The president’s son-in-law and senior adviser takes a leading role in a variety of Trump challenges, this time responding to the escalating coronavirus outbreak.

Just before midnight Wednesday, a doctor asked a group of fellow emergency room physicians on Facebook how they would combat the escalating coronavirus outbreak.

“I have direct channel to person now in charge at White House,” Kurt Kloss wrote in his post.

The next morning, after hundreds of doctors responded, Kloss explained why he sought the suggestions: Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, had asked him for recommendations.

The Facebook crowd-sourcing exercise showed how Trump‘s team is scrambling for solutions to confront the outbreak after weeks of criticism for the administration's sluggish response, a shortage of tests and the president’s own rhetoric downplaying the pandemic. It is now expected to consume the final year of Trump's first term and threaten his campaign for a second term.

Wow...

1. The piece of shit is basically asking random people for advice

[Volaris]

11. I hope the majority of responses are just to post youtube clips of Obama doing Correct Managment.

If this dumb fucker has to ask facebook for ideas, I want us to use that to render '...humiliations galore!'

[berni_mccoy]

2. Well at least Jared realizes what he doesn't know

And knows to ask for help.

Silver linings and all that...

[Ghost Dog]

6. Crowd-sourcing 'experts'. Hmm. But who is qualified to judge between their suggestions?

Certainly not the Annointed One.

[berni_mccoy]

14. Heh, I didn't say what he was doing was a good idea..

just trying to find any positive in a negative scenario...

[tanyev]

3. Gosh, if only they had had pandemic experts already working for the government.

[crickets]

15. +1

4. Apparently he's getting more memes and cat videos than actual ideas.

Hey Jared - viral media is not what you think it is.

8. .

or, maybe this is more appropriate:

[MFGsunny]

5. Proving over and over again ...

... that this maladministration is a PANDEMIC of the CORRUPT STUPID.



Let us live in the light.

[dawg day]

7. Who needs entire agencies and departments devoted to medical research and information?

When Jared can just ask his FB buddies?


And exactly what are these FB physicians going to say? They'll probably say, "WE NEED TESTS!" and "WE NEED MONEY!" and "OUR PATIENTS NEED TO BE ABLE TO BE SURE THEY WON'T BE FIRED OR BANKRUPTED IF THEY GET SICK!"

Apparently when the CDC and the Democrats in Congress and everyone else in the world said that, Jared couldn't hear it.

[klook]

9. Holy shit! I thought this was a prank!!

Wow... so the porcelain-doll son-in-law is taking charge. This will all be over in a matter of hours. Everybody, buy some stocks and book a cruise!

10. Is "drink bleach" still on the list?

Wasn’t that going around Facebook?

12. Prescient

16. I think he means "in charge over this weekend"

"In charge of the coronavirus response" has the job life expectancy of "second in command of al Qaeda".

I think it'll be Ben Carson by the start of next week. Then Stephen Miller. Then Vladimir Putin. Then Mohammed bone Saw.

17. Jared Kushner's plan for tRUMP healthcare: Let the internet diagnose and treat you.

Uh huh...
Jared/tRUMP has become the ditsy woman in the commercial that says, 'It has to be true. They can't put anything on the internet, unless it's true.'

18. In the snip: Kurt Kloss's daughter is married to Jared's brother

So this is more "he's family - we can trust him to run a life-critical national emergency". The similarity to a Mafia family mob knows no bounds.

Then again, there is this:

“The only thing that gave me any sense of confidence was that Dr. Anthony Faucci [sic] was on that stage,” responded Kloss

so back then, he was still professional enough to see that putting Pence "in charge" was a bad move. Does that also apply to his daughter's brother-in-law, with a similar lack of medical qualifications, and even less experience in crisis management being the "person now in charge at White House"?
