The future president had a warning for Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump when they made the decision to leave their life in New York City to work for him in his White House: “You’re too young, too slim, too affluent, and too beautiful looking.” They’ll have you in their sights.
Kushner mentions his father-in-remarks law’s in his most recent book, “Breaking History,” a copy of which DailyMail.com was able to secure. It will be released on Tuesday and costs $35 at retail.
The 512-page book chronicles the relationship between him and Ivana, daily life in the Trump White House, and the 2020 election’s aftermath, including Trump’s unsuccessful attempt to reverse Joe Biden’s triumph.
Throughout President Trump’s four years in office, the couple served as his advisers. They frequently came under fire for either not doing enough to check the president’s more outlandish ideas or for the various issues they worked on, including criminal justice reform, the opiate epidemic, and immigration.
Kushner’s illness concern, his reaction to the Capitol Hill uprising on January 6, his work on the Abraham Accords in the Middle East, and his ties with Saudi Arabia have all been extensively covered in previous writings about the book.
Kushner writes about his wife and three children in the book, even though the most of it is about his work time in the White House.
Kushner said how he and Ivanka were debating whether to go to Washington, D.C., and work for the Trump administration while strolling around Trump’s Bedminister golf club with their children after the 2016 election.
According to Kushner, the two believed they could support Trump’s success without having any ulterior motives and had a unique understanding of how he operated. However, they were aware that moving to Washington, D.C. would require them to give up their businesses and risk being accused of “nepotism.”
After that, he talks about how his publicist contacted him as they were walking to inform him that Kushner was moving to the White House to spearhead efforts for Middle East peace.
That’s bulls***, Kushner allegedly said. We haven’t decided anything yet. Whom are they quoting?
Answer: “Your father-in-law.”
He observed it was Trump’s method of making a job offer to him. The couple made the choice to agree. They stayed in the White House’s Lincoln bedroom on the inaugural eve. Kushner adds that he was permitted to utilize the office that was closest to the Oval Office.
Kushner was well recognized for his tight bond with his father-in-law and for being allowed to enter the Oval Office on a walk-in basis. His detractors said he meddled in every matter he could and produced nothing during his four years in Washington.
Jared Kushner claims in the book that the White House has a “target on its back” for him, and that when he complained to Trump about it, the president responded, “Jared, this is the White House. You must learn how to prevent others from leaking information about you if you want to work here.
However, Kushner begins the book in New York, where he recounts his father’s arrest and incarceration. It describes his beginnings in the family real estate company as well.
Kushner claims that since they both worked for their dad at the time, their first date with Ivanka really began as a business meeting.
The two men’s talk, however, “quickly went to NASCAR, New Jersey eateries, and other strange hobbies that we shared in common” during their meal.
He remarked, “Ivanka was not what I anticipated.” “She was friendly, humorous, and bright, which I knew before we met, in addition to being arrestingly gorgeous. She has a large heart and a great curiosity in everything.
He acknowledged that he was in love with her but was concerned about their contrasting religious beliefs. So he ended their relationship.
A few months later, Wendi Murdoch, a mutual acquaintance, asked me to spend a week with her and her husband Rupert Murdoch on their yacht. At the time, News Corp. was the parent company of Fox News and the Wall Street Journal.
He recalled being shocked to learn Ivanka had received an invitation to the Mediterranean trip as well.
Kushner likens their reunion on that voyage, which happened while Murdoch tried to buy the Journal, to a scenario from a motion picture:
On that Sunday, Rupert left the table while we were eating lunch at Bono’s home in the French Riviera town of Eze. He returned and said, “They blinked, they accepted our conditions, and we have The Wall Street Journal,” whispering in my ear. After lunch, Bono and Irish singer-songwriter Bob Geldof performed while Billy Joel, who had also been on the boat with us, played the piano.
To “make our Friday dinners together even more memorable,” Ivanka would convert to Judaism and pick up cooking.
Donald Trump leaked the news that Kushner was going to surprise Ivanka with a proposal.
In order to get Ivanka’s attention, he allegedly went to Trump Tower and “said that I planneed a surprise engagement.”
Later, I discovered that Trump had called Ivanak’s intercom just after I had gone and warned her to anticipate a proposal soon.
Kushner brought Ivanka to see Wicked on Broadway while his brother Josh decorated his flat with rose petals and lighted candles. He made his request in front of his flat door.
He ends his story by stating that working with Ivanka for four years in the Trump administration “brought Ivanka and myself closer together.”
He says of Ivanka, “While many wondered about her motives, she never had any political aspirations.” Ivanka is my closest friend and collaborator, and there is no way I could have made it through my four years in Washington without her.
