IMO Kushner is already frustrated… Here is a list of Kushners accomplishments in all of his jobs:

Hey now, that’s not fair.

He was able to shake down foreign governments and individuals to belly up and give him a loan on his failing buildings.

Selling US foreign policy for personal gain doesn’t happen on its own, after all.

His interventions actually just created more inefficiency in the process.”

Um…Full speed ahead!

So, how soon before WonderKush starts offering the “Premium Preferred Passage Package” at the border for those who can afford it?

Jared can always look upon the everlasting peace he wrought in the Middle East and feel satisfied his legacy is cemented.

I’ve got to agree, seems to be the type that frustrates easily and quits when it gets hard. The type that is always ready to pass the job on to another when it get hard with the excuse that he has been asked to do _____ this new job. Never gets anything done but sure knows how to blo the boss to ensure he keeps getting another opportunity to shine.

Given that he is married to the one woman that Trump lusts after the most…Trump’s own daughter…that just got really weird.

“But the decision to add another task to White House senior adviser’s agenda — he’s already responsible for Middle East peace and modernizing the entire federal government, among many other things …”

And all of those things are going so well. Especially if you consider war is peace, and dismantling, demoralizing, and weakening is modernizing. But, he’s really gotta share some of the credit for all his accomplishments with the chosen one.

Trump suddenly realized he had no one in place to make sure he was getting his cut on the concrete and other building materials.

Acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan told the Post that Kushner “doesn’t need to know the intricacies of the wall” because he “understands building stuff” and construction timelines.

To me, this comment really sums up the entire administration.

Well if Jared has as much success with this project as he has had with Middle East Peace we will be looking at the startup of construction sometime around the turn of the next century.

Yup, people start to get testy when big government types like Jared just come in and take their land.

We’re being sued on a regular basis on multiple fronts. Land acquisition is a very, very challenging process.

Mark my words - this is going to be the first wall in history with bedbugs.

But somehow he made $82 million last year…so all’s good?

“Maybe he can light a fire under the responsible agencies…"

Trump knows construction so he needs a fixer to “cut through red tape,” “grease the skids,” “talk to the right people,” “settle disputes amicably,” etc. which means Jared’s job is to drop in with plane-loads of cash to bribe, blackmail or otherwise get rid of anyone holding things up.

JARED will provide ‘a laser focus’? REALLY? Which project he’s been appointed to has come anywhere NEAR completion? Hell, even PROGRESS?

Not really. Kushner is making a huge killing out of his “service” to Trump. The 1.2 billion in advance rent some mysterious customer paid… pretty much makes worth his time. And we don’t know what other “deals” he is into, he might be getting kickbacks from the wall contractors.

By formidable do you mean you have to get an expensive reciprocating saw or just a cheap ladder.

Now that he’s cured the fentanyl epidemic he’s ready.
