Meet Jared Kushner, Trump's Son-In-Law Expected To Have Powerful Influence In White House
Hello, it’s time for Riggsy to tell you about somebody. Meet Jared Kushner. Jared married Ivanka Trump 7 years ago and has been very close with The Donald ever since. We all know how Trump feels about Ivanka — any man that can conquer that woman must be a hero in his eyes.
Jared comes from a super wealthy, prominent family. His father, Charles Kushner, is a massively successful and influential real estate developer. Jared (and his brother) was admitted to Harvard after their father made a $2.5 million donation — and he’s done pretty well ever since (lol Harvard, what a nerd).
He’s now a 35-year-old billionaire. He bought the New York Observer at age 25 and once tried to buy the LA Dodgers. At age 26, he made the most expensive single-property purchase in United States history. He’s fiercely loyal and is rumored to have been instrumental in the firing of former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski this summer.
He’s also shy and awkward as fuck. Here he is snapping iPhone pics in the Oval.
(hello rocket)
And here he is clearly having no clue how to handshake.
What a weirdo. The over-the-top left-handed shake then the weird around-Ivanka, step forward, step back move? Hate it.
There’s a nepotism law that prohibits the president from hiring relatives. However, if Jared takes no salary and has no formal title, he’s kosher to be as involved as Trump wants him to be in the administration. And, according to BNN sources, that’s likely to be very, very involved.

Since Chris Christie was forced out as the head of transition last week, Kushner has been leading the “purge” of Christie staffers. This isn’t surprising — in 2004, then-federal prosecutor Christie prosecuted Jared’s father for tax evasion.
Kushner’s father was prosecuted by then-US Attorney Christie in 2004 for tax evasion, witness tampering and illegal campaign contributions.
Eventually, the elder Kushner pleaded guilty to 16 accounts of illegal financial fuckery and was sentenced to 2 years in prison.
Is Jared Kushner a bad dude or a great dude? I have no idea. I just know he’s heavily involved, despite not being a spotlight guy. And he’s rich as fuck. And he bangs Ivanka Trump. Not sure if we should hate him or love him, but we should definitely be aware of him.
