Initially, is my guess, Jared Kushner was in IT to ensure that Princess Ivanka’s position in high society was not damaged by the antics of father Donald Trump. Jared’s own father, Charles Kushner, lost his standing in society. Son Jared could not allow the same to happen to his young family. Kushner’s psychological makeup is such that he’s exerting influence, to nudge President Trump toward mainstream positions, wherein lie acceptability and respectability.
But Kushner soon got carried away. Now he’s in the thick of the Trump Administration, allegedly at war with OUR MAN STEVE BANNON.
Had President Trump not flouted rules against nepotism, the Kushner controversy might have been averted. Via Vanity Fair:
… A 1967 law bans presidents from appointing family members to government jobs and Cabinet positions. (Shortly after his election in 1960, John Kennedy appointed his younger brother Bobby as attorney general.) And while Kushner’s proximity to the president raises all sorts of ethical questions, the more pressing curiosity is why Kushner is enduring all this tumult in the first place. Why would a mild-mannered Jewish kid from an establishment Democratic family, particularly one who enjoys a charmed life in Manhattan, defy what would seem to be his interests, his scruples, and his easy existence? …
Alarming indeed.

Kushner couple Holding court.
Unbelievable: A vain, silly couple, #JaredKushner & #Ivanka, holding court, while a serious intellect like #SteveBannon is humiliated. https://t.co/RvSW63Di7L

Humanitarian wars bring society women together. Sick.
Lovely humanitarian war in #Syria brings #Ivanka's dad and #Chelsea's mom closer. Touching. https://t.co/SKdXhWGkA3 https://t.co/oqUI4bjF8u

If true, why is Trump letting this woman run wild?
I knew it. Prissy miss "force for good," #Ivanka, can't risk #SteveBannon sullying her image & social acceptability of her family. https://t.co/Gql9AYPT9j

I chose #TulsiGabbard, https://t.co/wwhSPFQmpT, to play a role in admin. #Trump chose dim #NikkiHaley & I-want-to-make-a-difference #Ivanka https://t.co/ddwo6JZbLU

More than we bargained for in Jared?
#JaredKushner 'at the war in Iraq': https://t.co/3uDd5KSfNf. Sorry to say, but #Jared's low T & looks like he's transitioning. We?#LGBTQ.
— Ilana Mercer (@IlanaMercer) April 7, 2017
The orientation I care about is no wars for naught.
To clarify, We?#LGBTQ so long as they come in peace. No war in Syria, #JaredKushner.https://t.co/0SPsOJmPhH

Once again, America's "Best/Brightest" have tied the fate of this great nation to the tails of warring Islamic tribes.

Launching missiles is a good way to make sure that no independent investigation of the chemical attack can occur.

Demoting the Don.
So, Steve Bannon gets demoted in order to return the NSC to the control of the military professionals … & reckless insanity breaks out.

Show me the evidence, but even that doesn’t justify war according to War Powers doctrine and Constitution:
I mean, where's the evidence #Assad gassed The Kids? What's in it for him? Being butchered on-camera like #Qaddafi was by #Hillary forces?

A new deadly troika:
#SamanthaPower, #SusanRice & #Hillary destroyed #Libya. Looks like #JaredKushner, #Ivanka & idiot #NikkiHaley will finish the job in #Syria.
