I’m sure he can be easily replaced with Trump Tower’s head of security.
Hey, you can never go wrong hiring a Ford Motor Co. exec to be in a cabinet position he knows little or nothing about, amirite?
My mother, a Trump voter, sent me one of these (a Trump Dammit Doll) that we routinely put into awkward situations at work.
If you read the article, it says he worked for Condi early in the W era. So, this can only turn out well.
Another departure. Let’s make sure everyone with any experience in their job leaves asap.
U.S. Ambassador to Mexico to Quit Amid Tense Relations Under Trump
I guess this fits in with Rex’s plan to shrink the State Department down to four guys in a trailer somewhere.
Apollo has $250 billion in investments under management, so even if they lost it all, that would only amount to 2% of their assets. And since it’s a collaterized mortgage loan, they’d also have the AT&T building in Chicago.
Yes, it’s a lot of money but making insanely large loan is what Apollo and companies like that DO. And it pays well, the senior partners that I’ve worked for apparently have net worths of between 3 and 4 billion dollars.
This is what income inequality looks like.
To me, the implication of this story is that Jared’s Big Adventure has destroyed his company. Because large commercial real estate companies take out big mortgage loans. That’s a large part of the core business. And companies like Apollo make large loans. That’s what they do.
But these companies, although basically legitimate, probably break all sorts of rules and regulations on a regular basis. And they don’t want public attention focused on their deals.
So the Kushner companies are going to be toxic to their bankers. It’s probably going to destroy them.
An as an aside, did you know that Kushner’s brother owns a health insurance start-up that was founded in response to ObamaCare, and is highly dependent on the subsidies and cost-sharing that the Trump administration trashed? Of course, I don’t know how Jared feels about his brother.
Not to be outdone, Ivanka Trump’s shady business dealings are being investigated.
It’s like Colbert: Left thinks he is trolling the right, right thinks the opposite. And as well all know, the left was correct.
BTW, that ad actually played on the golf channel (I think that was where my friend saw it).
Wery qualified.
And here’s very like another - and it’s a big one: McMaster.
…although if this report’s correct, it doesn’t seem like he’ll be missed by the other two generals.
But then there’s the bigger question of how long Kelly’s in for the ride, and the speculation isn’t that unreasonable considering he just demoted Javanka’s standing in the WH. My hunch is Kelly’s daring the Trumps to fire him.
Regarding his replacement: I can’t imagine Trump will be comfortable having someone basically called “Bigg’un” around.
I was uncertain, too, until I noticed:
Sorry, we cannot accept returns of intentionally damaged bears.
The bears are real, but the sellers are not for real, I gather.
Trump says Trade Wars are easy to win
Reminds me a bit of this.
Cue next week, trump: “Nobody knew Trade Wars were so hard to win.”
“Nobody knew Trade Wars were so hard to win. I think I’ll go for something easier—a land war in Asia.”
Cute sign posted on DU:
“When I find myself in tweets of trouble, Mother Russia comes to me- speaking words of wisdom, COVFEFE”
Seriously, Putin boasts of his new missile technology, complete with animation of warheads heading toward Florida, and the Orange Puppet is upset about- Alec Baldwin.
Well, apparently the biggest US importer by far of both steel and aluminum is Canada. And they’re wimps, right?
Did he get bored with picking on Mexico?
Right, but, Florida?
That’s how the animation looked to me- sure looked like Lake Okeechobee in view.
