Kushner skiing as health care bill floundered


Story highlights

Aides in Washington toiled all week trying to get the health care reform bill over the finish line
But Jared Kushner, the President's adviser and son-in-law, was out West skiing

Washington (CNN)While the rest of his senior staff scrambled to squeeze votes for President Trump's flailing health care package, one person remained notably absent for most of the week: Jared Kushner.




Along with this wife, Ivanka Trump, another key cog in the president's inner circle, Kushner was on vacation until Thursday, skiing with family in the posh Colorado town of Aspen. Paparazzi caught Jared and Ivanka taking leisurely strolls, enjoying ice cream cones with their three kids and winding their way down the slopes.




Meanwhile, back in Washington, Trump was fuming. According to a source close to the president, "[Trump] is upset that his son-in-law and senior adviser was not around during this crucial week." Kushner did appear at the White House on Friday during the last gasps of the Obamacare repeal effort................................

1. If he works for Dolt 45*, why didn't he tell little Jared that he was needed on the job?

Is he too wimpy to tell him to stay at work?

2. Maybe if Trump had stayed in D.C. instead of playing golf and going to Mar-A-Lago all those

times, he could have done this without Kushner.

Besides, how much could Kushner have contributed? He only has a common law degree and no experience in pubic service or government.

3. A$$ kissing and other "moral" support.

4. So 45 can't do "presidenting" alone? He needs Jared and Ivanka to do it for him?

Did we elect them?
