In reply to the discussion: Jared Kushner is f*cking furious about reduced role and has lost 7 lbs since Inauguration Day [View all]Dark n Stormy Knight
(10,484 posts)19. Have you read this New York Mag piece on him?
I thought I would need to explain to the business community what a Trump presidency means, Kushner began. But the markets seem to have figured it out. He told the audience about his own process of figuring out Trumps appeal, saying that he had once lived in a bubble on the Upper East Side. He thought about immigration in terms of Silicon Valleys needs, about education the way Robin Hood Foundation philanthropists did, about climate change in terms of carbon emissions, not mining jobs.
Then, about a year ago, Kushner said, he had started traveling the country with Trump, going to rallies where thousands of ordinary Americans shouted in fury about government regulations and the Common Core curriculum. (And torturing terrorists and locking up his opponent, though Kushner didnt mention those lines.) The gilded scales fell from his eyes.

As if people not willing to stoop to the level of a cretin like Trump don't have valid concerns? So, what would have happened if he had listened to other "ordinary Americans" with different concerns?
