Ivanka Trump's Post About Husband Jared Kushner Has People Saying, Hmm

[Tom of Temecula]

Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner drew ridicule on Sunday after former President Donald Trump’s daughter shared audio to X (formerly Twitter) of Kushner promoting a go-getter attitude to podcaster Lex Fridman. “I just think it’s just something where, if you want to accomplish something, you know, a lot of people, I hear, complain about what other people do or why it’s hard, or why it’s impossible,” Kushner told Fridman in the clip, which was recorded in October 2023.

“And again, I say this as somebody who has been so blessed with so many things in life, but when I’ve had challenges or things I’ve wanted to achieve, I just focus and say, ‘What can I do?’” Donald Trump’s son-in-law continued. “I’ll read everything I can get my hands on. If I fail at one thing, if the door closes, I’ll try the window. If the window closes, I’ll try the chimney. If the chimney closes, I’ll try to dig a tunnel. It’s just, if you want to accomplish something, you just have to go at it.”

Ivanka Trump claimed to have “received a remarkable number of gracious compliments” on her husband’s comments. She didn’t allow comments on the post, however. “I personally love this clip as it reveals the determined optimist who firmly believes that there’s always a solution if you’re willing to try enough paths. I love this about Jared… and it’s a good reminder as we start the new year!” she added.

Critics on social media, though, were quick to point out the wealth that Kushner was born into. Kushner and Ivanka Trump did not take paychecks when serving as White House advisers to Donald Trump, but they did coin in between $172 million and $640 million in outside income. In April 2022, a Saudi sovereign wealth fund led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly invested $2 billion in Kushner’s Affinity Partners fund.

[Walleye]

1. They didn't take paychecks because they wanted to get around the nepotism law

I’m sure they had an office a full staff and all of the electronic equipment though

[Tanuki]

8. They also received high security clearances for which they

had been deemed unqualified. I'm sure those clearances and the intelligence to which they enabled access proved to be priceless.

[Walleye]

16. Yep. I'm sure they're still raking in tons of money because of it

[lame54]

17. Was it ever confirmed they didn't take paychecks?...

Trump claimed the same thing. I can't see them turning down ANY money

[Walleye]

18. You are right not to believe a word they say

[Emile]

25. Never was confirmed.

[coprolite]

49. Dont worry, they made out like bandits

I'm sure being able to write off their donated salaries gave them a Huge tax write off when it came time to submit their taxes.

[lame54]

50. I'm sure they did that...

While actual collecting their paychecks

[marble falls]

60. Even if they didn't, they still walked out with up to $400M, and then the Saudis laid $2B on 'em "to invest".

[BonnieJW]

41. I can't believe

that he and his little woman don't just sit down and shut up. I'm sure they've both broken many laws, so why go on shows and post on social media and draw attention?

[calimary]

44. Because they're confident that nothing bad will happen to them

because there never are any consequences for a trump to face. They evidently see themselves as some kind of “American royalty”.

Besides, I suspect there’s also that old saying “if you’ve got it, flaunt it” in operation here.

[no_hypocrisy]

2. Members of the faculty, administration, and alumni of his yeshiva

couldn't believe that Jared "got into" Harvard with his mediocre grades. IOW, there were graduates with a better, much better, GPA than Jared who were not admitted to Harvard.

His father's donation leveled the playing field.

As far as Jared's tenacity and determination to confront conflicts, please note that while he has a JD, he is not admitted to practice law in any jurisdiction.

[niyad]

27. Well, of course he didn't take the bar. He was too busy taking over the family

firm when daddy went to prison.

[patphil]

48. Money is the best way of filling out the application form for colleges like Harvard.

The heft of a large donation easily outweighs all other factors.

[Irish_Dem]

3. If you work hard enough you can get the Saudis to send $2 billion to your bank account.

For no reason that makes any sense.

[calimary]

46. Just greasing the skids, I suspect.

[Irish_Dem]

57. 100% certain the Saudi's expected something in return.

