Jared Kushner Doesn't Read And Gets Tired Of Talking About The Middle East, Joe Scarborough Says
Source: Newsweek
Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough, a conservative who once enjoyed a friendship with President Donald Trump and the first family, railed on Jared Kushner as an unthinking, uninterested simpleton on his Wednesday MSNBC broadcast.
Scarborough described moments from along the 2016 presidential campaign trail in which he said he observed the president's son-in-law and senior adviser displaying a lack of regard for international policy matters, despite his role as the president's Middle East peace envoy.
"I have spoken with him a lot, I like Jared, but any time he tried to explain the history of the Middle East, he didnt want to, he didnt want to hear it," Scarborough said Wednesday. "He said, Im tired of the talking. We dont need to read history books. Here is a guy how old is he, 34, 35? Im sure hes great in real estate and everything else, but the point is that this entire administration has shunned experts."
The segment on Kushner and First Daughter Ivanka Trump began at the 21:00 minute mark, when Scarborough described the presidents campaign last year as a "clown show" comprised of a staff "that worked in real estate or the fashion industry."

Ever other POTUS has reached out to his experienced predecessors - regardless of party - but Trump has Jared.

Washington outsiders with no political history or skillset, ready to turn the United States of America into USA, Inc., with the sole aim of improving our bottom line and to raise a fist to those who would stand in our way, including allies.
What a bunch of ignorant assholes, both voter and candidate.
