OPINION:
That the ubiquitous former Trump adviser Steve Bannon believes Donald Trump Jr. and Jared Kushner are idiots is hardly surprising. But they hardly redeem Bannon for his lack of character assessment in the Judge Roy Moore affair. Donald Trump Jr. and Kushner are silly, pompous nincompoops who are godsends to Saturday Night Live. They are a couple of empty Armani suits, overindulged by a president who should know better.
The meeting that the younger Trump and Kushner had in June 2016 at Trump Towers with the equally ridiculous Boris-and-Natasha knockoffs who promised some Kremlin-sourced dirt on Hillary Clinton was stupid and amateurish, but hardly treasonous. If the American republic is so fragile that its security could be undermined by any actions of these two then we are genuinely in peril.
President Trump was elected by millions of Americans fed up with the kind of Washington nonsense epitomized by the Mueller investigation. Trump won despite being surrounded by folks like the self-promoting Bannon, Donald Trump Jr., Kushner et al. In fact, the more we find out about the rollicking Trump campaign, the more impressive and authentic President Trump’s election victory appears.
