Where Is Jared Kushner?

"Building a Wall of Ignorance"

[to the end]

But for Kushner, the campaign was less a political journey than an emotional one. His family had felt the lash of disdain after his father was sent to prison years earlier, and he was intent on redemption, revenge or something along those lines. Trump represented a road to a summit from which his son-in-law could lord it over the elitists who had looked down on him.

Maybe he didn’t register all the ugly swerves along the way. Maybe he convinced himself that they weren’t so ugly. Maybe he believed that he’d be able to grab the wheel and correct the course. Maybe he still tells himself that, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

Sometimes I study him and see someone drained of color, even thinner than before, haunted. More often I see an emblem of our morally compromised capital, full of people willing to let the Trump juggernaut flatten essential American values just as long as they get to go along for the ride.

Trump Is Throwing Tantrums And Humiliating Himself When Confronted By World Leaders

By Jason Easley on Thu, Feb 2nd, 2017 at 5:58 pm

It is being reported from inside the government, that Donald Trump is throwing tantrums during calls with world leaders when he is confronted about his policies.

Video of CNN reporting on Trump’s tantrum reaction:

While reporting on Trump’s stormy phone calls with world leaders, CNN’s Jake Tapper said, “A government official familiar with the call says President’s Trump’s interactions with foreign leaders have been,’at this stage naive. In that, he keeps suggesting that we will have the best relationship ever with a broad departure of countries, but there is no substance to back it up. When he encounters a policy challenge, like with Turnbull, he responds with a tantrum.”

An official of the United States government described the Commander In Chief as having tantrums when world leaders confront him on policy. Trump behavior is humiliating the US in front of the entire world with his behavior.

Trump isn’t only a national disgrace. It is a safe guess that he is turning the world’s only superpower into a laughingstock in the eyes of the rest of the world.

President Trump has no idea how to govern, and clearly no concept of diplomacy or give and take.

The behavior described by the government official is embarrassing and not appropriate for the President Of The United States.
