USA, Inc.

Donald Trump and Jared Kushner are trying to run the US as a family business. That's all they know how to do, even though it could be argued that Donald Trump himself isn't very good even at that.

The corporate analogy doesn't make sense. A company that is not even public listed is a poor model for the incredibly complex social and economic structure of the United States - so poor that it simply doesn't work.

The US is not a company. It is a country, and it's about time the current administration in the White House started treating it like one. While it still is.
