Never forget: Jared Kushner brought Big Tech into Trump's ear and told him not to fight

For a long time now, I've been railing on Jared Kushner as snake in the grass neoliberal trash that could not be trusted and moved Trump to the left on a lot of issues he ran on in 2016 and won the White House because he had the right position on.

With the threat of tariffs on iPhones approaching in August, Apple Inc. stood to lose billions of dollars in profit. Chief Executive Tim Cook reached out to one of his most important contacts in Washington, Jared Kushner.
Mr. Kushner arranged a call between Mr. Cook and his father-in-law, President Trump, people familiar with the call said, giving the Apple chief a chance to explain how tariffs would increase iPhone prices and impair Apple’s ability to compete against rivals such as Samsung Electronics Co.
Within days, the Trump administration scaled back its tariff plan to exempt a swath of electronics products, including iPhones, saying it wanted to protect consumers ahead of the holiday shopping season. The call from Mr. Cook influenced the decision, a person close to the administration said.

The more Trump listened to Bannon, the more he and America won.
The more Trump listened to Kushner, the more he and America lost.

Ivanka and Jared are Trump's biggest weaknesses.

This is 100% true.

The day Trump chose the guy that his daughter is sleeping with over a great patriot in Steve Bannon is the day he did massive damage to his administration and reelection campaign.
It's hardened my support for nepotism laws and how it needs to be expanded to the West Wing and positions that do not need senate confirmation.

Agreed again.
Kushner is a globalist at heart. The opposite of what was needed.
Republicans in the house and senate who had their hands out to Big Tech are absolutely flummoxed tonight. Maybe. They may not realize that selling out for 30 pieces of campaign donations is where this was always going to end up.

I literally voted for him in 2016 and 2020.
But Trump allowing neoliberal trash in Javanka, (Jared and Ivanka) into his administration and campaign is the biggest reason why I'm not on board with the Trump 2024 talk.
If he gets rid of them, then we'll talk.

All the excuses for Trump posted here make Trump seem pretty weak and easy to influence. Sad.

Kushner was always the poison pill.
Anybody with any sense of history saw that coming miles away.

Almost like the leftists running those giant corporations didn't care about the tax cuts they passed in 2017 and still bulldozed conservatives and shut down their speech and blacklisted their way of life while subsequently catering to their enemies.
If Corporate America wants more tax cuts and deregulation under a future GOP President, they better have a lot of strings attached to them.

There's no excusing Trump allowing Javanka to remain in his administration and seriously undermine his 2016 platform.
That's on him and him only.

I hate this but Trump has been a reliable ally for big tech his entire term. Hell it’s why he became president. Can’t really complain now.

Kushner and his own daughter were poisonous snakes in the nest.
