See the picture above, for instance, which depicts the delegation representing the United States—the most powerful country in the world—in a meeting with our geopolitically crucial Kurdish allies.
The gentleman on the lower right is Keith Schiller, whose qualification for being seated at this high-level meeting is that he is Donald Trump’s bodyguard.
And, of course, in the middle there is Jared Kushner, a random guy from New York who inherited a real estate business and married Trump’s daughter.
We may be screwed, guys.

TRUMP’S WHITE HOUSE SECURITY AIDE KEITH SCHILLER HAS HISTORY OF FINANCIAL WOES
Keith Schiller, the former Trump Organization security chief whom the president has brought into the White House as director of Oval Office operations, has a long trail of tax liens and mortgage foreclosures, according to financial records reviewed by Newsweek.
Schiller and his wife Lena were sued three times for unpaid taxes, once by New York State and twice by the IRS, the last instance as recently as four years ago, publicly available records show.
A decade ago, two of their properties, one in New York and one in Florida, were foreclosed for nonpayment.
