I don't care how much money he has ... this guy has "loser" written all over him.

Jared Kushner is emerging as the smoothest, slickest operator in the Court of King Donald. He is also, by far, the busiest — and the hardest to fire.
President Trump is apparently convinced that his son-in-law, who serves officially as a senior adviser, can fix anything. Make that everything: In less than three months, Trump has given Kushner, 36, the following assignments:
• Reinvent the federal government, one of the biggest and most complex organizations in the world. As head of the “White House Office of American Innovation,” Kushner is supposed to bring the mindset and practices of the business world to the public sector. Given that his father went to jail for crimes including tax evasion, and that his boss declared four business bankruptcies, we can only hope Kushner looks far afield for role models.
• Resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The greatest diplomatic minds of the century all failed at this Sisyphean task, but at least Trump gave Kushner instructions. Asked about a two-state solution, Trump said: “I am looking at two-state, and one-state, and I like the one that both parties like.” That must be what negotiators call latitude.

• Assess how the fight against the Islamic State is going. Kushner landed in Iraq Monday along with Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to get a firsthand look at the situation. “The more appreciation you could have for what’s actually happening on the ground, the more informed you are when you start talking about the strategic issues,” Dunford said.

His motives may be Ok but his political judgment may be deficient. He dines with upper circles of liberals in Manhattan and with globalists. He's also bringing in Gary Cohn which is a very big red flag.
Trump is not a puppet. He was elected to REPRESENT. And be a leader. He is leading. Get behind or get out of his way.
This so called influence seems to be pushing Trump right based on all the actions that Trump can do himself on immigration, trade, economy and Supreme Court.
“He dines with upper circles of liberals in Manhattan... “
Being a poor welfare sucker eating dirt does not make one more patriotic than fine dining in Manhattan. Why the class warfare?
Trump should dump him.
Here’s the full list of the tasks that Kushner is charged with:
• Reinvent the federal government, one of the biggest and most complex organizations in the world. As head of the “White House Office of American Innovation,” Kushner is supposed to bring the mindset and practices of the business world to the public sector. Given that his father went to jail for crimes including tax evasion, and that his boss declared four business bankruptcies, we can only hope Kushner looks far afield for role models.
• Resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The greatest diplomatic minds of the century all failed at this Sisyphean task, but at least Trump gave Kushner instructions. Asked about a two-state solution, Trump said: “I am looking at two-state, and one-state, and I like the one that both parties like.” That must be what negotiators call latitude.
• Manage the U.S. relationship with Mexico, a nation Trump repeatedly maligned during his campaign. Trump still claims Mexico will pay for the wall he promises to erect along the border. Those who want to see some hideous, unnecessary barrier actually built should wish Kushner good luck with that.
• Manage the U.S. relationship with China, another nation Trump has repeatedly maligned. The president continues to insist that China keeps the value of its currency artificially low, to boost exports, but presently that is not the case. If anything, the Chinese government is propping up the yuan. I’m sure President Xi Jinping will understand when Kushner explains the discrepancy.
• Assess how the fight against the Islamic State is going. Kushner landed in Iraq Monday along with Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to get a firsthand look at the situation. “The more appreciation you could have for what’s actually happening on the ground, the more informed you are when you start talking about the strategic issues,” Dunford said.
The above is too important for a neophyte. I think the President has gone too far here but on the other hand, the President fired his own brother at one time. So he may be giving huge responsibilities to Kushner to see if Kushner can handle it. We want to think the President is in control and I believe he is. But the latest foray into Syria is not helpful to draining the swamp. It may have been a rush to judgment, it may have been a false flag. OTOH it may not be any of these.
Roger Stone is saying this who’s more libertarian and a conspiracy theorist, and then Mark Levin is also saying this about Kushner.
Ping to Rummychick.
Yep. Trump is in control of border matters.
Some folks here at FR seem to over think things. Trump gets information from many sources. Having Jared along with general Dunfird insures that Trump doesn’t get a one sided view
The pearl clutches seem to think Trump is easily manipulated. IF that were true he would have never been in a position to be elected President
Let things develop. Initial reactions may be dead wrong
I don't care how much money he has ... this guy has "loser" written all over him.
Exactly
The pearl clutches have gotten real silly
Lets consider who wrote this, Eugene Robinson, Inside the Beltway Liberal and regular on “Morning Joe”. Grains of salt here.
Because they have nothing else
Why the class warfare?
That class warfare goes both ways.
Because of the insulation. I have dined with the very highest of those circles. I’ve also sat in offices with historical flag ranking officers.
It’s not class warfare. It’s the lack of exposure to the Salt of the Earth, the rank and file that elected Donald Trump. It’s the observation that Kushner is not on the same page, has not proven himself, is out of tune with the movement.
Compare Kushner with Don Jr. Huge difference. Don Jr. has our respect. Jared has yet to prove himself.
“Trump should dump him.”
I am beginning to have the same feeling. Ditto for Ivanka. She is definitely NOT a conservative.
Trump is not a puppet. He was elected to REPRESENT. And be a leader. He is leading. Get behind or get out of his way.

Ditto. I’m sick of all the “sky is falling” types here who seem more than anxious to jump off the Trump Train because, after all, THEY know better than he does.
There is no way a liberal can understand the way Trump works or what is going on in the WH.
Hell, it's hard enough for good conservatives on FR to get Trump.
Trump has a long established practice of having on staff people of different and opposing ideas and styles. Trump likes a degree of chaos and intramural struggle among his staff.
That's why all this fretting about who is winning and who will be fired is unnecessary.
