We are facing a corporate entity masquerading as a nationalist (not to be confused with patriot). By Presidential Fiat a layer of governance has been added and that's who is governing.

While Kushner is in the Middle East, Brothers Trump are opening the Trump golf course in Dubai.  
This is why neither party knows how to respond. The usual rules of engagement are not operating.
This is a fellow who declared April Sexual Harassment Awareness Month with no embarrassment! 
So while "we the people" try to make sense out of cognative dissonance - Trump is being challenged by Syria and Korea and China's leader does not play golf and hates it! 
Where we see Health Care -- he sees corporations insurance companies, hospitals, pharma...
Where we see prisons -- he sees corporations in the business of filling cells.

And he takes credit for sun rise!
