Trump thinks son-in-law Jared Kushner is giving him bad political advice: Report

by Caitlin Yilek | Nov 1, 2017, 2:11 PM

President Trump thinks White House adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner is giving him bad political advice as special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election heats up.

Trump told former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon that he blames Kushner for the firings of former national security adviser Mike Flynn and former FBI Director James Comey, Vanity Fair reported Wednesday.

Comey’s firing led to the appointment of Mueller as special counsel. Kushner reportedly pushed for Comey’s dismissal as he investigated possible collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia.

“Jared is the worst political adviser in the White House in modern history,” former Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg told the publication.

“I’m only saying publicly what everyone says behind the scenes at Fox News, in conservative media, and the Senate and Congress,” he added.

* You can't get enough popcorn for this hot mess*

[unblock]

1. as opposed to everyone else in that den of incompetence?

an unsurprising result when experience and competence are seen as red flags in the hiring process....

[Ilsa]

28. Your subject line nails it. nt

[lagomorph777]

2. Oops - another government witness created.

[OhioBlue]

40. right!? It's not like his family has a way of turning on each other for personal gains....

oh wait.

[OnDoutside]

3. Amazingly his biggest regret isn't having committed Treason !

[madaboutharry]

4. "If anyone can make peace in the Middle East, it's going to be Jared!"

Remember when Jared was going to fix the world?

Didn't he have a portfolio of 25 problems/issues to oversee?

[brush]

7. Not only that, he's got an investment portfolio with a failing 666 5th Ave. building in it.

I mean who would buy a building with an address of 666?

That's just asking for trouble, and trouble it is.

[PJMcK]

16. It's actually kind of a cool building

Years ago, my ex-wife worked in 666 Fifth Avenue. The building was lovely with a wonderful street-level public atrium that ran through the building from 52nd Street to 53rd Street. One wall of the atrium was a waterfall and the white noise would cancel out the street sounds.

On the top floor was an excellent restaurant called Top of the Sixes. Their happy hour ran from 4:30 till 7:30 and they had a very large, free buffet, (as long as you were buying drinks).

This was all before the 9/11 terrorist attacks and I think the atrium has been closed off. I don't know if there's still a restaurant but the building has serious problems finding tenants. I hope Kushner gets killed when his loans come due.

[brush]

18. It's across from the library on 5th. The problem with that building is it's underwater...

he can't fill it with tenants and millions of debt payments are due in Jan.

666? Come on. He was crazy to buy that building, as if buying the Observer, a newspaper, when the newspaper industry is cratering wasn't enough poor business acumen.

And the fact that trump put him in charge of the world, just about, says as much about trumps' business sense as it does Kushner's.

[PJMcK]

22. Why are people superstitious about numbers?

It's three integers. I find it weird that people are nervous about certain numbers.

For example, many buildings don't have a thirteenth floor; often, one bank of elevators will go from 1-12 with another bank from 14 on up. And basements are NEVER given a negative number, instead they get letters like B, SB or SSB.

Neil deGrasse Tyson makes these points effectively:

"What does it say for our future when we have people afraid of a number?"

Regardless, I hope Kushner loses his ass with that building. Like other stupid things he's done, it will illustrate that he's just like his father-in-law:

HE'S AN IDIOT!

[brush]

23. It's supposed to be the sign of the devil. There are hundreds of thousands of buildings...

to invest in in the NYC area, why buy one with that number even if you don't believe what 666 allegedly symbolizes?

Other people like tenants, possible investment partners and others do.

Spend the money somewhere else.

[PJMcK]

24. What's "the devil"?

Isn't that a fable from the Iron Age?

Of course, I know the Revelations verse about the sign of the beast. My observation is that people have nothing to fear from numbers. Kushner's building isn't evil and it's primitive to think that the address welcomes Satan into its lobby.

[brush]

26. You don't believe it. That doesn't mean others don't. Be smart, why buy something that others...

may shy away from?

In a multi-million dollar purchase like that you want as large a pool of prospective tenants and investment partners as possible.

Not rocket science.

[mountain grammy]

25. Oh yeah, I ate there once.. long time ago

never made the connection.

[SergeStorms]

31. Right, and Jared....

was tasked with "solving" America's opioid epidemic. Well, Donnie had to do that one all by himself by making a speech. So, apparently the opioid epidemic is over with now, because Donnie made a speech about it! Thank the flying spaghetti monster for that! Problem solved, and without Jared's help.

[FSogol]

5. Plus, he hasn't created peace in the Middle East yet.

[lapfog_1]

6. Jared's advice wasn't all that bad, here is why

Flynn had to be fired... his connections to Russia and Turkey were going to come out and he would have lost his security clearance anyway... or Trump would have had to personally reinstate it and it would all be made public and Flynn would have to go anyway.

As for Comey... yes firing Comey led to Mueller being appointed, but does anyone think that Comey's investigation would NOT have turned up all the crap that is floating to the top of this cesspool?

Optics looked bad for firing Comey. It might lead to an obstruction charge. Unlikely that will be enough to bring down trump. Collusion, money laundering, illegal loans from Russian mobsters... that will bring down trump. Comey would have found all of that anyway.

[brush]

8. We don't know that. Comey was the repug hack who flipped the election for trump.

Who's to say he wouldn't have cleared trump?

Whatever the case, trump foolishly put Kushner in positions wa-a-a-a-a-y over his head.

[lapfog_1]

9. yes

much like most of his appointments to the cabinet and senior WH staff.

Kushner and Ivanka should never have been near the White House.

But Bannon is just trying to get some revenge for his own firing.

