Sorry, but that’s like putting Wesley Crusher in charge of the bridge. He’s already in way over his head as it is.
Jared blew into a paper bag, his skin was slick with sweat, his eyes rolled back into his head.

Robert Mueller put an arm around his neck.
"You can do this, son. You've been wearing a wire for 6 months, its just a few months more."
"But chief of staff? Chief of staff?"

Also, can Jared Kushner be @POTUS Chief of Staff if he can't get beyond a medium level security clearance?
And one more question. Do we want a Chief of Staff who is in the pocket of Saudi Arabia? https://t.co/HJi2ec5fuR
How is Jared Kushner going to solve the opioid epidemic and broker peace in the Middle East while Chief of Staff?

Jared Kushner as chief of staff is perfect because he’s a triple threat of sucking at management, politics, and business

Jared Kushner is more Chief of Stiff than Chief of Staff.

So, if Trump does pick Kushner for Chief of Staff, how many people will claim dibs on "He went to Jared!"?
