    Joke's on stupid Kushner who doesn't realize his father-in-law is an Anti-Semite.

    One day you're harassing tenants out of their East Village tenements, the next you're in the White House calling shots. What a world.

    On MSNBC -- Jared Kushner was just described as being mild mannered and not very bright, I think the words that were used we "he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer." The writer from Vanity Fair said his grades in school weren't very good, so his father basically made some big donation so he could get his kid into Harvard. And this guy is our next President's right hand man? No wonder his tenants In the West Village were just recently complaining about the dangerous and shoddy conditions, with floods and illegal electrical wiring so bad they had to move out, He can't even manage a 4 story walkup.

    They also said on MSNBC that Trump will probably give a pardon to Jared Kushners father Charles, who served jail time and is a convicted felon. As a result, Charles Kushner lost his law license in three states. Giving out such a pardon is a conflict of interest, since Jared is his son in law, and Charles is grandfather to three of Trump's grandchildren, but what do you expect? It's Trumps world, we just live in it until he can evict us.
