It seemed inevitable that President Donald Trump’s search for a new chief of staff, after whiffing on multiple candidates to replace John Kelly, would come full circle back to the Trump family—and, predictably, to Jared Kushner. Here’s how bad things have gotten in the Trump administration: They are having trouble filling one of the most powerful posts in the country. To be fair, at this point, with special counsel Robert Mueller dropping legal bombs with increasing frequency and potency, taking the job would affix your face and career to a presidency that appears to be sinking into infamy. Whatever the motivations two years ago at the outset of the Trump term, the calculus has clearly changed for top Republican talent. Not to mention, the job will likely be an expensive one for whoever takes it, as anyone that close to Trump will surely require extensive legal representation to stay on the right side of the law.
