Donald Trump Says If His Son-In-Law Can't Negotiate a Peace Deal Between Israel and the Palestinians, Nobody Can

I can understand thinking your son-in-law is a great guy. What I can't understand is this sort of thinking:

If you can’t produce peace in the Middle East, nobody can,” Trump told Kushner, who has been tapped as a senior advisor to the new president. “All my life I’ve been hearing that’s the toughest deal to make, but I have a feeling Jared is going to do a great job.”

To be clear: Jared cannot produce peace in the Middle East. As of now and for the foreseeable future, nobody can.

How I wish that that was how President Trump saw it, too.
