“Who ever imagined the world would open so many doors, to give you so many options? But really, for a bright young man who knows how things work, why not? Coronavirus medical logistics expert, Middle East peace negotiator, campaign manager, criminal justice reformer, technology implementer, government systems innovator—that was you, all of it, all you.
Now what? Reach into the pocket of your skinny suit, and get out your phone. Try sending another encrypted DM to your good friend and fellow global dignitary Mohammed bin Salman to see what’s up, what you can do for him. What? “Safety number changed.” Huh, how about that. Scroll down, try another name, maybe one of the Chinese oligarchs? Nothing there, either. The Kuwaitis? Hmm. Oh, that incoming call? That’s your mortgage lender. Good luck!"
“This is part of a series of goodbyes to Trumpworld figures. Read the rest here.”

June 1, 2020, “Tucker Carlson: “No One Has More Contempt For Donald Trump’s Voters Than Jared Kushner",” Real Clear Politics, Ian Schwartz
“From the monologue on Monday night’s [June 1] edition of Carlson’s FOX News show:
“What Americans want most is an end to this chaos. They want their cities to be saved. They want this to stop, immediately. If the president doesn’t stop it, he will lose in November. The left will blame him for the atrocities they encouraged. Many voters will agree. Donald Trump is the president. Presidents save countries. That’s why we hire them. Some key advisors around Trump don’t seem to understand the gravity of this. “No matter what happens,: they’ll tell you, “our voters aren’t going anywhere.The trailer parks are rock solid. What choice do they have? They’ve got vote for us.”
Jared Kushner, for one, has made that point out loud. No one has more contempt for Trump’s voters than Kushner does, and no one expresses it more frequently.””…
