Kushner has one genuinely valuable insight, but the rest of his assessment of international relations is preposterous.
’ book critic, merrily pulverized the tome in a widely quoted pre-pub review, trashing the author’s “earnest and soulless” prose, his “thoroughgoing lack of awareness,” and his persistent, absolute fealty to Donald Trump, whom Kushner served as the nation’s first-ever White House adviser-cum-son in law. “Reading this book,” Garner mused, “reminded me of watching a cat lick a dog’s eye goo.”For roughly half of its pages, Garner is spot on: the book is at best annoying, at worst repellent.
” Rex Tillerson, Trump’s first secretary of state, was such a mismatch, Kushner writes, because he “wanted to manage the world’s problems,” whereas Trump “wanted to disrupt the ways of the past and change the world.” He doesn’t consider the possibility that managing problems, a hard enough feat, is as much as any leader can do these days.
