The Liability of Trump By Charles Taylor (Florida)
A recent poll from YouGov of 413 Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, found that 42 percent want DeSantis to be the party’s nominee two years from now, while 35 percent would prefer former president Donald Trump. This is immediate backlash from Trump’s endorsement of disastrous candidates in the mid-term elections, but really the rot was there in the Trump presidency from the beginning, with his son-in-law Jared Kushner, and his spoilt rotten daughtreer, Ivanka traking key admin roles. Their policies were pure liberal Left and neutralised everything that Trump had run on. Oddly the Democrats never complained about the clear conflict of interst in having family members in such roles, no doubt because they coiuld see the destruction tht hrey were doing. Kushner is seen as no friend ofamericaa in this article from 2018:

“it seems certain that Kushner is among the most corrupt and seditious figures ever to work in the White House. The son-in-law and top adviser to the president, the de facto U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia and would-be Middle East peacemaker, is no patriot. To the contrary, Kushner has shown nothing but contempt for the United States: violating its laws, lying to its law enforcement officials, and (possibly) selling its state policy for his own personal enrichment.
Despite criminal activity breathtaking in both scope and audacity, Kushner tends to receive preferential treatment from the media, like he’s royalty or a popular celebrity and not one of the most dangerous criminals in American history. Can it be attributed to Kushner’s cozy relationship with David Pecker, publisher of National Enquirer, Star, Sun, Weekly World News, and others? Or is it simply that Kushner generally avoids the spotlight, so his crimes are overshadowed by those of his father-in-law?”

“Team Trump noticed, and Jared Kushner, of all people, was out early to complain. If you recall, it was Kushner who worked against the Border Wall and other Trumpian policies, to the fury of conservatives like Ann Coulter. It was Kushner who pushed out Steve Bannon and his allies in the White House and brought in so many D.C. lifers, like the generals — Kelly, McMaster, and Mattis — who hated Trump.
And it was Kushner who took over COVID policy (Mike Pence was just a figurehead) and empowered Fauci and Birx to run the response to the pandemic. Scott Atlas was finally brought in to do some real science; then he was also terminated by Jared.
Apparently, things were so bad in late 2020 that Peter Navarro led a "coup" to get Kushner fired, but Jared and Ivanka simply ignored Trump's request to leave.
So who is this all-powerful son-in-law, anyway? It's important to understand that Kushner's influence is not just from the fact that Trump adores Ivanka and will give her just about anything she asks. He is deeply indebted to Jared himself. After Trump's near-business-death experiences, it was Jared, the scion of the billionaire Kushner family, who came to his rescue.
Having burned his old lenders with Atlantic City casinos and the Plaza Hotel deal, Trump was able to get a lifeline at the Deutsche Bank to build his Chicago hotel project, but he soon defaulted there also and wound up in litigation in 2011.
But coming to the rescue were the new son-in-law and Jared's buddy in another division of Deutsche Bank, Rosemary Vrablic. Trump then got all the refinancing he needed to stay afloat and keep going.
It turned out that Vrablic was a bit too close to the Kushners, and she was later herself fired by the bank when it came out she was doing real estate deals with them on the side. No matter.
And again, it was Kushner and his friends — Steve Roth of Vornado Realty and a tiny bank in San Diego — who just recently arranged sales and refinancing of the lion's share of troubled Trump properties, leaving The Donald sitting pretty, with a mountain of cash. So, in any contest for influence inside Team Trump, there can only be one winner: Jared. He has the keys to the mint — the trust of powerful lenders Trump can't live without.
Kushner and his family have had their own financial problems, namely 666 5th Ave., the massive NYC office tower that threatened to ruin them. After Trump was elected president, Jared took over the Middle East desk for Trump, and suddenly the Kushner family entreaties to Qatar's sovereign wealth fund to buy 666 off their hands were no longer ignored. A lot of suspicious people think Jared got his friends in Saudi Arabia to lighten up their sanctions on Qatar, and as a reward, Qatar's Brookfield Properties bailed them out. Democrats have long been investigating the deal, but I doubt they even know where to begin.
After Jared returned to the private sector, he also formed a venture firm, like Hunter Biden, with no previous experience. But he did manage to get $2 billion from the Saudis — the same Saudi fund, in fact, investing in LIV Golf, which is working with Trump golf courses and now has a pay-for-play deal with Fox Sports. Democrats were also investigating all this.
The latest Kushner mess may even be the juiciest of all. Jared's droopy little brother, Joshua (married to supermodel Karlie Kloss) is at the center of what Kanye West says was the ripping off his share in ex-wife Kim Kardashian's underwear line. With West's money and career going down like MC Hammer, he will have a lot of time on his hands the next few years to complain about the Kushner family.
While the Democrats have until now never been able to land a punch on Trump's son-in-law, someone with more savvy and political know-how might — say, the Governor of Florida. DeSantis wouldn't even have to say anything bad about Trump himself. Just pummel Jared for the rotten job he did on the campaign, running the White House, the pandemic response, border security, and the continuing crime wave.
Rather than be angry, a lot of die-hard MAGA folks might even cheer him on as their bête noire got his just deserts. Mr. Trump has always had a lot of untalented courtiers, from Michael Cohen to Omarosa Manigault, whom he had no trouble dismissing. But the problem with a son-in-law is, it's not so easy to just say, "You're fired!"”
