https://www.businessinsider.com/kushner-stopped-trump-attacking-murdoch-2022-7"Jared Kushner said he stopped Donald Trump from attacking Rupert Murdoch, according to new memoir".
"When Trump first entered politics in 2015, Murdoch was openly critical of him, once tweeting: "When is Donald Trump going to stop embarrassing his friends, let alone the whole country?"
"Kushner writes that he visited the media mogul in July 2015 after Trump became enraged by a New York Times story about Murdoch's dim view of him."
"'Rupert, I think he could win,' I said as we sat in his office. 'You guys agree on a lot of the issues. You want smaller government. You want lower taxes. You want stronger borders,'" Kushner writes."
"Kushner said Murdoch appeared to be surprised that Trump was serious about running and the next day called to tell Kushner he might have been "misjudging" the situation. He actually does have a real following. It does seem like he's very popular like he can really be a kingmaker in the Republican primary with the way he is playing it," Murdoch told Kushner, according to the book."
* I hope he has better stories than this one or his book will be next to Kellyanne's in the garbage can within a week.

: . . . She notes, [Ivanka] also found a way to be near Trump when he received phone calls from foreign dignitaries---while she still owned her business
While Ivankas behavior was irritating, Kushner was playing a game on a whole different level: he was playing for serious money
at the time of the Qatari blockade
Kushners family had been courting the Qataris for financial help and had been turned town. When that story broke
the blockade and the Trump administrations response to it suddenly all made sense. (Pg. 156) . . . . "
