He Went to Jared; Coronavirus Ed.

Dozens of Trump administration officials have trooped to the White House podium over the last two months to brief the public on their effort to combat coronavirus, but one person who hasn't -- Jared Kushner -- has emerged as perhaps the most pivotal figure in the national fight against the fast-growing pandemic.

What started two-and-a-half weeks ago as an effort to utilize the private sector to fix early testing failures has become an all-encompassing portfolio for Kushner, who, alongside a kitchen cabinet of outside experts including his former roommate and a suite of McKinsey consultants, has taken charge of the most important challenges facing the federal government: Expanding test access, ramping up industry production of needed medical supplies, and figuring out how to get those supplies to key locations.

Jared the Wunderkind will save us all.

Just like he's brought peace to the Middle East and fixed the Veterans' Administration, so now Jared is bringing his record of failure doing Trump's bidding to the pandemic.

Kushner is symptomatic of an American delusion: The belief that having a business degree qualifies the holder thereof to run anything, to do anything.

Because we've seen how well that's worked for Boeing.
