Ever since he first announced his intention to run for president in 2015, Donald J. Trump has relied heavily on the advice of his daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner.
While President Trump is a strong conservative who has put America’s interests at the focal point of his administration, not much is known about the political views of Kushner.
Now, a new report suggests that the concerns conservatives had about Jared Kushner’s political ideology are in fact true, as he failed to disclose business ties he has with far-left billionaire George Soros.

From The Wall Street Journal:
Mr. Kushner’s stake in Cadre-a tech startup that pairs investors with big real-estate projects-means that the senior White House official is currently a business partner of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and billionaires including George Soros and Peter Theil, according to people close to the company.
The Cadre stake is one of many interests—and ties to large financial institutions—that Mr. Kushner didn’t identify on his disclosure form, according to a Wall Street Journal review of securities and other filings. Others include loans totaling at least $1 billion, from more than 20 lenders, to properties and companies part-owned by Mr. Kushner, the Journal found. He has also provided personal guarantees on more than $300 million of the debt, according to the analysis.
Kushner’s willingness to jump into business with the likes of far-left individuals like George Soros should concern supporters of President Trump. Soros is one of the principal financiers of some of the largest liberal organizations in the country, who seek to undermine and destroy the Trump administration through any means possible.
Kushner’s close ties to the left might help explain the ongoing feud between himself and White House adviser Steve Bannon who felt that Trump’s son-in-law was not a true conservative and would try and push the president to the left.
This new report shows that Bannon’s concerns were 100% justifiable, and conservatives should be wary as to the advice President Trump is receiving from his liberal son-in-law. President Trump should remember who it was that helped get him elected, and leftists like George Soros and Jared Kushner were not those people.
Given Kushner’s liberal connections, should President Trump distance himself from his son-in-law? Share your thoughts below!
