Jared Kushner, the head of the court surrounding Donald Trump
Jared Kushner, the head of the court surrounding Donald Trump
Ivanka's husband has handled the campaign of Donald in the shade. The president will leave his business in the hands of their children.
In April 2007, a new couple came to the world the heart of America: J-Vanka (pronounced 'Yei-Vanka').
It was the era of Brangelina , of Bennifer (Ben Affleck and Jennifer López) and Tomkat (Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes).
So J-Vanka he not jarred. Nor the characters under his name: Jared Kushner (35) and Ivanka Trump (35).
Were the sons of Charles Kushner (62) and Donald Trump (70), two famous, real estate entrepreneurs controversial and extremely well connected with the Democratic Party.
Jared and Ivanka had certain things in common. They were ambitious and had grown up surrounded by luxury.
One of the first times they appeared together was at the party that Jared gave to celebrate the redesign of its penultimate toy , the weekly New York Observer .
It was in the hotel Four Seasons , one of the most expensive in Manhattan and, according to the magazine New York : "There caviar literally on top of everything."
The similarities go beyond its origins.
Jared and Ivanka were considered ready for their families , with the exception, of course, parents, though about them there was no consensus on whether scoundrels were more than ready.
And there were divergences.
One, the most profound, religious character. The Kushner are Orthodox Jews . So orthodox that not only do not eat pork or shellfish, but not even turn on the light on Saturday, because that makes someone have to work on the Sabbath .
Analyzes of data from Twitter show that, during the campaign, Donald Trump hung messages on the social network from their personal phone on Saturday, presumably because Jared and Ivanka did not work and therefore could not control eruptions fury of then candidate.
Thus came J-Vanka .
A relationship that was made public on April 27, 2007 of less romantic and more real way: with a press release announcing the party to celebrate the inauguration of the apartment building luxury Gramercy Stark, in Manhattan, and where in the guest list appeared " Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump girlfriend ."
In 2008, the couple broke up when Jared, following his mother hid behind that Ivanka was goyim, ie not Jewish. Ivanka agreed to become of love .
He left all the food that is not kosher and underwent the rites to become part of Judaism.
Nine years and three children later , J-Vanka has not only surpassed in longevity Tomkat , Bennifer and Brangelina , but has become, de facto, in the first family of the United States. Ivanka and Jared are the real couple power , the pair of powerful , US.
Bill and Hillary will have to step aside.
Successors have arrived. The Trump saga is underway . It's not the Kennedy, of course. But the future is yours. Or rather, Jared.
When his father is sworn he will have an unlimited influence in the White House. Kushner has shown extraordinary political skill as ruthless.
If Trump has a successor someday, this will be Jared. Trump's decision to leave the management of their companies to their children to avoid conflicts of interest plays in favor of his son.
With this movement, the president will maintain contact with the managers of its 500 companies and at the same time, have control of regulatory agencies that give grants and monitor their activities; and direct line with governments and companies in the 21 countries where it has investments. That's where Jared will see its power reinforced.
He is the only person who is saved in the immediate circle of Trump . This was stated by former CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt, who supported Hillary Clinton : " Jared Kushner is the biggest surprise of the 2016 elections.
For all I know, he was the one who led the campaign, and went with no resources of any kind ".
Trump campaign effectively addressed with precious few resources.
So Kushner can be a genius of organization and a tireless worker. But Trump's team not only showed lack of resources but also scruples.
Personal revenge
When in 2007 Kushner met Donald Trump, he said: " I hope you're serious ." At least that's the official version. But Kushner itself was serious. His story with his father, his father and the politician who most supported Trump in his race for the White House, the governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, is an intersection of Shakespearean tragedy and The Sopranos.
What Jared Kushner has done with Chris Christie befits a movie. The story begins in 2004.
That year, Christie Charles Kushner was launched against the father of Jared, one of the largest property developers in the state of New Jersey, tax evasion, illegal political donations -all the Democratic Party, and document fraud.
One of the key pieces in the investigation was his brother, William Schulder .
When Kushner father found out, he hired two prostitutes for $ 25,000 to Schulder and seduced to have sex with him.Kushner recorded the sexual encounter and sent the video to his sister Esther.
Revenge only served to Christie plus a fee added to the list against Kushner: blackmail a witness . In 2005, Donald Trump consuegro was sentenced to two years in prison.
In 2010, Chris Christie ran as a Republican candidate for governor of New Jersey. Won.
He became the banner of the Republican center. His next step was the presidency . But there Trump crossed.
On 7 February, Christie left the race for the White House. And 27 became the first Republican candidate who explicitly and unequivocally supported the party Lazar, Donald Trump way.
His objective was clear: the vice presidency . His mistake was also evident: no thinking that Jared Kushner had not forgotten that he put his father behind bars.
Christie not only failed to mate, but has been dropped from the team of Donald Trump .
His future in New Jersey, beset by a huge scandal, is black. In fact, Christie is in danger of following in the footsteps of Charles Kushner ending up in jail.
Kushner knows the importance of having good relations.
Explains in his book The Prize of admission (the admission price) Pulitzer Prize Daniel Golden , he entered Harvard after his father donated to the University 2.65 million euros, in a covert operation that bribery is common in U.S.
So we know that access to Donald Trump is fundamental.
But unlike his father, Kushner does not need publicity.
Do not talk to the press. And while everyone is obsessed with what happens in the Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue, where the future president resides, Kushner directs the transition including vendetta against Christie a few blocks away from a building he bought for 1,700 million euros in 2007, just at the highest point of the housing bubble and take nearly bankrupt and destroy the family fortune on several occasions.
Kushner survived that crisis. And it has become the latest Trump . For now, the court advisor of the president. Perhaps, someday, his heir.
