Jared Kushner Says Trump Wanted to Bury the Hatchet With Hillary Clinton After Spending All of 2016 Calling for Her Imprisonment – Vanity Fair

Remember when Donald Trump was running for president the first time and, outside of declaring Mexicans rapists and criminals, devoted his entire campaign to calling for Hillary Clinton to be prosecuted and sent to prison for her emails? And regularly encouraged the lock her up chants from his supporters? And told his opponent, at the second presidential debate, that if he was in charge of the country youd be in jail? His son-in-law, Jared Kushner, would like people to know that after winning the election, he tried to be friends with HRC but she blew it.

The Hill reports that in his new memoir, Breaking History, which was described this week by The New York Times as nausea-inducing and like watching a cat lick a dogs eye goo, Kushner writes that the most divisive president in US history genuinely wanted to help the country unite in the days following the 2016 election. As such, Trump supposedly tasked Ivanka Trump with getting in touch with Chelsea Clinton to arrange a get-together with Bill and Hillary. The Ivanka outreach, Kushner says, was meant to convey that Trump had no intention of looking backward and hoped to have a cordial relationship with Hillary to unite the country. Recalls the former first son-in-law: He even told Ivanka to invite Hillary and Bill for dinner in the coming weeks.

What, pray tell, would Trump have said at this dinner, in order to convey that he was willing to bury the hatchet he spent the entire campaign swinging at Hillarys head? Kushner doesnt get into details but presumably something along the lines of, Hillary, you lost really, really big. And even though people, many people, are saying I should throw you in prison, which would be my right as King of America, Im not going to do that. Youre welcome, Hillary.

Unfortunately, as it turns out, that dinner never came to pass. While Kushner claims that Ivanka did make the call to Chelsea, days later Hillary backed [Green Party presidential nominee] Jill Steins challenge to the election, and Trump ended his outreach. Then he proceeded to spend the next six years insisting that Clinton was a criminal, a theme that got plenty of airtime during his second run for the White House, despite Hillary not actually being his opponent.
