This is me doin a Franklin Pierce post:
Charles Kushner tells friend that Trump’s behavior is ‘beyond our control.’
Charles Kushner, the father of President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, admitted in an email to a close confidante on Wednesday that the president’s behavior was “beyond our control.”
Bob Sommer, a longtime Kushner family friend who once represented the family real estate company, Kushner Companies, erupted in anger at Mr. Kushner, who last month received a presidential pardon from Mr. Trump.
“I’ve texted jared as well,” Mr. Sommer, who served as president of the Observer, wrote. He urged his former client to please “get trump to be an American” instead of an expletive.
Mr. Kushner did not dispute his characterization of the president. “Got it and beyond our control,” he replied, according to a copy of the email exchange obtained by The New York Times.
Mr. Sommer also texted the president’s daughter and Jared Kushner’s wife, Ivanka Trump, after she referred to the protesters as “American patriots” in a Twitter post Wednesday. Mr. Sommer wrote that he was “horrified I attended your wedding.” She did not respond.