[LiberalLovinLug]

33. this

I trust Mueller 1000x more than Comey with this kind of investigation. Maybe I shouldn't as Mueller is also a registered Republican. But at least there is no proof of bias like there is with Comey. Trump freaked out by things like Comey not swearing a loyalty blood oath to him and keeping notes in the WH which he took as disrespecting his authoroutaaaaaay. But when push came to shove, Comey had already proven his loyalty to his party. He had a better shot with Comey in charge.

“Jared is the worst political adviser in the White House in modern history,”
lol. Maybe its because he's never had any experience and was hired off the street based on being married to his favorite and hottest daughter.

[underpants]

10. This is a guy who put all the family's chips back on the table on one bet

The billlion dollar building

[gibraltar72]

11. Just thought

of a term used years ago when I was a machine repairman in a factory making rockets and mortar shells for Vietnam war. common saying was he or sometimes I can either fix it or fuck it up so no one else can!

[Motley13]

12. Laugh some more, all of Jared's assignments

Just imagine what Kushner’s daily schedule is going to be like:

9:00-9:30: “Fox and Friends” debrief.

9:30-10:00: Provide broadband internet service to entire nation.

10:00-11:00: Stop working on providing broadband internet service to entire nation to focus on just providing it to entire government first.

11:00-11:30: Elevensies.

11:30-1:00: Working lunch to solve the intractable Israel-Palestine peace process that adults in government have been working on to no avail for decades.

1:00-1:30: What do you mean there are other places in the Middle East that need tending to? FFS, people, I can’t possibly do everything!

1:30-2:00: Daily “I can’t possibly do everything” meeting with POTUS. POTUS reminds Kushner that the AHCA went down because he was off in Aspen, skiing.

2:00-2:15: Cancel all skiing vacations for the foreseeable future.

2:15-2:30: Search for another samovar of coffee to push through the rest of the afternoon.

2:30-3:30: Develop one “transformative project for America under the banner of Trump’s $1 billion infrastructure program.”

3:30-3:45: Meeting with POTUS to discuss “transformative project.” POTUS says there is still something missing.

3:45-4:15: WHAT IS IT MISSING? COME ON KUSHNER, THINK! YOU CAN DO THIS.

4:15-4:30: Trump’s name added to transformative project. POTUS signs off.

4:30-4:45: A brief wander through the White House. How did it come to this? Didn’t life used to be so much simpler? I could have done anything. I really would have liked to own the Dodgers. Oh, man, the crack of bat, fists pounding on leather, the scents of an afternoon ballgame? Heaven is a patch of well-manicured grass, the cheers of the crowd, fathers in the upper decks teaching their freckle-faced kids how to score the game, and nothing but the expanse of a hazy Southern California afternoon ahead of you. That should have been me. That’s what I was meant to do. How did I end up here? I only vaguely remember: My name, shouted in a certain dawn … a message … a summons … There must have been a moment, at the beginning, where I could have said – no. But somehow, I missed it.

4:45-6:00: Fix the VA system, the opioid crisis, streamline government, and maybe do some trade stuff?

[monmouth4]

13. OR, Ivanka is screaming "Get him out of this Daddy" Just a guess..n/t

[Vinca]

14. Not to fear, Don. Jared will be on house arrest before you know it.

[OldHippieChick]

15. Just a thought, but perhaps

he could have selected someone w/ political experience to give him political advice. One might surmise he was wanting someone to blame down the road when it all blew up in his face.

[dixiegrrrrl]

38. But one must remember, Trump refuses all advice, cause he knows everything!

Jared is Trump's mini-me.

[Turbineguy]

17. I don't think that's fair.

He has no business being put in that role. It's the guy who hired him.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. Circular finger pointing & firing squad. Soon it will be every man for themselves.

Always was every woman for themselves because they have always known they can't depend on Republicon men.

[dixiegrrrrl]

41. Well, Ivanka is sure in the middle. Wonder who would rat out first....Daddy or Jarhead?

She's been just as involved with skulduggery as both of them.

[Roland99]

20. So much for personal responsibility and having the best words

And knowing more than the generals

And being the only one who can fix things

And....

[FreeStateDemocrat]

21. Scapegoat, the sacrificial lamb (a.k.a. privileged asshole)!

[Squinch]

27. And who ever could have seen that coming??? Jared has such great credentials for the job!!!

Such assholes.

[blueinredohio]

29. When is Trump going to fire him?

[malaise]

30. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah hahahahahahah

All he needs to say now is that Jared is a good guy and the indictment will follow

[SergeStorms]

32. And then....

Trump will disavow any knowledge of Kushner. "He was a low level son-in-law. I barely knew him. I doubt I could pick him out in a crowd. He brought me covfefe every once in a while."

Who could have known that someone with absolutely no governmental experience could fuck things up so badly? Only about 65,853,516 people, that's all.

.

[malaise]

34. Bwaaaaaaaaaah hahahaha

[Hamlette]

35. Trump ruins (or exposes) everyone who comes in contact with him. I didn't think it would be Jared.

The latest was Kelly. Yes, Kelly screwed himself with the crap about Wilson and now the Civil War but prior to that I was neutral about him. I'd heard he had a decent reputation. Several million of us now think he is as bad as, or worse than Trump.

I honestly did not think he would turn on Jared. Is Ivanka next?

No sentient being would get into his orbit now. Which means 3 years of people WORSE than Jaren and Manafort.

I think he can go lower (the Vanity Fair article quotes someone as saying his approval number are at 33% and you can't go lower than that. I want 27%. I want him lower than Cheney)

[Gothmog]

36. Only an idiot would have fire Comey

[MineralMan]

37. Headline: Trump disses "No-Good Son-in-Law"

[oasis]

39. "Mr. Fixit" turned out to be "Mr. Fidget".
