As many of you know, I go through phases where I really can’t pay attention to what’s happening in American politics. I will avoid the news for a month or so just out of a sense of mental health and self-care, because I can’t sustain my rage and still be functional in other areas of my life. What’s astounding to me is that whenever I do “come back” and start paying attention, is how little has changed in the previous weeks or months. It’s June 2019 and we’re still talking about… whether Donald Trump is racist?? No, really, we’re still talking about it like it’s not a given, like Trump hasn’t proved his racism is a fact a million times over.
So, Axios has an HBO-news show now where they do interviews and deeper dives into certain subjects. One of their big gets this week was an exclusive interview with Jared Kushner, the boy prince of the Kingdom of Trumplandia. Jonathan Swan of Axios pressed Jared on Trump’s racism. Jared’s reaction was… something.
Jared Kushner deflects when asked if he disapproves of Donald Trump's promotion of birtherism, saying he wasn't involved with it. @dctvny @hbodocs pic.twitter.com/D2wINVHLIx

Was the president’s eight-year-long campaign to de-legitimize the citizenship of the first black president racist? “Look, I wasn’t really involved in that.” Not “of course it was racist.” Not “No, of course it wasn’t.” Kushner knows he would look even more foolish if he denied outright that birtherism is racist, but he’s still dumb enough to answer with “Hey that’s not ON ME.” Except it is on him – he’s the president’s senior advisor, he’s in charge of like half the government. And that’s the best he can do.
Also: “Look, I know who the president is, and I have not seen anything in him that is racist. So again, I was not involved in that.” ORLY?

His mouth.
…and that blusher!
is he having work done too? he’s looking more and more feminine
He really resembles Ivanka. Put a blond wig on him…
Big surprise!
Looks like he’s trying to hold back the snarl, doesn’t it.
Every time these bigots say that line about “Saying this thing or person is racist is bad and I’M really offended on behalf of people who suffer actual racism.” I want to Russell Edgington them right there on camera.
He must be bathing in Botox nightly. How else do you explain that face. The fact that he hasn’t added years to it just proves that he has ZERO conscience.
His face is a look of disdain toward the interviewer. The boy cannot hide his feelings.
You’re a damned liar, you married-in garbage bag.
Is he actually a ventriloquist dummy? He always looks like he’s not sure what to do with his hands or body.
That’s all I can think of when I see him! A creepy horror movie dummy made of wax and plastic with dead eyes. It’s like uncanny valley or something. Shudder.

that’s always what I think when I see him.
he’s like a horror-movie doll, all grown up. creepy, dead-eyed dummy.
@lightpurple i came here to mention the doll from “the boy” too! it’s uncanny!
Botox and acid peels are doing him no favors.
Right! And it looks like he had all his facial hair lasered off? He really does look like an alien that is trying to pretend to be a human.
That was my exact thought, too. He’s creepy and clearly a cowardly and despicable human being.
You nailed it, EsMom.
As for his face, in the immortal words of Gertrude Stein, “There is no there there.”
I did just a general google search for “Kushner” and OH MY the headlines that popped up! People are not being kind. LOLz!
Winner: “Jared Kushner’s Skin Suit Is Looking Incredibly Dewy.” lmao!
Sophia, that was my favorite too! 🙂
He is a shinny waxy complicit traitor. His what’s app window to MBS whom he actually told to “don’t discuss it” and the murder of A journalist living in America will “blow over”
Righteous Trash the lot of them
What a jack ass he is
The face you want to punch. And punch and punch and ….
I was just about to comment on his punchable face. I’m not a violent person but….
nah, just take out his batteries.
That whole interview was super cringey and I don’t know how Kushner left there feeling like things went well for him.
Probably the same way he can look himself in the mirror and think he is working in the service of our country while his father in law dismantles US democracy bit by bit: delusion, ambition, and wishful thinking.
CNN’s Kate Bolduan’s lead in to the interview: “Coming up, Jared Kushner’s interview…now we know why his interviews are so rare.”
OH BUUUURRRRRN!!!!! Not enough aloe vera in the world for that one!
Truer words never spoken about him! What a strange and embarrassing interview. For .05 seconds I thought I was watching SNL. Not only does he look like a woman passing as a male serial killer, but he refused to directly answer a question or engage his face or thoughts.
