Prince Jared, husband to Princess Ivanka, has been given an astonishing variety of responsibilities since the Orange Messiah was anointed prez by the EC. Everything from reorganizing the VA to bringing peace to the ME. These are not small tasks for anyone, let alone someone whose only qualification for tackling them is the wedding ring on his finger.
Most recently he was given another job. Help the government procure PPE. It did not go well.
"The fumbling search for new supplies — heralded by Mr. Trump and Mr. Kushner as a way to pipe private-sector hustle and accountability into the hidebound federal bureaucracy — became a case study of Mr. Trump’s style of governing, in which personal relationships and loyalty are often prized over governmental expertise, and private interests are granted extraordinary access and deference."
One could argue the Peter Principle applied to Jared from the moment he crossed the threshold entering the WH. But his failures have not stopped Dad-in-Law from heaping ever more responsibility on the prince. And now..........this.
Kushner’s Screwed Up His COVID-19 Jobs—Now He’s Got an Even Bigger One
"Already under fire for his role atop a shadow task force aiding the administration’s response to the coronavirus, senior White House aide Jared Kushner is now being handed another critical job: helping get a vaccine for the disease developed in record time.
President Donald Trump, who has said he believes a COVID-19 vaccine will be available by the end of the year, is turning to his son-in-law to help streamline the effort, branded, “Operation Warp Speed.” Kushner is working alongside White House senior adviser Peter Navarro, who pitched the operation via memo to the president’s coronavirus task force as early as this February."

The thing I want to say about this stunning, shameless display of nepotism is it's going to cost human lives. Just as the admin's bungled response to COVID has cost human lives. The amount of death and human suffering, let alone the economic damage, that has come as a result of Trump's failures may have already exceeded the tragic consequences of Dubya decision to "liberate" Iraq. This country has paid, and is paying, an extraordinary price for electing people like Don and George, people who are simply unqualified for the job of prez.

Young, inexperienced workers scrambled to sort through tips on equipment desperately needed to fight the coronavirus while warehouses ran bare and doctors made their own gear.

Operation Warp Speed is certainly ambitious. But Trump’s own advisers say it’s overly so, even with his son-in-law involved.
