Who do Jared and Ivanka think they are?
By Michelle Goldberg
As political actors, the couple are living exemplars of the Dunning-Kruger effect, a psychological phenomenon that leads incompetent people to overestimate their ability because they can’t grasp how much they don’t know. Partly, the Jared and Ivanka story is about the “reality distortion field” — a term one of Ward’s sources uses about Kushner — created by great family wealth.

Among the most interesting parts of “Kushner, Inc.,” are the chapters about Charles Kushner, Jared’s felonious father, and his plan to restore his reputation, with Jared’s help, after getting out of prison in 2006. Part of that rehabilitation project was the purchase of a flagship building in Manhattan, 666 Fifth Ave., for which the family paid a record amount at the height of the real estate market in 2007. When the recession hit, the building became a white elephant, its debt threatening the family fortune.

They aren’t indicted by Robert Mueller, that’s who they aren’t.
LOL. I had exactly the same first thought after reading the thread title (before clicking on the thread).

Thanks though Clarallel for including the Houston Chronicle link. There was a link for another story on that linked page...for Justin Verlander's new Astros deal (which I hadn't heard about)....$66 million for two years (the 2020 and 2021 seasons). There have been two sports deals in the last 5 years that made me so happy I literally jumped pretty high off the ground.....when the Warriors first signed Kevin Durant, and when the Astros got Verlander from the Tigers, injecting a post-Hurricane Harvey Houston. And he lead the team through the playoffs and World Series to this city's first World Series Championship.
They think they are special people who go through life getting the red carpet treatment irrespective of their qualifications or capabilities. Now they get to play Government with Daddy. Wheee! So FUN.
