Who Is Jared Kushner? – Donald Trump's Son-In-Law and Ivanka's Husband

How did Jared Kushner become the president's right hand man? Short answer: a lot of money. Justin Long (Dodgeball, Idiocracy) explains the full story on the Kushner family's influence helped Jared go from Harvard University to running the Observer to advising the Trump Administration on foreign polcy.

Who is Jared Kushner? He started out a simple rich boy of a New Jersey real estate developer Charles Kushner who was the son of immigrants. He was also one of the top Democratic party donors in the country. He also made large donations to institutions of higher learning Harvard — incidentally where Jared went to college. He later attended NYU, which coincidentally came coupled with another large donation to the school.

His father was later sent to prison and Jared took over his empire. The Kushner company sold $1.8 billion in real estate before the housing collapse. He started dating Ivanka Trump, another child of real estate greatness. He also got close with Rupert Murdoch who had a story about his father being killed. Over the next few years, his media and real estate ventures started floundering — but then his father-in-law decided to run for president.

Jared joined his campaign and became an integral part of many important decisions. He even would allegedly listen in on phone calls that Trump was making, but the recipients of the calls wouldn’t be made aware. Since Trump's victory, Kushner’s previous business dealings started to conveniently flourish. He remains a senior advisor in the Trump White House.
