Jared Kushner's security clearance
has been downgraded.
Apparently Mexico
Israel
China
and the United Arab Emirates
have all discussed
how they could take advantage
of his complex business arrangments
lack of experience
and money woes.
Top White House officials
say Kushner was "naive and being tricked"
intimating that he has an inner kindness
and idealism
and must be protected from bullies
when really he is smug and ignorant
and a bully himself
and should never have had any authority
in the first place.
But whatever works.
Maybe we should do
the heretofore unthinkable
and take pity
on his father-in-law.
