The face of incompetence ...

The face of incompetence laid bare, courtesy Jared Kusher, a serial failure in all things related to real estate and business, now, in effect, runs FEMA in the age of COVID-19.

Jared Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, criticized governors Thursday, saying they don't have a handle on their own supplies of masks and ventilators needed to combat the coronavirus outbreak.

On Thursday, he explained that President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence came to him looking for new ideas and "outside of the box" thinking.

But his lack of experience has drawn scrutiny, especially when he referred to the national stockpile of medical supplies as "our stockpile."

"The notion of the federal stockpile was it's supposed to be our stockpile," he said. "It's not supposed to be states' stockpiles that they then use."

It gets "better".

The backlash was quick and harsh.

"I would dismiss what Mr. Kushner said," Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly, a Democrat, told NPR's Here & Now. "That is absolutely not the way it is supposed to work."

Kelly said the national stockpile was supposed to be a backup for states – and added the Trump administration should have done more to fill it.

"You know last time I checked, he's never run disasters," said Craig Fugate, who ran FEMA during the Obama administration.

Lastly ...

Indeed, part of Kushner's strength is his proximity to the president.

Your's truly disagrees, it's all of Kushner's strength without question.
