"When the going got tough, Kushner ran...."
Farewell to Jared Kushner, dilettante staffer
it is time to say farewell to the myriad, misbegotten, morally compromised crew that enabled this president.
bid adieu to one Trump staffer who stood out with a special brand of awful.
“The Toddler in Chief,” Donald Trump burned through staff so quickly that by the end, he was left with a motley crew of sycophants (think Dan Scavino), Faustians (think William P. Barr), and rejects (think Peter Navarro or the other incompetents currently running U.S. foreign policy).
oh dear God what a beclowning of the entire country.
I speak, of course, of Jared Kushner.
Ivanka knew, somewhere deep down, that she was an impostor.
Kushner is a different brand of vodka. He occupied a laughably large policy portfolio and exuded a serene belief in his own ability to solve any problem. While chiefs of staff came and went, Kushner was always the shadow-chief of staff with the Get Out of Jail Free card of being quasi-family. When White House security specialists denied him a permanent security clearance because he had omitted several foreign contacts in his paperwork, for example, Trump overruled them. In an administration that was ostensibly populist, Kushner carried himself as a royal.
#ToddlerinChief side hustle, ... a cornucopia of incompetence wrapped up in exasperation by senior staffers, smothered in Jared’s serene confidence in his own ability to solve a problem without doing the reading.
When Trump forced a government shutdown at the end of 2018, Kushner waltzed in believing he could save the day and proved himself to be laughably out of his depth. His attempt to reform immigration was a bust. Less funny was his decision to play a key role in the pandemic response, where by most accounts he created more problems than he solved. It is fitting that his final act is to serve as the corrupt auctioneer for Trump’s last wave of presidential pardons.
The descriptions of Kushner’s ignorance and incompetence come from too many sources and situations to be explained away solely by petty bureaucratic politics...
He is the purest creation of the Trump administration, a dumb guy’s version of a smart person.
There should be no need to ever write his name in this column again.

Awesome take down! This.
"In an administration that was ostensibly populist, Kushner carried himself as a royal." This sums up the whole phoniness of the "Trump is a populist" myth in one brief sentence. They *all* think of themselves as royalty, and the spawn wish to be the next in the dynasty to be queen or king.
