Everything Trump Touches Dies, Jared Edition




After demagogue and lying seditionist Donald "Mango Mussolini" Trump's Götterdämmerung performance on January 6, unleashing a deadly mob of his domestic terrorists on the Capitol, it appears that young master Jared "Mr. Ivanka Trump" Kushner has finally had it with his deranged father-in-law. While Trump has been huddled at his Merde-o-Lardo compound with his loser political hacks plotting a return from exile, Kushner has been absent from his past role as a pivotal advisor to Trump. The separation is apparently a mutual decision, per CNN:

"Some who have been in contact with Kushner place it at the feet of being done with his father-in-law's antics. Sources closer to Trump say he's angry with his son-in-law over the election loss.

That Kushner has now developed anathema to his father-in-law's political appetite is questionable in its timing, an indicator that Kushner again is putting space between his image and Trump's, in the wake of the delusional flow of falsehoods after Election Day and the deadly Trump-incited insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6.

Yet several people told CNN that Kushner is truly -- this time -- effectively done with Trump's rhetoric." (our emphasis)

Yes, now that master Jared has to put together whatever scam he and his shady wife decide on, he's done with Dear Leader whose seditionist message scares Wall Street and investors. It didn't bother him in the five years preceding the insurrection when he happily shilled for Trump's worst policies. Here's Trump's reported view of the split:

"Two of the people who spoke to CNN say Kushner's relationship with Trump, son-in-law or no, has been fractured since Trump's reelection loss.

Trump, they say, has at times in the last several weeks expressed to those close to him that he faults Kushner for losing." (our emphasis)

True to form, he blames master Jared for his election loss (although you won't hear "election loss" from Trump in public). This break must put Princess Ivanka in a tough position: who to side with, daddy or hubby? That's a story soap opera for another day.
