Jared Kushner tries meeting with world leaders on Donald Trumps behalf, blows it in comically bad fashion
For reasons known only to the two of them, Jared Kushner decided he was going to try to single handedly negotiate peace in the Middle East, and Donald Trump decided it would be a good idea to let him. The result: calamity. Kushner met with the Palestinian leadership, and the tense meeting resulted in both sides being upset with each other (source). Kushner came off like he was a delegate of Israel, rather than the kind of neutral arbiter required for any such negotiations.

That is why Trump can identify with him so well.

may be bitterly disappointed in Kushy. He's just not up to the standard of republican family values role model, the republican Draft Dodger in Chief, Comrade Daddy Casino.

the Middle East in a day. If that brilliant mastermind can't do it, nobody can.
