A few days ago, Trump's golden turtle son-in-law Kushner high-profile congratulated his wife Ivanka on his 40th birthday.
This is the most remarkable thing he has since retired from the former Presidential Adviser.
说起库什纳，第一个印象就是跟特朗普如花似玉的大女儿伊万卡两口子走在一起，的确让人赏心悦目～～
堪称金童玉女～～
但是，除了帅气的外表，他这个总统顾问，真的谈不上有什么可圈可点的政绩。
本来新冠疫情刚爆发的时候，特朗普任命女婿负责一个冠状病毒危机应对工作小组，与副总统迈克·彭斯的特别工作组平行行动，主要负责物资供给方面的工作，结果他这个政治小白，自然把工作弄得一塌糊涂，各州官员和民众怨声载道。
It's hard not to think that he, the presidential adviser, is just a product of nepotism.
Someone once unceremoniously pointed out that Kushner "has only succeeded in three things in his life —
他生在富裕之家、娶了个“公主”、知道如何影响他的岳父。
Most of his other efforts— real estate deals, the acquisition of newspapers, and the signing of peace agreements between Israel and The Palestinians — have failed. ”
However, there are not three things that have been successfully done. Maybe that's enough.
Like his father-in-law Trump, Kushner is a second generation of the rich. Kushner's family also ran a real estate business. In recent years, it has acquired media and invested in health insurance companies.
In the early years, Kushner's grandparents immigrated to the United States from Belarus as survivors of the concentration camp massacre. His father, Charles, started his own company in 1985. Charles has been buying real estate for nearly 20 years. At the peak of his career in 2004, he owned 25,000 apartments in the northeastern United States.
Born into the Jewish Orthodox family in New Jersey, Kushner also has a younger brother and two younger sisters.
He graduated from Harvard University in 2003 with a bachelor's degree in sociology. But according to reports, Kushner and his brother were admitted after their father donated $2.5 million to Harvard.
库什内纳高中老师说，当时他在班里的成绩很一般，能被最顶级的哈佛大学录取，一定是他父亲的捐款起了作用。

Most successful people who have achieved success in business understand the power of circles, and Kushner knew how to use his connections to serve himself long before he graduated.
在哈佛就读时，库什纳就加入了该校的男子精英社团，通过关系开始做房地产交易，据称上学期间赚取了2000万美元的利润。
The weather is unpredictable. In 2004, his father, Charles, who was at the peak of his career, was convicted of tax evasion, illegal campaign donations, and interference with witnesses.
During the hearing, there was also a very bloody scene. Kushner's father, Charles, in order to prevent his brother-in-law from testifying against him in court, arranged for a prostitute to meet with his brother-in-law, secretly recorded it, and then gave the video to his sister to threaten his sister and brother-in-law.
Who wanted the East Window incident, Christie, who was the federal prosecutor of New Jersey at the time, angrily denounced Charles's behavior as "despicable" (this beam is more than a decade old, as will be mentioned later).

Two years later, Charles was released from prison. The real estate market is in full swing, and Kushner is ready to succeed the company's CEO.
In 2006, at the age of 25, Kushner bought a local elite new York book, The Observer, for $10 million.
Around 2007, Kushner made his first big deal, buying 666 Fifth Avenue in central Manhattan for a record $1.8 billion, but at the wrong time.
Within months, the financial crisis rippled into the real estate sector and credit tightened. Kushner had to split the building's retail space in two for sale.
He founded his own real estate company in 2008 and served as CEO himself, continuing to thrive on the U.S. East Coast real estate industry.
Kushner also changed the supposedly serious New York Observer into an entertainment tabloid, shifting the magazine's focus online and changing editors frequently.
Of course, when his father-in-law Trump ran into the presidential election, the New York Observer newspaper that Kushner bought immediately came in handy, becoming one of the very few media outlets to formally support Trump as the Republican presidential nominee.
In 2007, ivanka and Kushner, also 26, met by chance at a luncheon.
At that time, the two were the famous rich second generation on the East Coast of the United States, both of them liked to do business, and they had heard about their father's business since childhood, so when the golden wind and jade dew met, the two fell in love at first sight and hit it off.
However, after more than a year of falling in love, the two found that their religious beliefs were different, Ivanka believed in Christianity, while Kushner was Jewish and naturally believed in Judaism. Beliefs did not coincide, and the two chose to break up.
This matter was known to our sister Deng Wendi Deng, who was still the legitimate wife of media tycoon Murdoch at that time. You know, religion is so important to our countrymen, how can it not be the reason for the breakup.
So, in 2008, without telling the two of them that the other was also coming, Sister Deng invited the two of them to spend the weekend together on her yacht. In this way, the fire of love was rekindled between the two.
Later, Ivanka converted to Judaism. In 2009, the two held a high-profile grand wedding.
库什纳为特朗普入主白宫起了关键作用。
2016年美国大选期间，库什纳最初主要为特朗普策划数字在线和社交媒体项目，并从硅谷招募精英运营一个百余人的社交媒体团队，为特朗普打造声势立下了汗马功劳。
Later on, Kushner assisted Trump in drafting speeches and was involved in the core work of the president-elect transition team.
In 2016, Christie, then-New Jersey attorney general who was jailed to jail Kushner's father, had become governor of New Jersey and a key member of Trump's presidential campaign: he was the first U.S. governor to publicly endorse Trump. Trump had been inclined to pick Christie as his running mate, rather than Pence.
结果，库什纳表面上与克里斯蒂为了共同利益而搁置前嫌，却在暗中安排彭斯乘坐飞机前往特朗普的竞选总部商讨竞选事宜。
Christie realized later that she had long since been thrown out of the game by Kushner.
In the end, Kushner got his wish, and Pence was elected vice president. Christie went on to return to New Jersey as governor.
Killing a governor is nothing at all, and after Trump moved into the White House, Kushner's target was directly upgraded to us secretary of state.
Despite being a political figure, Kushner was at the center of U.S. foreign affairs from the very beginning of his tenure: Middle East policy. It was then that Tillerson was gradually marginalized from his position as secretary of state.

