President Trump plans to unveil a new White House office on Monday with sweeping authority to overhaul the federal bureaucracy and fulfill key campaign promises such as reforming care for veterans and fighting opioid addiction by harvesting ideas from the business world and, potentially, privatizing some government functions. The White House Office of American Innovation, to be led by Jared Kushner, the presidents son-in-law and senior adviser, will operate as its own nimble power center within the West Wing and will report directly to Trump.
Viewed internally as a SWAT team of strategic consultants, the office will be staffed by former business executives and is designed to infuse fresh thinking into Washington, float above the daily political grind and create a lasting legacy for a president still searching for signature achievements.

Kushner is positioning the new office as an offensive team an aggressive, nonideological ideas factory capable of attracting top talent from both inside and outside of government, and serving as a conduit with the business, philanthropic and academic communities.
We should have excellence in government, Kushner said Sunday in an interview in his West Wing office. The government should be run like a great American company. Our hope is that we can achieve successes and efficiencies for our customers, who are the citizens.
The innovation office has a particular focus on technology and data, and it is working with such titans as Apple chief executive Tim Cook, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Salesforce chief executive Marc Benioff and Tesla founder and chief executive Elon Musk. The group has already hosted sessions with more than 100 such leaders and government officials.

Nice piece of analysis.
Show me where Education is delegated to the Feds!
You and your ilk are a vestigial remnant of a bygone era, when picking fights and creating division was how to keep America weak and hopeless. Go to hell, and take your poison with you.
GO TRUMP!!!!
Ahhh. I see. Since you obviously missed it:
"As to the corpulence of our current government swine, I believe it is among the goals of this Swat Team to put those steatopygic piggys on a liposuction diet."
What that means is the Swat Team will be pushing for, AND DELIVERING ON, a smaller, much less expensive, non-intrusive government... like the one prescribed in our Constitution.
Just like the one you say you want. And Jared's services won't cost you a dime... he's working for free, just like all of Trump's cabinet.
Keep in mind, PB, that it has been a long time since we had something to cheer about, and it'll take some time for the less imaginative among us to get out of their knee-jerk "Bitch about EVERYTHING!!" mode.
They'll come around, usually about 2-to-4 years after all the smart people are already on board. Be patient with them... they start with such a tragic disadvantage to begin with.
Slick line.
Could not be clearer.
Not too tough for a to-the-manor-born young billionaire to hire tech people for Trump’s campaign. Should have been done earlier, but that wasn’t likely Kushner’s fault. Still, no big accomplishment on his part.
"You have to break a few eggs to make an omelet...Welcome Jared Kushner, I wish you all the luck in the world; fixing something that has been this broken for a very long time, you have my prayers also.
You are absolutely and totally wrong. The extremely long article in Forbes describing the Kushner accomplishment details exactly how wrong you are. He was by the way on that Forbes cover.
The kushner effort in 2016 will be the subject of study for decades to come
Did you travel alot on duty? My father-in-law was Navy. He was on the ship that retrieved the first chimp to return from space. I can't imagine having even a tiny role in something so huge, or that that so changed the world.
Good to know you. Thank you for your service.
Sorry, the hype not merited. (And I’ve worked in the tech field for decades.)
And very unfortunate.
I'd like to think he doesn't post here...
You are correct but it is not an ordinary news blurb
The Forbes article on Kushner is intended to be definitive history.
Yes, i did travel, 19 countries in the six years from 1975 to 1981. USS South Carolina, check out navsource.org for a look at all naval vessals ever built for our nation. Thank you for the acknowledgement. Sorry you couldn’t have that opportunity
"...identify which parts of the Trump platform mattered most: trade, immigration or change. Tools like Deep Root drove the scaled-back TV ad spending by identifying shows popular with specific voter blocks in specific regions--say, NCIS for anti-ObamaCare voters or The Walking Dead for people worried about immigration. Kushner built a custom geo-location tool that plotted the location density of about 20 voter types over a live Google Maps interface."
"Soon the data operation dictated every campaign decision: travel, fundraising, advertising, rally locations--even the topics of the speeches. "He put all the different pieces together," Parscale says. "And what's funny is the outside world was so obsessed about this little piece or that, they didn't pick up that it was all being orchestrated so well."
This guy is a legitimate genius. What a powerhouse, and how propitious and even serendipitous that he should be Trump's son-in-law?! Like we've said often, this Trump Team will re-shape future elections, Washington, America, and the world for the next century, with some stunningly fantastic results.
God really chose to bless us. May our support of Israel, and our turning back to face Him, continue to find us worthy.
Do you really think Trump wants some old fat guy hanging around?
It’s not.
That’s why deVos is there.
President Trump is putting people in his Cabinet that can whittle down the various govt agencies.
The endeavor starts someplace, & putting people in place is the first step.
