Jared Kushner negotiated selling tens of billions of high tech weaponry to the Saudis, and then ended up with a bunch of Saudis renting empty apartments in his failed real estate project, at the same time he got a $2 billion check from the Middle East.
Ivanka negotiated trademarks with China at the same time she was literally in China with her father’s government negotiating Chinese trade deals.
They made over $100 million while they were working in the White House.
And this never concerned you?
- jacobn 4y agoNot the person you asked, but both seem like they should be cause for concern…
- ducktales 4y agoI'm sorry, where was the Trump clan mentioned in the parent or GP post? Whataboutism does not contribute to the discussion, and it is presumptuous to assume the original poster does not find those things concerning, as well. To me personally, both are very concerning, and it's exhausting to me that the political class gets a pass on this behavior
- notahacker 4y agoWhataboutism is relevant when the story is a carefully orchestrated dump of a mixture of real and false information by one political faction intended to swing an election with a "Vote Sideshow Bob for President" message. There's not much doubt that Hunter Biden got board seats because he could brag about his deep understanding of and connections with the top level of US politics, and that he used illegal drugs extensively, but we knew that without the laptop.
- pstuart 4y agoThe laptop story is the original whataboutism. Again, the whole point of the laptop story is to smear the opposition and anybody who is concerned only about corruption in one party is not really concerned about corruption.
- baskethead 4y agoYes, it is a concern.
