Kushner says Trump tasked Ivanka with setting up meeting with Hillary Clinton after her defeat

Jared Kushner says former President Trump instructed his daughter, Ivanka Trump, to set up a meeting with Hillary Clinton following his political foe’s 2016 election loss in an attempt to develop a “cordial relationship.”

His father-in-law, Kushner writes in his memoir, “Breaking History,” obtained by ITK and poised to be released on Tuesday, “genuinely wanted to help the country unite” in the days before he entered the White House.

According to Kushner, who served as a senior White House adviser under Trump, the then-soon-to-be 45th president tasked Ivanka Trump with calling her once-friend, Chelsea Clinton, to coordinate a get-together with Hillary and Bill Clinton.

-snip-

“Ivanka did call Chelsea,” Kushner says in his book, “but days later Hillary backed [Green Party presidential nominee] Jill Stein’s challenge to the election, and Trump ended his outreach.”

Then try to reel them back in with faux cordiality. It's weird but I've seen. Then the abusiveness starts over again when the Narc feels like it. Which is why when you separate yourself from a narcissist, it is best to stay far away. Don't get friendly again. I had to do it with an employer who was an entrepreneur and built a business from nothing, but also by walking over a lot of people. Sound familiar? I had seen several people she got at odds with leave, it was always a mess, and then come back after a period. I decided from that if when I left I wouldn't be entertaining any feelers to come back. It was weird to how and from whom the little offers to come back came from. She had a whole set of lackeys doing that who I had never realized that was one of their functions for her. It's just a constant manipulation for these type of people.

That whole Trump "genuinely wanted to help the country unite" is a dead giveaway.

If you believe this, I have some classic spans to sell you

IIRC, the incoming Trump administration did next to nothing when it came to working with Obama's people to ensure an orderly transition.

Hypocrisy much? I seem to recall Donnie and his people filing numerous lawsuits to throw out votes, tried to pressure at least one governor and secretary of state into throwing out or creating votes, and urged his followers to disrupt the ceremonial certification of the electoral ballots.

I'm starting to think that Slenderman lies so much that he's no longer sure what his name is.

They can't seem to do the simplest things. If it weren't for their trust funds, they'd be nowhere.

Because the one thing Donald Trump is known for is his outreach toward opponents and his genuine desire to promote cordial relations.

My BS meter is shrieking.

was initiated by Ivanka to make connections with politically influential people and keep eyes and ears open for information that could be exploited.
