This photo story by a Navy veteran about Jared Kushner's trip to Iraq is pure gold.
I recommend taking a look at it.

Yes, let's all hope he had a nice time visiting the war.

To Trump, the Presidency is just another family business designed to amass the Trump fortune, and his followers are ok with that. At least he has the support of 33% of the country, and that's enough.

Classic photo journal of a privileged a-hole, with absolutely no military experience whatsoever, showing up on the outskirts of a military operation zone for a photo-op, so he can tell people when he gets back to the states about his visit to the war zone and expound upon his 'experience' with the men and women in uniform sacrificing in Iraq.
What a bunch of BS ! Not exactly my idea of putting Jared, Don, jr., and Eric at the tip of the spear.
I'd like to see Jared go through a little advanced training in Little Creek, VA. That would be a great photo-op, and good for a laugh.

BAGHDAD (The Borowitz Report)—
Jared Kushner said on Tuesday that he became “incredibly well-informed” on the Middle East by reading up on the region while waiting for the ski lift on a recent trip to Aspen.
“There would be times when you’d have to wait five or even ten minutes for the ski lift, and that’s when I’d take out my phone and read up on the Middle East,” he said. “I really got into it.”
Kushner said that the Middle East was a “truly fascinating region” because of “all the countries that they have there.”
“There is Israel, and Egypt, but there is also Yemen and places like that,” he said. “Sometimes I would start learning about a new country, but then the ski lift would come.”
Kushner said that, during a meeting on Monday in Baghdad, he “wowed” the Iraqi Prime Minister, Haider al-Abadi, with knowledge that he had gleaned about the nation while waiting for the ski lift.
“I told him that Iraq’s main agricultural products include wheat, barley, corn, and rice,” he said. “He seemed really surprised that I would know things like that.”
“Something else that’s interesting about the Middle East is there is a country called Jordan,” he added.
Kushner’s wife, Ivanka Trump, said that her husband’s ability to learn so much about the Middle East while waiting for the ski lift was “nothing short of amazing.”
“Jared is such a quick learner,” Trump said. “He reminds me of Daddy.”

Any military people ACTUALLY FIGHTING in the Middle East have to cringe when they see things like this where it is basically just a photo op.