I wish I’d never seen that…(shudders)
He is such a feminine-looking man. It always looks like he plucks his eyebrows. He sold his soul to the orange devil.
Definitely blusher on those cheeks, unless it was embarrassment at the lies he was spouting.
and he has incredibly smooth skin; I bet he steals princess complicit’s moisturizer.
lol you’re bad!!!!
He has to Botox. His face has no micro expressions and the only thing that moves are his eyes (blinking) and lips. It is so unnatural how still his face is when he talks. No eye brown movement, etc.
Ugh Jayna, you’ve hit my pet peeve — men who pluck their eyebrows. They always look like store mannequins. This Dollar Tree Patrick Bateman Ken Doll is no different.
I have been made fun of before for dating feminine looking or acting men. I don’t think the way he looks is the issue. His alignment with this family is the main issue here.
Andrea, your point is well-taken. I just want to clarify. It’s not that he looks feminine, it’s that he looks unreal. It’s part of the whole package of deceit, disingenuousness, and dissociation. I feel the same way about his wife.
He does always have a smarmy look about him in most pictures!
he is such a smug little asshole; I can’t wait for his comeuppance.
Yep. And his comedownance (just coined that one and I kind of like it for Jared).
Good one. Stealing this! 😉
My most recent coinage: Uptighty Whitey. Hahaha. Please feel free to redistribute as desired!
Resting silver spoon sneer face a-hole. I loathe him and his plastic calorie free wife.
Such a punchable face. That face looks like it would be right at home in a Nazi uniform.
“Well, as you know, I wasn’t personally involved in the Holocaust, so I couldn’t possibly say if it was anti-semitic…”
Perfect, Elkie. Absolutely perfect.
He’s just trying to set the table for when he leaves the Trump administration. I worked for a racist and helped promote the agenda, but I wasn’t a racist.
I think his logic should also apply to SS officers, they worked for Hitler and carried out orders but really were not anti-Jew
He also made horrible comments about the Palestinians. Because he’s not a bigot or anything. Meanwhile , this reptile is having dinner with the Queen, at the expense of US & UK taxpayers.
About 22 million for UK security, I read. Sorry, Cousins!
I hope a lot of that U.K. Security is actually surveillance on the Trumps and Trump minions. This would be a good opportunity for them to make contact with their Russian handlers, even if just by phone. They may feel they are no longer dealing with monitoring by US Intelligence and can speak freely.
I especially suspect Jared and Ivanka of acting as go-betweens this way.
His comments about the Palestinians were so terrible. You can tell he has these talking points he memorizes, but when he gets asked a specific question where they don’t apply, he falls on his face.
I was very impressed with the interviewer. He gave him some softballs to earn trust and then was so quick with hard follow up questions.
I laughed/sighed in frustration at Kaiser’s comments on taking a media break. It is so true; we could see the Kushners in action today, next month or 20 years from now and it’d all be the same. They’d be vapid, propped up by money and groomed within an inch of their lives.
I saw that interview and did Jared always use to look like a creepy mannequin? Or did they make him inject botox so he has no expressions when he lies?
He’s always been unsettling to look at. Sort of like the human suit doesn’t quite sit comfortably, breaking the illusion.
He used to be slightly less disturbing looking – he had a decent smile and dimples – but something creepy and waxen happened.
He always has a ‘sheen’ about him, over his skin and the greasy looking hair. Plus it looks like he’s not the only one who likes the plastic surgery.
I hate them… each and every single one of them.. damn, could melania’s dress be any tighter.. unfortunate to see prince harry showing princess complicit around.
I don’t understand why Jared and Ivanka are part of this royal visit. I don’t remember any other past presidents bringing their advisors to meet the Queen and her family. Additionally Ivanka is not a minor child that has to travel with her parents. But grifter are gonna grift.
Barbara Bush traveled with Laura but the family paid her way and Barbara had lunch with the press pool when her mother had lunch with the Queen.
He looks so…waxy. Like a mannequin or something. Or like someone who’s had too much work done. Weird.
Geezbus, he looks freshly overfilled and toxed…That shit needs to settle before going on TV. Did he think if everything was super tight and paralyzed his face wouldn’t give away all the lies?
