That 2016 election was one that I viewed with interest. The thing that struck me was the steady stream of resignations from Trump’s admin. so soon after his inauguration. It seemed like there was a major one every week, or fortnight. In some cases their replacements resigned barely into the job. Something was afoot that hasn’t been explained. I recall Kushner seemingly ever-present in the background, like the eyes & ears of the WH. A ‘shpy’ basically who knew what was up, but kept shtum. There were reports that Kushner was meddling in others affairs, & that he’d meet privately with foreign dignitaries prior to other US diplomats. That Kushner guy cut a sly figure, an Israel-firster to the core. And Trump’s daughter is sad for marrying him.

Interesting that the second paragraph of your post appears in my notifications, but not in the actual thread. Unfortunately, only one of your links could be found. This site is a nightmare for posting links.
