THE 800-POUND GORILLA in Trump's inner circle.

The GOP establishment has never been more out of touch with the grassroots and are becoming increasingly irrelevant, with their treasure trove of money buying them less and less favor with a constituency who cares more about putting America First than the golden calf of gross domestic product.

Sounds good, right? Until you're told that Jared Kushner is the 800-lb gorilla. I'm willing to listen to the argument, but it strikes me as more innuendo than fact. And I'm reminded that Kushner was instrumental in bringing the Abraham Accords to fruition.

I do agree that President Trump made a serious mistake in not kicking out all the Obama appointees on Day One of his administration, but I also think that the author's disparagement of Nikki Haley, Betsy DeVos, Jared Kushner, and Ivanka Trump is a bit over the top.

Read it all and make your own determination.
