One of Donald Trump’s nephews On Tuesday, Jared Kushner stated his intention to devote himself fully to his business endeavours and claimed he has no intention of participating in a second Trump administration.
Kushner stated at an Axios event in Miami, “Nothing in my life has gone according to the plans I’ve set, and that’s been the only consistent thing,” before stressing that he has been “very clear” about his intention to concentrate on his private equity firm “at this phase” of his life.
During his father-in-law’s administration, Kushner was a top advisor. Upon his departure from the White House, he entered the financial sector and established Affinity Partners, an investment firm based in Miami.
On Tuesday, Kushner expressed his satisfaction with being “out of the spotlight” since he and his wife, Ivanka Trump, were no longer involved with the White House following her father’s departure.
“My investors, my firm, my employees, and my partners are my first priority, and that’s what I intend to do,” he added.
Kushner responded “yes” when asked explicitly if he would decline his father-in-law’s offer of an administrative position. During his third run for president, Trump has had “time to really reflect,” he added.
Kushner stated, “I think that the team around him is maybe the best he’s had,” in reference to Trump’s current government. He went on to say that if Trump were to be elected again, his White House would be even more competent and professional than the last.
According to Kushner, Trump’s first attempt for president was a “outsider running” during a “family campaign.” However, he would have the opportunity “to build an absolutely remarkable team based on the people who are available” this time around.
Afterwards, Kushner dismissed worries about Trump administration staff once more, claiming that inappropriate individuals were “weeded out” and that “underneath the waves… water was calm” despite the mayhem surrounding certain individuals.
The toxic atmosphere inside the Trump White House was laid bare in Kushner’s 2022 memoir, which exposed the savage infighting among his father-in-law’s staff from the very beginning of the administration and the far-reaching effects of animosity and mistrust on all facets of government.
Kushner had a hand in almost every policy initiative that Trump’s administration pursued while in office. These included the border wall, immigration, relations with China, criminal justice, U.S.–Mexico–Canada trade deals, the Middle East, and, finally, the handling of the coronavirus.
With the mission of updating government technology, Kushner oversaw the White House Office of American Innovation.
Kushner was politically inexperienced before joining the White House staff. He was the chief executive officer of Kushner Properties, the real estate company that belonged to his family.
