Kushner cleared over 2 billion in post presidency deal while ivanka made 640 million.
If The Trump family is saving the country this is a pretty backwards way of going about it.
How is this not corruption in the trump presidency and laundering money through his family in basically the same way the biden crime family did?
Edit: Strange that is such an outrage over a legitimate topic. Almost as when twitter bots unanimously attack a target. Id say we're over target with this one.
You have to look near the bottom of this thread for any legitimate posts. Buried by childish rage, willfully ignorant posters, and a conceited, self righteous, egomaniac mod whos attacking his own community.
Kushner's family are open zionists. Trump pardoned kushners father. Trump's daughter is married to a zionist, globalist, jew. Who just recieved a 2 billion dollar investment through his fathers presidential connections. The crime family just changed faces. If people can curb their man crush on trump and consider what is really happening here for a second.
People seem to be under this impression that this is unusual. It's not. Their entire business revolves around commercial real estate. Kushner (The company, not Jared) typically invests in a mixture of mid and high tier markets (Everything from Rural Mississippi to Manhattan). The higher end buildings are VERY expensive. Those are the type of investments where you typically can't get a single loan to cover all of your costs.
This is where "alternative funding" comes into play. And EVERYONE in this business does it. It's REALLY common for sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, private equity funds, etc. to allocate large amounts of money to commercial real estate developers in place of conventional mortgage companies. At that point it's less of a leveraged investment and more a commercial syndication, but I'm getting technical now.
Basically, CRE developers use these types of investors instead of taking out a half a dozen large mortgages from various lenders, because they're the only ones that can throw around that level of cash and be happy with a lower return. They're typically not looking for massive returns, they're looking for low-mid sized returns that are SUPER stable and reliable. And real estate, specifically commercial real estate in American population centers, is one of the safest, and most stable cash flowing assets in the world. Even in the current economic climate, Office, the currently most distressed CRE asset class, is still at roughly 80% occupancy and growing as people are forced back to the office by their employers. (Anyone telling you office is dead is fooling themselves, but that's an entirely different conversation).
So this isn't unusual, it's just more media hype to make it look like Trump and his family are doing something evil and unethical by following the industry norms.
This has been the only legitimate, non snowflake, critical thinking response so far. Thank you for that.
The problem i have is that this is EXACTLY the hunter biden situation. Trump's son-in-law receives a 2 billion dollar investment deal through his fathers saudi connections with little to no investment experience?
And they say only crooks get rich in politics.
You don't have a very solid understanding of the Hunter Biden situation, at all, if you think Kushner and Ivanka getting paid for a business deal is "the exact same" as what Hunter was doing with our US tax dollars being laundered to him, and 'the big guy.'
Kushner joins Afinity, (burisma), a private equity firm with no experience in private equity, like hunter with energy. Both profit greatly through their father's connections.
Insert "these two images are the same" meme.
Not the same. https://www.law.com/dailybusinessreview/2022/01/20/jared-kushners-investment-firm-hires-former-trump-staffers/?slreturn=20220312153254
Kushner has experience with big money investments from his prior job. And Affinity was not even a company until after the 2020 election, with the deal being made 6 months after Trump was out of office. You clearly do not understand what influence peddling is, and therefore cannot see that Kushners deal is in no way illegal.
However, even if you could show proof that Trump used US tax payer money to legally fund Affinity it still would not qualify as anything illegal because the deal happened after Trump was out of office. Therefore, no influence peddling, and not the same as the Hunter&Big Guy Burisma deal.