[calimary]

62. Yep. I wouldn't be a bit surprised.

[Irish_Dem]

64. It must have been a huge quid pro quo given the very large sum of money.

[3Hotdogs]

4. Fuck me. Complain about him all you want.

But he brought peace to the Middle East, didn't he?

[BlueMTexpat]

37. As is demonstrated

on an hourly basis ...

[Voltaire2]

52. Series?

[Irish_Dem]

5. Criminals who brag about their crimes.

They have no shame whatsoever.

[digsub]

6. Could've negotiated the Civil War (nt)

[onethatcares]

7. but what's he gonna do

after his daddy in law builds "The DOME"?


“And again, I say this as somebody who has been so blessed with so many things in life, but when I’ve had challenges or things I’ve wanted to achieve, I just focus and say, ‘What can I do?’” Donald Trump’s son-in-law continued. “I’ll read everything I can get my hands on. If I fail at one thing, if the door closes, I’ll try the window. If the window closes, I’ll try the chimney. If the chimney closes, I’ll try to dig a tunnel. It’s just, if you want to accomplish something, you just have to go at it.”

This story line has more turns than a pigs tail at this point

[Freethinker65]

9. If I don't qualify for a security clearance after trying a few times, I ask my father in law!!!

In turn, I was smart enough to use access to that highly classified government information and the connections it gave me, to become amazingly successful.

I just do not understand all of these people without ambition, expecting something for nothing!

Daddy's over a million dollar donation to Harvard when I was an average to mediocre student in High School, had nothing to with me getting accepted. It was all because of my perseverance and knowledge to let someone else handle the application process.

And don't forget, without my speed reading and keen use of the internet, which I had spent literally hours on watching YouTube videos and doing Twitter (before it was X !) searches, I single handedly brought permanent lasting peace to the Middle East. Such an easy problem to solve if you use your wits.

[jaxexpat]

11. He used the "dig a tunnel" option in dealing with Gaza.

[underpants]

34. Yeah that was very telling

In order to maintain commerce he suggested not a dedicated rail/secure road between the West Bank and Gaza but a tunnel. The message was clear - they don’t even want to have to SEE the Palestinians.

[jaxexpat]

39. What's a Palestinian?

[calimary]

47. And nobody can see where you are or what you're up to, in a tunnel.

[rubbersole]

43. All the tunnels he has imagined digging in life...

...wouldn't be able to hold all this bullshit. I'll believe in the 'Justice' Department when these 2 traitors are in prison for life.

[tanyev]

10. I just looked around my office in the White House and thought, "What can I monetize?"

[sop]

12. As a notorious slumlord, Jared knows a thing or two about stuck doors and windows that won't open after

clogged chimneys start fires. Perhaps he'll dig tunnels under his buildings so tenants can escape the blaze?

[True Blue American]

13. Is Ivanka trying to out do Daddy on the lies?

[surfered]

14. Ah yes, pull yourselves up..

…by your silver spoon bootstraps .

[Joinfortmill]

15. They're never going to be accepted into 'polite' society or any society. Better to lay low and shut the f*ck up.

[Ford_Prefect]

19. They have more than enough money to buy whatever friends they want to have.

[Joinfortmill]

40. Maybe...

[Ford_Prefect]

56. from 3 years ago, DECEMBER 1, 2021. I believe that 2 billion invested helps smooth many ruffles.

What may unseat them further will be the evidence and results of the NY Fraud trial.

[Joinfortmill]

58. Ok. We disagree.

[Ford_Prefect]

59. It is clear that some of their fashionable "friends" won't associate with them. I agree that they won't be welcome in

some circles, at least for a while. Certainly they don't comprehend why.

IMO They are far too wealthy to be completely ignored, unless they are prominent on Epstein's list, become specifically infamous for the Saudi deal, or some similar activity. My point is that kind of money has ways of opening doors. IMO Davanka aren't smart enough to herd dust-bunnies. But fashion, huge amounts of money, and Rich idiots seem to have a way of getting together.

