Trump taps Kushner to lead a "SWAT team" to fix government with business ideas

Since no one currently serving in the White House seems to know a single thing about crafting government policy I'm going to take a really wild guess here and say that all this office is going to do is help Trump crank out unconstitutional executive orders with 100% more efficiency.

Do you really think Trump would ever give a homeless man any job?
Would likely be an improvement...
...but it would never happen. Trump and Republicans seem to hate the idea of poor and homeless even existing.
I'm thinking it will take years for Americans to get stuff fixed after they get rid of Trump :/

This sounds like the plot of some bad movie starring Dennis Quaid and Topher Grace. Oh wait...
In Good Company (2004) - A middle-aged ad exec is faced with a new boss who's nearly half his age... and who also happens to be sleeping with his daughter.

Well regardless, I find it funny that people that know nothing about government are trying to change it.

So the office on filtering federal money to businessmen with bridges to nowhere but most importantly to Kushner and Trump? This is such a godamn apparent money grabbing scheme and I hope they get every single transaction recorded for scrutiny.

Good idea to point that out! I'll put it in the OP.

Trump is your new father in law that just found out you work with computers and now calls you every day because the internet broke again and the screen says "no signal"

He's the only person slightly smarter than a snapping turtle who's willing the suffer Trump's company and conversation for more than an hour a week.
In Trump's child-like world view he's probably the smartest man in the entire world (as he automatically disqualifies anyone who doesn't like him from being intelligent).
First of all Mussolini didn't say it (well, you can't prove a positive, but AFAIK there isn't a good source for that), but maybe more importantly, you might want to look what corporatism means. I know it's kinda became this catchall phrase for anything that take big business interests above all else, but that's not what it actually means, nor is the bullshit that Trump is doing with Kushner or "running the government like a business" is really related to it.

Much like his 30-day ISIS plan, and repealing and replacing Obamacare on "day one", it turns out his plan is to shrug and hand it off to someone else. Which is exactly how he ran his business during The Apprentice.

I thought Jared was single-handedly going to bring peace to the Middle East?
I think I can say sincerely that if he fully completes that list I will be all for Kushner in 2020
heck, he only needs to complete the two I bolded lol.
though this really seems to just be another case of promising the moon to merely give someone a handful of sand in their eyes.
Is the homeless man related to Trump or does he have a copy of a peepee tape? That's the prerequisite for a job in the whitehouse.
He can do that on Fridays; this will take up most of the week, though.

The parody that keeps on giving, 'swat team of strategic consultants', holy shit lol.
I once had a narcissist boss, and he too created these hilarious parallel organisations consisting of his favourite yes people, having the most grandiose missions like 'bring digital marketing knowledge to how hardware is designed' or 'run our global tradeshows like cool pop-up shops'. This poor team only had his 'mandate' to get things done in an organisation of 50,000+ people. Obviously not much got done.

After that he can solve world hunger, start a colony on Mars, payback all of the US' National Debt and give all Americans jobs.
Business approaches to welfare in order to maximize profit, duh.
That was the first thing that popped in my mind as I read the title.
Is Jared Kushner the new acting President?

Kushner is Trump's son in law.
Kushner is rich because his dad got rich before his dad was sent to prison (by Chris Christie) for blackmail.
Kushner's foreign policy experience is that Kushner is Jewish and that is literally it and I am not shitting you. Trump views Kushner as a Magic Jew.

I mean, only by total number of jobs, not Trump Employment Rate.
Kushner went from having one job to twelve. Tiffany remains unemployed. I have definite misgivings about Eric reported occupation of 'Professional Creepy Photobomber', too.

This is the start of "fleecing" America right?
These motherfuckers just keep adding it to the tab, they don't have to worry, taxpayers got them covered
Watch all these assholes become multi-millionaires, it sure will be a redistribution of wealth, just his cronies stealing cookie from the jar red handed and getting away it

Trump's desperate flailings definitely remind me of a SWAT team.
And who has oversight over Kushner? This asshole's son in law is spearheading solutions to problems with (what I assume are) contracts and solutions that benefit Trump's own brand in the end. The whole issue we had over nepotism with Kushner/Ivanka was that we have no fucking idea where they'll throw government money. This is horse shit.
It's worse than I thought...

"Above the grind of politics"
So many people operating under this illusion process doesn't happen for a reason.
I'm sure Trump's "do what my unelected son in law with no political experience tells you" hit squad won't backfire or create even more deeply entrenched resentment in any way.

Pretty well. They're making so much money off of the Presidency right now.
Maybe Trump actually believes the conspiracies about Jews running the secret world government and decided to leverage that.
It's because Kushner got Ivanka imo. I can't think of another reason for Trump to prop him up so hard short of him banging his golden daughter whom he likely has wanted to as well.

If something good comes from this then alls well. Trouble is when you had over a $300 billion demand to Germany i can only sense America getting more and more isolated from the rest of the world. What will this SWAT team dream up?
I imagine in the next few weeks and months import duties rising for foreign un-american goods. Will we see a trade war with the rest of the world who has been taking advantage of America. We live in interesting times. Or dangerous times. Definitely unprecedented times with an unstable and seriously unfit for office american president.
