That said, it seems like the president's son-in-law may not be the sharpest tool in the shed. Vanity Fair compiled a list of Kushner's most recent blunders.

While the president seems to believe that his daughter and son-in-law are eminently qualified to work in the upper echelons of the U.S. government, here, as a reminder, is what the Boy Prince of New Jersey actually brings to the table:

• A penchant for f--king up paperwork, having screwed up his financial disclosure form 39 times;

• What we assume is a plaque emblazoned with the title “World’s Worst Real-Estate Developer,” having paid $1.8 billion for an aging Midtown skyscraper on the eve of the financial crisis (the family company, Kushner Cos., was finally able to offload the thing this summer, but that doesn’t change the fact that buying it was, as they say in the biz, “a dumb as s--t idea”);

• The sort of delusional self-confidence that allows a person with literally no foreign-policy experience to think that he is going to be the one to bring peace to the Middle East;

• Seemingly as many business conflicts of interest as his father-in-law;

• The rotting carcass of a once-successful newspaper he ran into the ground;

• An upcoming Congressional investigation into his close personal relationship with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who the C.I.A. says ordered the assassination of a U.S. resident.
