Jared Kushner Calls Kim Jong-un Totally Unqualified Person Who Got Job Only Through Nepotism
By Andy Borowitz 07:03 P.M.
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)Offering a stunningly blunt appraisal of the North Korean leader, Jared Kushner said on Tuesday that Kim Jong-un was a totally unqualified person who attained his position of power only through nepotism.
Here you have a guy who has no government experience, and hes in charge of the whole thing, Kushner said, in an interview with Fox News. Its the craziest thing Ive ever heard of.
Kushner noted that, instead of working his way up and acquiring the skills necessary to do his job, the North Korean leader had been given huge responsibilities and power only because of family connections.
Theres only one word for that, he said. Nepotism.
Kushner called the notion of such an unqualified person conducting foreign policy beyond belief.
I mean, why would you let someone with no experience in foreign affairs anywhere near such important decisions? Kushner added. Why would anyone take someone like that seriously?
Kushner said that the people of North Korea must look at the powerful position attained by the totally inexperienced and unqualified Kim and shake their heads. Theyve got to be asking themselves, Who elected him? he said.

(58,785 posts)Rump on Kim Jong Un AFTER Chinese President Xi tried to educate him on NK 101:
Jong Un only took over his dad's position in 2011 when he was 27, of course. President Clinton negotiated with his grandfather -- another of the vague "gentlemen" who don't exist even as names for Rump.
Somehow I doubt this surprises President Xi.
