Jared Kushner Saw Trump Presidency As Chance to 'Dig Himself Out Of' Debt'

Jared Kushner reportedly saw his father-in-law Donald Trump becoming president as an opportunity to "dig himself out of the debt" he incurred from a bad real estate decision and pushed his wife Ivanka Trump who wanted to stay in New York to move to Washington, D.C.

When Donald Trump announced his bid for president, "Jared got to work on his own agenda: He wanted to dig himself out of the debt he'd acquired buying the massive office tower at 666 Fifth Avenue and figured a higher profile with government ties might do the trick," wrote journalist Vanessa Grigoriadis in a piece published by New York Magazine on Monday.

"With the Qatari government, it eventually did, and he also wanted to strengthen America's ties to Israel," wrote Grigoriadis, who had 60 interviews with Ivanka Trump's friends and colleagues and narrates the podcast "Tabloid: The Making of Ivanka Trump" which debuted Monday.

After Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election, Ivanka Trump told her friends she wanted to remain in New York but Kushner "argued for D.C., saying they needed to protect her father, and, by the way, now anything — everything! — was theirs for the taking," according to Grigoriadis.

I'm sure his father in law thought the same thing.

Osama Bin Trump were all listed as Dems only a few years ago. Their only reason for switching was for profit off of his presidency or at least the campaign. Didn't Jarvanka expect to be sitting in the W House themselves in a few years as GOP POTUS picks? They will do anything for the almighty $$$$$$.