Anybody — and I mean ANYBODY — who went into that voting booth in 2016 and voted for Trump is a piece of shit racist. Every. Single. One!
You can’t ask the shameless to be shameful…
Kushner’s family make their money off of owning disgusting apartment complexes and charging the Black and Brown people who unfortunately live there…top dollar to live in disgusting rat traps….Trump’s Daddy built his portfolio doing the same thing….and the government sanctions ALL OF THIS…well, powerful corrupt people in government sanction…ALL of this…
These people are absolute MONSTERS…all of them…and any chance they get in a public forum to speak…they prove that fact…ad naseum…
Upvote.
Some good investigative reporter needs to take a really close look at what kinds of stocks or puts and calls the Trump cronies are buying right before he announces these tariffs…..
He’s awful, but he also just reminds me of the most bland person alive. His voice, his look, his demeanor. I get the feeling he has no real opinions he’ll just copt to the best thing that works for him. Which now is his crazy father in law. He’s just yuck!!!!!
That top picture…I know it’s someone standing behind him, but it really makes him look like he has a thick neck and a douchy ponytail. I can’t unsee it now…so appropriate for him.
I cannot understand how Kushner works at the White House, for the American government. The conflict if interest, the ethical breaches, the profiteering from the position. You don’t have to be a lawyer to clearly see his position as an advisor is untenable. How are the Democrats letting these things slide???
Listen, America better never come tell Africa and the Caribbean about despots and corruption ever again. The high priest of corruption lives in America’s most treasured house and has become the axis of many evils in 2019. That poor dismembered journalist. The starving people in Yemen. History will not be kind to America for this period. And it is all so blatantly done. So wrong. And Kushner is at the centre of all of it.
So much depends on voluntary compliance and good faith following of ethics rules. The system wasn’t designed for something like this. When Kellyanne Conway says, Sure I broke the Hatch Act (which bars administration officials campaigning), put me in jail, haha. No past administrations, Democrat or Republican, behaved this way.
It is a total failure of the American system.
I don’t agree that he uses Botox because I clearly see that he’s aging badly. More chinless, sagging features, no character in the face or soul. He could be made out of silly putty. Or a walking, talking Madame Tussaud creation. Or an Animatron made by Disney. He just needs to add the wig to be Cruella DeVille.
Just doing his part to keep the Kushner/Trump mob biz going. Can’t wait until SDNY charges catch up to him and we watch him rat out everybody so he doesn’t have to go to prison. Reports say that it was really upsetting for him when he had to visit his dad in prison, so he should flip on everybody eventually to stay out of a cell. Repugnant slime.
It always makes me smile when I think that with all Daddy’s money and alleged influence, THIS GUY is the best Ivanka could do. I despise her but she’s not an idiot and she did go to good schools. I guess only the son of a criminal was willing to marry a woman whose father thought she was a ‘great piece of ass’.
Birds of a feather and all that. The Trumps have spent decades trying to get into NYC high society and marrying Kushner was the only opportunity she had – his family are well connected even if his father is a criminal. It kinda backfired as they (Nagini and her Ken Doll) are pretty much shunned now. Uday’s ex-wife was also well connected in the circles they desperately wanted to be accepted by.
Its long been said that both have political ambitions of their own with Nagini being the 1st female President.
He has trump lips and screws around with his face like trump. His family is just like trump. No wonder she married him. Reminds her of daddy. I still don’t understand why the slow Eric wasn’t named an advisor?
Disney animatronics. BAD animatronics.
total sociopath
He always looks to me as if he’s about to burst into tears. He does look particularly “cadaver-ish” here. I wish the interviewer hadn’t let him get away w/what he did- it’s not like he wasn’t a racist for 69 years- he should have refuted that. He settled w/the government TWICE for racist practices in his family’s rental properties and there are numerous other examples. If you’re going to confront him about something- be ready to make your case and don’t let him skate!
The only thing he cares about is maintaining invites to oligarch parties/social circles. Unfortunately this sorry example of an excuse will allow him to maintain his bona fides with those people. I just hope a majority of the other 99.9% can see this for what it is…..
I wasn’t a Nazi killing the Jews either Jarod, but I would answer it was wrong if asked. What a big piece of shit he is.
He’s over in Great Britain now, so do as the British: “piece of shite”.
