(Parody) Hosts of “Shark Tank” join President Trump’s task force to reopen U.S. economy

[Disclaimer: This article is a parody story. While some events in this article are actually taking place, it is written for comedy purposes and shouldn’t be taken too seriously.] 

President Donald Trump announced the creation of a second White House task force to reopen the U.S. economy and get Americans and American businesses back to work.

This task force will consist of experts — both in the Trump Administration and in the private sector — in economics and business to help figure out the best way to reopen the U.S. economy and decide when to open it — whether in 4-8 weeks or a few months.

The names of everyone on the “Opening our Country” Task Force have yet to be released, as the task force is still forming, but at least six of them have been announced.

President Trump announced at one of his nearly daily White House Coronavirus Task Force briefings that NBA’s Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, Kevin O’Leary, Lori Greiner, Robert Gerjavec, Barbara Corcoran and Daymond John – the “Sharks” of “Shark Tank” – will be joining Trump’s economic task force.

“These guys are amazing because they are experts in business and economics,” Trump said of the “Shark Tank” team. “Have you seen ‘Shark Tank’? They know a good deal and great business model when they see one.”

“Shark Tank” is a reality TV show where rich investors (“Sharks”) hear from aspiring entrepreneurs and decide whether to support the entrepreneurs’ business or product.

The “Sharks” believe they can help the White House decide which businesses and entrepreneurs to invest in.

“We’re experts in business, employing workers and working with entrepreneurs,” Cuban said at today’s White House Coronavirus Task Force briefing, where the “Sharks” were announced as members of President Trump’s council for the second task force. “We’ll help open our country back up so that we can get both money and products out to consumers and workers.”

“I’m excited to compete against my fellow ‘sharks’ to see which one of us offers Trump a better deal to reopen our economy,” O’Leary said, grinning.

Also joining President Trump’s “Opening our Country” Task Force include Mike Baxter, Executive Director of Marketing for Outdoor Man; Emmitt Smith and Roger Staubach, two former Dallas Cowboys who managed to be successful after their football careers ended; Lamar Hunt, Jr., owner of the Kansas City Mavericks hockey team and an Advisory Board Member for the Kansas City Chiefs; and Clark Hunt, CEO of the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (2024) Review

The movie starts by introducing us to the Herdmans, a group of poor kids who are the worst kids in town. Even the girls.   Told through the narration of the main protagonist, Beth Bradley, the Herdmans are bullies and juvenile delinquents who spend their time terrorizing the other kids and the townspeople.  Everyone in town hates them, especially the parishioners and busy-body mothers at the local Christian parish.  That changes as the film progresses and our main characters see the Herdmans in a new light as they become involved in the town’s local Christmas pageant.  Sadly, Grace Bradley is forced to take over the pageant after Mrs. Armstrong breaks her legs.  When the Herdmans join the Christmas pageant under the motivation of receiving free food and desserts by going to church, somewhere nobody expected the Herdmans to show their faces, every expects the worst to happen.  However, once the pageant comes around, the entire town has a newfound...

Movie Review: The 5th Wave as Anti-Military propaganda

This article was originally published on June 9, 2017. Normally a story that involves humans fighting seemingly invincible aliens warrants a good story. You'd also think the military would be there to protect Americans. But before long, it becomes clear to the protagonists in “The 5th Wave (2016)” that Americans should resist the military, that the soldiers are the real enemy to humanity. "The 5th Wave," based on the Rick Yancey novel of the same name, follows a long line of Hollywood's assaults on the honor and integers of the brave men and women who fight for their country. Unfortunately, most of Hollywood hasn't limited their attacks to five. The film centers around a young girl who sets out to find her brother after their father is killed in a massacre carried out by military forces. Right after the parents do the natural thing and resist being separated from their children forever. This is the director's way of telli...
