There is a bit of a self-correcting apparatus built into that kind of greed, though. The Kushner types are thoroughbred parasites; they still need a living host to keep sucking wealth out of. The newer breed of Trump sycophant is just ripping the copper wire out of the walls. We've hit the crackhead era.
Yeah, I'm afraid of this. I'm afraid of the US ending up being a husk of a nation akin to Russia. The worst Kushner-style parasites would do is mold the US into China, which at least resembles a functioning nation.
This current lot wants to steal and sell anything not bolted to the foundation and then sell the foundation to the highest bidder.
How you even come to the conclusion that kushner-style parasites would somehow mold the US into anything remotely like china is interesting. Something like gilded age 1880 USA makes more sense.

And, to be clear, most of them were also awful in their own ways. They were mostly about self-enrichment rather than installing a new world order.
