Kushner, Inc.
Kushner, Inc.: Greed. Ambition. Corruption. The Extraordinary Story of Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump | Vicky Ward
11 posts | 4 read | 8 to read
The first explosive book about Javanka and their infamous rise to power Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump are the self-styled Prince and Princess of America. Their swift, gilded rise to extraordinary power in Donald Trumps White House is unprecedented and dangerous. In Kushner, Inc., investigative journalist Vicky Ward digs beneath the myth the couple has created that depicts themselves as the voices of reason in an otherwise crazy presidency and reveals that Jared and Ivanka are not just the Presidents chief enablers: they are, like him, appear disdainful of rules, of laws, and of ethics. They are entitled inheritors of the worst kind; their combination of ignorance, arrogance, and an insatiable lust for power has caused havoc all over the world, and may threaten the democracy of the United States. Ward follows their trajectory from New Jersey and New York City to the White House, where the couples many forays into policy-making and national security have mocked long-standing U.S. policy and protocol. They have pursued a personal agenda that could increase their wealth while their actions have mostly gone unchecked. In Kushner, Inc., Ward holds Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump accountable: she unveils the couples self-serving transactional motivations and how those have propelled them into the highest levels of the US government where no one, the President included, has been able to stop them.

LOCK THEM UP! LOCK THEM UP! This kept going through my head about Jared and Ivanka as I read this. Not only are they dangerously incompetent and under qualified to do anything in government, they also play fast and loose with ethics and laws. I couldn‘t imagine a more clueless and out-of-touch couple in so many ways. Here‘s hoping we get a change this year. 🥂

#Audio #RoadTrippin This was a very well researched book regarding both the Kushner klan and Ivanka‘s upbringing & merging of the 2 family‘s brands. It‘s safe to say the apples didn‘t fall far from their family trees. While both kids were raised in privilege & exposure to corruption it‘s no surprise they gravitated towards each other. Credit to Jared‘s grandparents, true Holocaust survivors who built an empire. Sad their sons tarnished their name.

Megabooks Just checked it out from the library! Thanks! 🎧 5y
Cinfhen Hope you “enjoy” @Megabooks We have a few personal connections to a handful of people mentioned in this book, so it was interesting to hear what the author had to say about them🤭 5y
Megabooks @Cinfhen I find those in books as well. It is always interesting to hear what people say about the people you know and whether you agree with the author or whether you agree with your acquaintance/friend‘s position! 😉😉🤐 I had a lot of friends go into journalism after college, so now that we‘re around 40, some of them are publishing or being included in books, but I still mostly see them in magazines/newspapers/TV. 5y

Cinfhen I think most of what was written/said was true @Megabooks 🥴our very close friends are neighbors with Jared‘s sister Dara and we‘ve had several meals with her and her family including Jared‘s parents Charlie & Seryl. Plus our friend catered Jared & Ivanka‘s wedding and my hubby & I “worked” as part of his hospitality team but we had to sign NDA 🤐And Charlie Kushner‘s lawyer is our first cousin‘s brother in-law so lots of family events 5y
Megabooks That is a lot of connection!! NDA for a wedding...gotta admit I‘m rolling my eyes a little at that. I get it. But I‘m still rolling my eyes. 🙄🤣 5y
Cinfhen Yup!!! And our phones were confiscated too @Megabooks 🙄I will say People Magazine did an excellent job capturing the wedding. It was truly a spectacular event‼️ 5y

Spent 4 1/2 hours listening to this #audio today. Hubby‘s first audio experience and it‘s a winner so far. It‘s a bit of an expose but it‘s interesting enough to help pass the time. #RoadTrippin 🚘🇨🇦🎧

Crazeedi Have fun in Niagara! 5y

News Flash: Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump are horrible, horrible people!! Gasp, I know right, who would have thunk it? Seriously though, I don't think I've ever come across two people so shallow, superficial, materialistic, greedy and petty. They're made for each other. Trump must be so proud, she is him made over. 4 💥💥💥💥 out of 5.

