What's with Jared Kushner? He has a stony face. No emotion for the most part.

When they show him at a meeting all I ever see is a stone face. Like he's not even "in" there.

Better for some to think you a fool than to speak and make them know it.

He's as clueless as Tillerson, who is suffering under the very same weight.

I can't imagine being a young trust fund real estate wheeler dealer thrown into this kind of monumental job.

It doesn't help that he has no real legal standing.

He has no idea what he's doing or trying to do. I see his stone-faced look as someone who's trying to hide his incompetence.

Probably has more testosterone than he does. It's so fucking sad, how he's trying to get back at America for putting his dirtbag daddy in jail. He was raised on stolen money. Thievery and organized crime is all he knows.

There's nothing in Kushner's head. Nothing.

Aside from being disastrously unqualified to hold any position, much less Senior Advisor (why lord why), he is simply empty.

The question in my mind is how a group so ignorant, so unprepared, could win the White House unaided.

I think the answers is that it would be impossible.

You can't actually tell any of what is claimed in this thread. Some of us, particularly the introverted, tend to not show the world our emotions.

A person's countenance, especially that of a relative stranger, is a very unfair and unreliable means to assess that person's character or state of mind. More than a few times I've been misjudged as being angry or unfriendly when the truth was just the opposite.

Only to realize that it was not the glamorous world of high society and riches that he thought it to be. Instead, just a loathsome madman.

But like the mafia and the Hotel California, once he's in, he can never really leave.

Sucks for him.
