More and more evidence has been discovered linking Trump’s despicable son-in-law to various nefarious activities during the campaign and after the inauguration. Jared Kushner’s name is now linked to the National Enquirer. It was he who suggested “hush money” be paid to Karen McDougal. McDougal is the former Playboy model who had an affair with Trump after his son was born.

Like his father-in-law, Kushner has been accused of illegal and immoral business practices as the head of his family’s business investments. It was Kushner who met with four high-level Russians who have close ties to Vladimir Putin during the campaign. It was Kushner who attempted to set-up ‘back channel’ communications between Trump and Putin in the Seychelles Islands. It was Kushner who consoled the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia when it was revealed that he ordered the torture and dismemberment of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.  It was Kushner who helped push John Kelly out of the White House back door.

Kushner’s position in the White House has always been under scrutiny; what his purpose is no one knows although he has been assigned multiple projects. He is woefully unqualified and inexperienced in government. The word is that he is at the top of Trump’s list for his third Chief of Staff. This actually makes sense; he will not offer advice to his master; he has none to give. He will do as he’s told; he’s a wuss. He will hide Trump’s secrets and lie for him every moment of every day; and he will never call him an “idiot;” at least not in public.

Of course, twitter exploded. Here are a few of the funnier ones, and others which are simply true

“Also, can Jared Kushner be @POTUS Chief of Staff if he can’t get beyond a medium level security clearance?

And one more question. Do we want a Chief of Staff who is in the pocket of Saudi Arabia?”

“Why stop at #ChiefOfStaff? Let JARED host the @Academyawards1 too.”

“His chief qualification is being married to the president’s daughter, which is a type of nepotism that is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes.”

“Jared Kushner as chief of staff is perfect because he’s a triple threat of sucking at management, politics, and business”

Not a single person in Trump’s circle of sinners is qualified; Kushner would fit well into Trump’s upper level advisory staff. Like the rest of them he will bow to his master fearing a verbal tirade if he considers correcting any of his many mistakes.

Personally, I think it’s a great idea. When a movie is made about the worst administration in history, with Kushner as Chief of Staff it could become a comedy instead of a very dark tragedy.