When qatar's diplomatic crisis erupted in May 2017, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who was visiting the Saudi capital Riyadh, was unaware that Trump was ready to support Saudi Arabia's severance of diplomatic relations with Qatar.
Even more unbeknownst to Tillerson, Kushner and Mr. Bannon, Trump's other senior White House adviser, have met with Saudi and EMI leaders at a private dinner party, and that Gulf leaders have told them in advance of their decision to sever diplomatic relations with Qatar.
This is equivalent to the Foreign Office setting up a matter, and the Foreign Minister has no idea. You can imagine how the foreign minister will react!
Then something even more embarrassing happened.
One night, at dinner at a restaurant in D.C., Tillerson asked Tillerson if he wanted to say hello to Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Wadegare, who was eating at the restaurant.
Tillerson didn't know that Mexican foreign ministers were in the United States. When he walked to the foreign minister's table, he found that the other person sitting next to him was Kushner.
When New Jersey Governor Christie failed to enter the White House, Bannon, the white house's chief strategic adviser, told Christie, "That kid [Kushner] came to your head with an axe from the beginning!" He doesn't want to kill you all the time. ”
As a result, the axe came at Bannon again.
On the right is Bannon
"Instead of being a slave to heaven, it is better to be dominated by hell", which is a phrase that Bannon often likes to quote, and he also takes it as a guideline.
Bannon, a hard-shell political veteran who stormed the 2016 U.S. presidential election and made a great contribution to Trump's victory, was removed less than half a year after Trump entered the White House, which is directly related to his relationship with Kushner and Ivanka.
Bannon is also not very good at being a person, and he does not know how to get along with people. He had worked hard from the commoner class, and Bannon instinctively did not want to see the princess and the donkey who came to power by nepotism, knew nothing and had to take care of everything—Kushner and Ivanka.
Bannon and Kushner's relationship quickly deteriorated, saying, "I'm going to duel Kushner." ”他不仅全力跟库什纳“决斗”，他连伊万卡也看不惯。
在班农眼里，伊万卡“笨得像块砖头”。 He once yelled at Ivanka, "You're nothing, you're a fucking staff member!" You go around here as if you're in charge. But you fucking aren't, you're just a staff member! ”
Ivanka, on the other hand, did not show weakness and shouted at him, "I was never a staff member." I am the first daughter! ”
At this point, the princess and the pony naturally have to sue Trump, just like that, one after another, trump is annoyed, turns his face and does not recognize him, and comes forward to say that Bannon has nothing to do with his success.
In the end, Bannon, a "tough general" with a hard-line ideology, was swept out of the house and ended up with a dismal exit.
Facts have also proved that Kushner's share of the national medical equipment reserves in charge of the war to control the epidemic has not played a role.
The anti-epidemic action is a huge linkage project, its decision-making is complex, and it requires a clear chain of command, but let a Kushner who has never had any political experience or work in the field of public health take over, and once he rushes to the top, he can get rid of the pandemic?
库什纳那时刚刚担任总统顾问，却赶上那么大的一个事情，自然，结果已经被美国民众得出——不胜任。 But just because he is the son-in-law who understands the king, and the person who understands the king, others can't do anything with him.
But didn't Kushner succeed in doing three things? Maybe that's enough.
