Two BFF’s
of the Same Feather Flocking
(Kushner
and MBS)
A great Jared
Kushner in-depth analysis here
from CNN via MSN:
Subject: Jared Kushner is profoundly clueless
Introduction: Does Jared Kushner know anything relevant
to his White House role at all? Have any comprehension of the role of a public
servant? See a purpose in his life other than elevating himself into
ever-higher echelons of wealth and influence? If you were going by his remarks
in a recent interview with Axios,
the answer would have to be no.
Asked by Jonathan Swan to name the
thing Trump will be known for in 50 or 100 years, Kushner replied, in part: “What
this President did is he represented an outsider who came in, brought in a ton
of people who never would've been in Washington before who were not qualified
by conventional standards. And he's brought in a ton of people that have
brought great results to this country both economically and from a national
security point of view.”
It is true
that Trump brought in a great many outsiders who were not qualified for their
administration jobs by conventional standards (or any standards).
His cabinet members and other appointments have
been often inept, many of them just seriously inexperienced. Even his
ambassadors are the least qualified in living memory.
As a result,
America's reputation worldwide has been sullied, we are facing unprecedented
attacks on freedom of the press, election interference from a hostile foreign
power has gone largely ignored by the administration, and we may be facing a
constitutional crisis. Those are not great results. They are disastrous to our
living democracy.
Kushner
sputtered and spun, looking like a little boy dressed up in his father's suit,
unable to give a definitive or direct answer to nearly every question asked of
him. From abortion rights to Israel, Palestinians to the presidential campaign,
Kushner served word salad. It was a rare and jarring look inside the mind of a
cipher made suddenly and undeservedly powerful. What we saw: A whole lot of
nothing.
Kushner's
interview would have been comical if this under qualified senior adviser didn't
have the ear of the leader of the free world, and didn't, absurdly, believe
himself the right guy to offer advice on any number of matters – including
taking over the Middle East peace process.
Kushner’s real
qualifications? He married a Trump, and his father-in-law likes him. Before
that, Kushner had achieved little beyond a mediocre academic career, a massive
real estate failure via his criminal dad's company, and the decision to
purchase a newspaper – The New York
Observer – as a vanity project that he promptly ran into the ground.
