Trump Taps Airbnb Guy to Design Government Like iPhone App
Joe Gebbia, Airbnb co-founder turned U.S. chief design officer, is here to rescue federal websites from looking like a Windows 98 relic. Named by President Trump, whoās been busy turning the White House into a Mar-a-Lago boutique hotel, Gebbia promises a 'beautifully designed' and 'Apple Store-like experience' for the governmentās digital front door. His executive order, 'Improving Our Nation Through Better Design,' aims to delete the annoying partsābecause as Gebbia says, 'The best part is no part.' July 4, 2026 is the deadlineājust in time for America to celebrate its 250th birthday with websites that actually work. Bravo!

Government websites are about to get an Airbnb glow-up courtesy of Trumpās new design czar. Because nothing screams patriotism like swiping right to pay your taxes or book your DMV appointment.
Nothing says "I love America" like upgrading government websites from '404 error' chic to sleek Apple Store vibes. Joe Gebbia, ex-Airbnb, on the jobānow letās just pray Mar-a-Lago style doesnāt rub off on Congress.
Trump and Gebbia want federal websites so elegant you'll actually want to visit them. Revolutionary concept: government digital drop-off points designed like luxury hotels, not your uncleās cluttered junk drawer.