alisonrose Jared Kushner is Exhibit A in my case about why we should have excommunication in Judaism. 5y
RamsFan1963 @alisonrose It was bad enough he used his White House connections to get a loan for his father's business, but his bumbling in the middle east almost started a war between Qatar and Saudi Arabia. He should be out of the admin and, at the very least, in jail. 5y
Cathythoughts Sounds like a scary read ... 5y

Megabooks Yikes! I don‘t trust any of his family that I think he‘s used to fill too many high posts! 5y
RamsFan1963 @Megabooks It is truly terrifying the amount of power they wield, considering how little they know about government policies. Hopefully after 2020 they both can just go back to NYC and quickly fade for the American consciousness. 5y
Kaye I just cannot believe the list of freaks that‘ve had some capacity of employment in the White House since that YAHOO got elected. It‘s sorta like The Island of Misfit Toys on Cocaine . These 2 remind me a bit of the Stepford Couple. Blank looks on their faces who look like they don‘t have enough brain cells between the two of them to come in out of the rain. 5y
CarolynM @Kaye What a perfect description! 5y
alisonrose @RamsFan1963 True of every single person in this admin 5y
skewermann @RamsFan1963 I think you'd enjoy my scorching exposé of the Chump administration... "Dire and Puny" ? - including its revelations about the Kushynirds https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081S5JLTX 3y

No books? Three children, and no books?!? WTF?!?! What a horrible example they are to their children. Shallow, superficial people with no appreciation for art, music or literature beyond its materialistic value. To use Trump's own word...Sad!!

wanderinglynn Sadly, I'm not surprised. 5y
Weaponxgirl I hate being in a room with no books, they make a place feel comfortable 5y
SleepyDragon Well, maybe the nanny who is actually raising the kids reads ... one can hope. 5y

Mostly a rehash of what other books have given us. This books shows how unethical these two are and that they really have no interest in the United States, but only to enrich their brand. Not much new here, but then I read and watch news daily. They are hollow, soulless people. Nothing we didn‘t know. If you feel a need to read it, get the library book. 🌟🌟 only for the well researched book.

JaclynW As my kids would say..."Cringy!"? 5y
Gaylagal2 They have NO business in the white house...zero 🤓 5y
Samplergal @JaclynW Great word! So describes these fakes. 5y
Samplergal @Gaylagal2 None. And after reading this book, even less. Neither of them divested anything. It‘s all about making money. 5y
JaclynW @Samplergal Fake indeed. It's all about 💰💰💰 5y

Javanka are as bad as trump. Just saying. No big surprises in this book, yet. Confirms the fake entitlement of the kids, who aren‘t doing anything but playing government.

“Elizabeth Spiers, a former Observer editor, noticed during a visit to Jared and Ivanka‘s apartment that there was not a book in sight and that the pair had zero intellectual curiosity. (Others dispute that “no books” claim: they recall “a few art books”—or “decorator-curated books.”)”

SleepyDragon I heard of interior decorators using books for aesthetic purposes only. It's depressing to think of books sitting idle. 5y
GingerAntics Sadly, not in the least bit shocking. 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Well, that‘s no surprise. Ugh. 5y
SaturnDoo 🤔 no books in sight doesn't mean anything bad...my son doesn't display his collections of books, movies or other types of media openly for everyone to see. Just his preference. Just something that's being nitpicked IMO. 5y

Daddy Kusher is corrupt. And he‘s waiting for a pardon from trump.

AmyG They are all corrupt. I guess money and power make some people look the other way. It‘s horrifying. 5y
GingerAntics I‘m guessing it‘s not easy to get out of either, kind of like the mob. 5y

Starting this one tomorrow. Hope I can stomach it. Watch for quotes.

Texreader Oh boy... good luck 5y
RamsFan1963 I read the inside blurb at Walmart, and I already wanted to throw the book across the store in anger and disgust. 5y
Emilymdxn Good luck! Brave and important to read and share books like this, that‘s what I always remind myself when they make me feel sick 5y
SleepyDragon Thanks for taking one for the team! I can't deal with any more trump related books right now. 5y
Samplergal One must stay on top of what this administration IS and DOING. I‘ll take one for the team as it‘s been a while since I read one of the trump books. And those on twitter, follow @devincow ! 5y
