NEW: Trump considering Jared Kushner for chief of staff, @svdate reports

[unblock]

1. of course he is. what took him so long?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

2. Do it, Donald. Just do it.

You know you totally want to.

It will make the inevitable shit show for both you and your son-in-law (and various other family members and compatriots) all the more entertaining.

[spanone]

3. I guess nepotism is alright if you're don trump.

[Doodley]

4. This could be an early Christmas gift for us.

[Hassler]

5. Perfect choice--knock once on Colonel Sanders' door to let him know his food order has arrived.

Can't imagine what else his COS does.

[Mrs. Overall]

6. Can you be CoS without a security clearance?

[Loki Liesmith]

9. President has ultimate clearance authority

He can declare anyone cleared.

[EffieBlack]

7. Considering most of the WH staff hates him and the rest don't respect him

this should be pretty interesting ...

[GoCubsGo]

8. Gee. Who didn't see that coming?

[Shell_Seas]

10. No one else will take it, he's running out of options.

[Gothmog]

11. Failing upwards

12. Hope it is true

Christie or Gingrich are despicable but they have some expertise that could have helped Trump.

In terms of his legal problems or how government works, I do not think Kushner brings nearly as much to the table. From now until he leaves the Oval office, Trump will be under siege legally and without the House, having a difficult time getting much if anything done.

It's lousy for the country in terms of wasted opportunity a good president could have done something with. But with Trump, it will probably lead to more errors, fewer changes and accelerate his departure.

32. +1

13. LOL, b/c his advice has served Trump so well.

Jared told him to fire Comey, which precipitated Mueller's appointment.
Jared helped him with the Trump Tower meeting adoption excuse letter (in Don Jr's name), which was witness tampering and obstruction.
Jared told him to stand by MBS after the Khashoggi killing, now Khashoggi is Time's POTY and the evidence of MBS's involvement is so overwhelming even Congressional Repukes admit it.

Keep up the good work, Boy Wonder.

14. swirling in trumps!! uga uga

[eShirl]

15. lawnmower kid turned him down

[OhZone]

30. hahahahahah nt

[Stinky The Clown]

16. Showwahans . . . . . who will admit to not having seen THIS coming.

[DFW]

17. Why not?

I think at this point, he's been turned down by everybody in D.C. except one of the two panhandlers at 15th and F, and that's only because the guy was unconscious at the time, and couldn't respond one way or the other.

[llmart]

21. LOL!

[aeromanKC]

18. 2'fer!!

Subpoena server could get a 2'fwer with just one knock on the door!!

[Glimmer of Hope]

19. But isn't he Individual No. 4?

Proceed dotard!

[PSPS]

20. Which nickname would he get? Uday? Qusay?

[llmart]

22. OMG...

this shit show just keeps getting worse and worse by the day.

[smirkymonkey]

23. So I guess that means the kid mowing the White House lawn declined the offer?

[ecstatic]

24. What about Melania? Did she turn him down too?

[lpbk2713]

25. It's either him ...

or the next pizza guy to deliver to the White House.

[GWC58]

26. And, in a surprise move, it's

Mr. Kushner........’s wife Ivanka! 🥴🤪😳😵

[Blue_true]

27. Well, at least then Trump does not have to worry about his COS not helping obstruct justice.

Because he will have a motivated criminal standing right beside him.

[no_hypocrisy]

28. He's just saying that. They're still torturing Chris Christie.

Jared will NEVER forgive Christie for putting his father in jail for all those years.

This is like Lucy, Charlie Brown, and the football.

They did it to Christie with the transition team. They did it to Christie with Attorney General. They're doing it again. And they're laughing their asses off every time they call him to come to D.C. to discuss a potential position. Subjugating.

[JHan]

29. Imagine, one of the most sought after jobs in the world... gotta settle on Jared. LOL

Sane people everywhere right now:

[Drifter]

31. This is what political inbreeding looks like n/t

[pnwmom]

33. Perfect candidate for the anti-Christ's helper.

The guy with the building on 666 Fifth Avenue.

[FakeNoose]

34. He already is the UNOFFICIAL Chief of Staff

... might as well make it official!
