Trump Considering Son-In-Law Jared Kushner For Next Chief Of Staff

Source: Huffington Post

WASHINGTON ― Having run through his first choices for his chief of staff vacancy without any luck, President Donald Trump is considering his own son-in-law for the job.

Jared Kushner, the husband of Trump’s daughter Ivanka and already an official White House adviser, met with Trump Wednesday about the job, a top Republican close to the White House told HuffPost. He and two others close to Trump or the White House who confirmed Kushner’s interest in the position did so on condition of anonymity to discuss the president’s staffing considerations freely.

Kushner has been pushing his own candidacy with Trump, citing his work on a criminal justice reform package and a claimed ability to work with Democrats, one person said. “I don’t know why he thinks that, when the Democrats are mainly going to be coming after Trump,” the source said.

The White House did not respond to HuffPost’s queries about Kushner’s prospects for the job.

This might actually work; since Kushner isn't getting paid, we'd save on a salary and get the same quality of work product...

Trump is even worse than Nixon. He will be rated by historians as the worst president in our history. He certainly is the stupidest one.

Kushner is not a very smart person. Infact, he has made some terrible decisions. But, he will also be on Robert Mueller's list of people, that Mueller is going after. He will probably be the first of the family to be recommended for an Orange Jump suit. Trump will probably pardon him, like the rest of his family the Southern District of NY wants to talk to him about his role in the 2016 campaign... he won't escape Prison either. Maybe he and Michael Cohen can share a cell.

He seems perfect for the job.

Hmm, maybe that's why he's not on the list.
