"SNIP....

White House senior advisor Jared Kushner’s “misjudgment” on Saudi Arabia has incensed his father-in-law, The Washington Post reported Saturday evening.

“Trump had told reporters Friday that the Saudi explanation was credible, but U.S. officials said he has privately grimaced that his son-in-law Jared Kushner’s close relationship with the crown prince has become a liability and left the White House with no good options,” The Post explained. “In the interview, Trump defended Kushner as doing a ‘very good job’ but acknowledged that he and the crown prince, both in their 30s, are relatively young for the amount of power they wield.”

“One U.S. official expressed dismay that Kushner’s close relationship with the crown prince was not enough to provide guardrails against the killing and now leaves the administration vulnerable to criticism that the United States is beholden to the Saudis,” The Post noted. “The official said Trump is annoyed by a sense that he was blindsided and by what he sees as Kushner’s misjudgment.

And that Kushner and the Murdering piece of shit are young. (So that means they didn't know better?)

Trump felt blindsided? By what? He bragged about Kushner's relationship with the murdering piece of shit in regards to the middle east.

this story is accurate, that Trump is indeed annoyed at Jared on this issue, people ought to be pressuring the f--k out of this. Here is a wedge. Hammer the s--t out of it.

Day after day, week after week. MBS killed this guy. Trump cozied up to MBS. Jared told Trump to do so. Trump condones murder for money. Confront him with it. Every day. Every appearance. Question after question. Repeat the question after each denial. Hammer, hammer, hammer.

Send him home and find someone with experience dealing with the Middle East. And what about the 30+ ambassadors yet to be chosen after nearly 2 years?? I'm sure that previous administrations would have suggestions.

How much power DOES Kushner have??

How is he wielding that power?

Who is responsible for oversight of Kushner?

Trump would rather spend time on the golf course so he sends this kid who dabbles in real estate to develop U.S. policy all over the world?? And now he's annoyed because he screwed up?? Shouldn't he be removed from any post - which sounds like it's unofficial! - before he can do anymore damage and also to send a message - both to the Saudis and the alarmed American people??

A POTUS is supposed to not only advocate on behalf of the American people, but also to inform and reassure us during perilous times. No "Fireside Chats" from this self absorbed grifter!

It will be interesting to see if it develops into a full on stench. As another poster said, a narcissist, like the squatter in the WH, will always blame someone else for his mistakes, including on a dipshit like Kushner, even though he appointed him (Kushner). BTW, what is his official position?! Not to give the POS in the WH the benefit of the doubt, but this article seems to be a "hit piece" geared more toward his supporters than actual news. This allows those cultists for the Fool in the WH a person to blame other than their "Dear Asshole." His very far-right supporters already hate Kushner because he is a Jew and defiling a white woman, but this type of "news" could push some others on over, just look at the political ads attacking Soros.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the long run.

With he and his wife are being brought to justice who'll start talking to Mueller first , and how many in the family will turn on him knowing he'll throw them all under the bus to save himself first. I suspect they can't trust him , and he can't trust them, and all for good reasons. Jared is already going to prison when all is said and done, and others will be joining him, and this with the Saudi prince will become a major problem for him and trump. They know he ordered the killing. When they claim something false its almost always the opposite of the truth. Intel should have that information, and told them. It'll come out.
