Trump Makes Interesting New Hire

President Donald Trump has taken another historic step to cut waste and restore efficiency in Washington. This week, he appointed Airbnb co-founder and Tesla board member Joe Gebbia as the nation’s first-ever Chief Design Officer.

Trump’s New Vision: Government That Actually Works for the People

The move is part of Trump’s broader push to make federal agencies “usable and beautiful,” modernizing outdated systems that have frustrated Americans for decades. The newly created National Design Studio will ensure that government services are run with the same ease and efficiency as leading businesses.

“An experience that projects excellence for our nation and makes life simpler for everyday Americans,” Gebbia said on X, comparing his mission to the smooth experience of shopping at the Apple Store.

Cutting Bureaucracy, Saving Taxpayer Dollars

Trump’s executive order directs Gebbia and his team to eliminate redundant design costs, standardize government services, and restore trust in how Washington delivers results. The studio will work directly with every major agency and report to White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.

Agencies are required to produce real, measurable improvements under Trump’s America by Design initiative by July 4, 2026 — ensuring progress is made on his watch.

A Business Leader’s Approach to Government

Gebbia will recruit top creative minds, streamline digital services, and focus on putting the American people first. The studio is set to close in three years, proving that Trump’s reforms are designed to deliver results — not grow another bloated bureaucracy.

In his announcement, Gebbia thanked Trump and pledged: “I will do my best to make the United States the most beautiful and user-friendly country in the digital world.”

Trump’s Legacy of Reform Continues

From border security to cutting regulations, and now tackling the inefficiencies of government design, President Trump is once again delivering on his promise to put America first. His critics may scoff, but everyday Americans know the truth: Washington is long overdue for a makeover, and Trump is the only leader willing to take it on.