[Farmer-Rick]

20. Yeah, the biggest indicators that a person will succeed

Is if they are born white, male and to a rich family. The richer the family you are born into, the more amazing will be your self-earned success.

All that wealth and luck to be born into the group in power, has nothing to do with all that amazing success.

A lie told by every person to have ever inherited excess wealth.

[Kid Berwyn]

21. "That and the $2 Billion Prince Bonesaw sent."

“We’re set!”

[Emile]

22. Unbelievable, do they really believe the shit they spew?

[kairos12]

23. Gab from a grifter. Should be the name of the piece.

[niyad]

24. princess sparkle pony has been blessedly silent recently. Something is

definitely up. Trying to rehab his image? Oh, look, plastic ken doll trying to look casual, common!

Oh well, I didn't need breakfast this morning anyway.

[Swede]

26. If a door is closed, try a storage room at Mar a Lago

nt

[jcgoldie]

28. If digging a tunnel doesn't work...

...sell US state secrets gleamed from your douchebag father in law to the Saudis for a a couple $billion... Jared is very resourceful!

[Hotler]

29. Kevin Sorbo needs to listen to Jared. nt

[marble falls]

30. I remember the one delusion I had after TFG was elected, 'the smart one will be able to talk sense to him." ...

... I didn't realize how low the bar was for 'the smart one was' in the TFG family. I still kick myself for that. She is one oblivious person.

[dalton99a]

53. +1. Ivanka's "moderating influence" will save us

Even though she has no government or policy experience, she plans to review some executive orders before they are signed, according to White House officials; some earlier orders had set off a firestorm. She calls cabinet officials on issues she is interested in, recently asking the United Nations ambassador, Nikki R. Haley, about getting humanitarian aid into Syria. She set up a weekly meeting with Steven Mnuchin, the Treasury secretary.

In interviews last week, she said she intended to act as a moderating force in an administration swept into office by nationalist sentiment. Other officials added that she had weighed in on topics including climate, deportation, education and refugee policy.

[Chainfire]

31. Continuing that thought...

If I fail at one thing, if the door closes, I’ll try the window. If the window closes, I’ll try the chimney. If the chimney closes, I’ll try to dig a tunnel. It’s just, if you want to accomplish something, you just have to go at it and if rules, ethics, morals or laws get in the way, I just go around them."

[Chainfire]

32. A real super-hero, that one...What office is he running for?

[tavernier]

35. The office of

Chief procurer of top secret documents from American government. Also known as T.R.A.I.T.O.R.

[Eugene]

33. As Jared put it earlier, you folks just need to try harder.

[Chainfire]

38. He left out the silver spoon part...

[hay rick]

36. Digging a tunnel out of my hovel as we speak.

Good things happen to people who good things happened to.

So inspiring.

[catbyte]

42. ...

[rubbersole]

45. Jared gave all the US intelligence on the Saudi royal family...

..to Mohammed Bin Bonesaw right before his palace coup. Probably anything else he requested. $2bil was probably pennies on the dollar for what they received.

[brush]

55. Great questions. Great post. 2 billion for what?

[Aristus]

51. The things you can accomplish when you have grit, determination, and

a huge inheritance.



Another nepo asshole who was born on third base, and thought he hit a triple.

[MagickMuffin]

54. Does this imply Jared found his back door to Russia's Putin?

By Jared’s own admission he’ll do ANYTHING to obtain power and wealth.

[Skittles]

61. you cannot help being a nepo baby

but it's wrong to then act as if you were never given any advantages - too often these assholes like to believe they did it all on their own

these two pieces of shit have NEVER once in their life had to worry about money - can you even IMAGINE how that feels

[PCIntern]

63. Lucky sperm club member, born on third base

says what?

He’s the kind of guy who used to get beaten up after Hebrew School.
