Trump’s son-in-law reportedly hindered the U.S. response to the coronavirus threat, as his real estate company may benefit from the $2 trillion rescue package.

In theory, the sweeping coronavirus rescue package passed by Congress and signed by the president last week was not supposed to benefit Donald Trump or anyone else in his family and their businesses. But according to a Politico analysis of the 880-page, $2 trillion legislation, Jared Kushner’s family business appears poised to capitalize on a provision of the relief bill allowing owners of low-to-moderate income housing to temporarily freeze mortgage payments. Kushner’s family real estate firm owns thousands of such units, and in exchange for agreeing not to evict tenants who can’t pay rent during the coronavirus crisis, would be able to receive federal assistance with its mortgage payments—even if it has the cash to cover them. “Could he take advantage of it?” Shekar Narasimhan, an expert in real estate financing and managing partner of Beekman Advisors, told Politico. “Yes, his company could.”

That the president’s son-in-law, who has taken a starring role in Trump’s coronavirus response theater, can benefit from the historic rescue bill speaks both to some of the shortcomings of the Senate deal and to the unchecked conflicts of interest that fester within the Trump administration. Trump himself is obviously the standard bearer when it comes to profiting off his presidency, but Kushner is no slouch himself; his long list of apparent White House grifts now seems to include tapping a health insurance firm his brother co-founded to create a government website like the one his father-in-law said last month was nearing completion with help from Google.

On March 13, Trump promised the site would allow users to type in their symptoms and “determine whether a test is warranted and to facilitate testing at a nearby convenient location.” As the Atlantic reported, that wasn’t true—but Oscar Health, a company linked to Kushner, was hired quickly after to build such a site. It was ultimately scrapped, but it seemed like yet another instance of the first family mixing personal business with state business. “It’s not typical,” Jessica Tillipman, an assistant dean at the George Washington University School of Law, told the Atlantic. “It’s usually not allowed.”

That Kushner may be able to benefit from his “shadow” coronavirus task force’s handling of the crisis is concerning, of course. But then again, the fact that he is involved at all in the federal government’s pandemic response, let alone helping to lead it, is alarming beyond measure. With no real qualifications, other than being married to Ivanka Trump, Kushner has already proved wildly overmatched by the comically-large portfolio his father-in-law entrusted to him, which has included trying to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He’s now blundering his way through the coronavirus crisis.

In the crucial weeks when the Trump could have been preparing to combat the COVID threat, Kushner was telling the president that the media was blowing the whole thing out of proportion. When it became clear that it actually was a real threat, one that will likely define an era, the senior adviser brushed off the error and again inserted himself into the proceedings—establishing his own task force to address the crisis, adding an additional layer of confusion onto an already deeply chaotic White House response, according to the New York Times.

Many in Trump’s orbit are unqualified for their roles. What makes Kushner so uniquely embarrassing is his apparent belief that he actually is, that he somehow knows better than everyone else. “I have all this data about ICU capacity,” Kushner said in a recent White House meeting, a source told my colleague Gabriel Sherman. “I’m doing my own projections, and I’ve gotten a lot smarter about this. New York doesn’t need all the ventilators” it requested. This absurd overconfidence in his own abilities would almost be funny were it not for the influence he has with the president, who has adopted his son-in-law’s assessment of New York’s dire resource shortage: “I don’t believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators,” Trump repeated to Sean Hannity late last month.

Not a good idea to give a Boomer Removal supporting millennial any power.

It's like everyone in trump's orbit thinks they're the best and brightest. I'd like to know who planted this false sense of superiority in them.
