Jared Kushner, who seems adamant on beating a dead horse (the horse being his failed response to the COVID-19 pandemic), is once-again proving how wholly unqualified he is for his job. Despite the obvious nepotism that afforded him the title of senior advisor to the president, Kushner was also, for some reason, put in charge of the COVID-19 task force despite having no medical training or expertise. And in true Trumpian fashion, hes failed nearly every step of the way. But new audio tapes from interviews between Kushner and Bob Woodward are providing an even more damning portrait of those failings.
In the tapes, it is revealed that Kushner was actively hostile to and openly disregarding the advice of doctors when it came to how to handle the pandemic, which has so far claimed the lives of over a quarter of a million Americans. And his ultimate goal was for the Trump administration to get the country back from the doctors.
Kushner a real estate executive who has handed the reins on the countrys largest public health crisis in a century shamelessly tells Woodward about his efforts to wrest control of the response from the hands of the doctors who were advising him. In the April interview which was acquired by CNN, Kushner describes three phases of the pandemic, which was at that point still hammering New York City: the panic phase, the pain phase and then the comeback phase.
After Trumps reopening plan was announced, Kushner told Woodward it was the beginning of the comeback phase which doesnt mean theres not still a lot of pain and there wont be pain for a while, but that basically was, weve now put out rules to get back to work. Trumps now back in charge. Its not the doctors. It was then when Kushner referred to the guidelines for reopening the countrys economy as Trump getting the country back from the doctors so he could own the open-up.

(182,803 posts)Jared advised Trump that this whole thing was no biggee. Treat it like bad PR. Trump did which set in motion lost February and Trump setting policy because he cant process (let alone admit) that he made a mistake. He realized hed lost the game so he tried to put it on the Governors.
Meanwhile Jared was screwing up testing then trying to dump it on blue states. They didnt vote for Trump and it would make their Governors look bad. Then Jared screwed up on PPE because he didnt trust government experts and thought the market could handle it. Vanity Fair has two fantastic articles on Jareds complete miserable failures.
