Trump baffled that his "chaos & loyalty" style of management doesn't work in government.

President Trump brought his chaos-and-loyalty theory of management into the White House, relying on competing factions, balanced by trusted family members, with himself perched atop as the gut-instinct decider. He now realizes this approach has flopped, and feels baffled and paralyzed by how to fix it, numerous friends and advisers tell us.

"Trump is thinking through his frustrations," said one Washington wise man close to the West Wing. "The team didn't put the windows in right."

...

He views the Trump White House in terms that could be applied to the iterative process of designing software. It's a beta White House. The senior official — the comment was "on background" — said the White House was operating on similar principles to the Trump campaign:

"We rode something until it didn't work any more," the official said. "We recognized it didn't work, we changed it, we adjusted it and then we kind of got better ... This was much more entrepreneurial."
In the White House, he said, "we're going to keep adjusting until we get it right.

Trump is in way over his head and has no idea how to get the WH running, because he has never headed an organization with less than 100% control. Trump was never part of a company-board. He doesn't know how a company with a balance of power is run.

I think, that's why he has brought in Ivanka and Jared.
He knows that his administration is dysfunctional and he knows that something is off, but he doesn't understand what and why.
Adding Ivanka and Jared is a random trial&error-move, in the hopes that it will somehow fix things.

"Trump garbled this because he is galactically stupid."

Donald Trump is such an idiot that he is unable to perceive his idiocy. He is a dangerous and unpredictable man.

3. Ivanka was bought in......

Because there needs to be a babysitter in the WH.

5. I can't wait until the G8 when Trump brings his daughter to sit-in with the other world leaders

I'm assuming they'll start having G7 meetings soon after...

6. G6. It's only G8 because they include Russia out of pity.
