Kushner’s floor is serene, and features a bubbling fountain. Contrastingly, visitors to Kushner’s office on the top floor of 666 Fifth Avenue, which his family purchased for $1.8 billion in 2007, pass under a Noguchi-designed wave-like ceiling in the building’s lobby. Trump is the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee for president Kushner comes from a well-known Democratic family (in fact, his own father’s former tormentor in New Jersey, Chris Christie, is now essentially his father-in-law’s right hand).įurthermore, Trump’s style could be characterized as a steroidal version of Las Vegas, as designed by Uday Hussein. Trump has run a campaign based, in part, on racial undertones Kushner, on the other hand, is an observant Jew. Outside of their involvement in the real-estate business, Kushner and Trump appear to be opposites. On some level, the specter of Kushner campaigning beside his infamous father-in-law seems rather improbable. (In the end, his efforts were unsuccessful and Trump skipped the debate.) Roger Ailes “down to the wire” in the days preceding the controversial Fox News debate, in January, attempting to broker a peace deal between his father-in-law and the network.
And it was Kushner, according to someone with direct knowledge of the conversation, who was on the phone with Rupert Murdoch and Fox News C.E.O. Earlier this week, The New York Times called him a de facto campaign manager, a position he assumed after he, along with Ivanka, reportedly urged the ouster of Trump’s impetuous manager Corey Lewandowski. But the 35-year-old real-estate scion has recently emerged, alongside his wife, Ivanka Trump, as one of Trump’s key advisers. Kushner, through a publicist, declined to comment on the incident, and for this story. The initial draft of his speech, rather notably, had only one word in its file name: Jared, seemingly a reference to Jared Kushner, the presumptive nominee’s increasingly influential son-in-law, who reportedly had lent a hand in writing this speech. And rather than speaking extemporaneously, as is his custom, he was reading prepared remarks from a teleprompter. Trump, who has often been flanked at larger campaign rallies by his wife and extended family, was alone. The return of the steel business, he promised, would send a new generation of skyscrapers “soaring, soaring” into the sky. Trump would simply utilize his experience in the real-estate business to turn around the moribund American steel industry. Standing beside his Great Wall of Cans, Trump bashed NATO and globalization, among other organizations and inexorable forces, before honing in on his quixotic plan to single-handedly revive Monessen’s fortunes. This particular factory, after all, had once employed hundreds of aluminum workers these days, however, it relied on about 35, who largely prepare the metal for recycling.
In late June, Donald Trump arrived at a factory in Monessen, Pennsylvania, and stood before a wall of crushed cans to discuss one of his favorite topics: trade.
