There’s No Other Word for Kushner Visa Sale
“This is corruption, pure and simple.”
— Former Bush White House ethics lawyer Richard Painter, quoted by NBC News, on Jared Kushner’s sister promising visas to Chinese investors.
Anything But Speeches
When Trump needs something, Jared’s his standby,
From Middle East Peace to Russian elites, he’s just fly.
But when it came to speeches,
Kushner overreaches,
He said, “I’m not a f*cking speechwriter, I’m a real-estate guy!”
Mar-A-Lago Showdown
President Trump finally laid down the law:
Bannon and Kushner’s relations must thaw.
Bannon called Kush a “cuck,”
But he’s pressing his luck —
If forced to choose, Trump will back his son-in-law.
Kushner Lied to Get Security Clearance
“When Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, sought the top-secret security clearance that would give him access to some of the nation’s most closely guarded secrets, he was required to disclose all of his encounters with foreign government officials over the last seven years. … “But Mr. Kushner omitted any mention of dozens of contacts he has had with foreign leaders or officials in recent months. They include a December meeting with the Russian ambassador, Sergey I. Kislyak, and another with the head of a Russian state-owned bank, Vnesheconombank, which was arranged at the behest of Mr. Kislyak.”

Kushner Ain’t a Robert Kennedy
“Kushner hadn’t served a day on a school board before Trump put him in charge of, you know, America. Near as I can tell, his sole achievement in his young life — much like his wife’s — is to have spent his parents’ money on cool stuff, like some buildings and a once trendy newspaper you’ve never read.”

Ivanka and Jared Worth $741 Million
$741 million
“Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, President Trump’s daughter and son-in-law, will remain the beneficiaries of a sprawling real estate and investment business still worth as much as $741 million, despite their new government responsibilities, according to ethics filings released by the White House Friday night,” the New York Times reports.
Feckless and Un-Elected
To us, he seems like a bit of a bounder,
Though to his dad-in-law he’s a top advisor.
He’ll bring peace to the Middle East!
And he’ll set Russian banks unleashed!
The trouble is, nobody voted for Jared Kushner.
Kushners Get Sweet Chinese Real Estate Deal
$400 million
“A company owned by the family of Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, stands to receive more than $400 million from a prominent Chinese company that is investing in the Kushners’ marquee Manhattan office tower at 666 Fifth Ave,” Bloomberg reports. … The planned $4-billion transaction includes terms that some real estate experts consider unusually favorable for the Kushners. It provides them with both a sizable cash payout… for a property that has struggled financially and an equity stake in a new partnership.”
Cabinet of Expendables
Donald Trump doesn’t really have advisers,
Deeming himself better, sharper and wiser.
Except for Jared and Ivanka,
Who meld into JAVANKA —
Trump’s only trusted and true SUPER ADVISER.
