Kushner told coworker Trump knew birtherism was a lie but ‘Republicans are stupid and they’ll buy it’

In an explosive interview, former New York Observer Editor-in-Chief Elizabeth Spiers said that President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and White House senior advisor Jared Kushner told her that Trump never believed the “birther” conspiracy theory, but found it effective because “Republicans are stupid and they’ll buy it.”

Melber asked Spiers on Sunday about Kushner and his famous father-in-law’s embrace of “birtherism” — the conspiracy theory that former President Barack Obama was born in Kenya and was not a U.S. citizen and to confirm something she revealed in her writing.

“I told jared I was particularly appalled by his father-in-law’s birtherism stance,” Melber read from Spiers’ essay. “He rolled his eyes and said, ‘He doesn’t really believe it, Elizabeth. He just knows republicans are stupid and they’ll buy it.'”

“He really said that to you?” Melber asked.

“Yeah,” Spiers said.

Trump will rerun in 2020 as a Democrat, disown all the decisions of his previous presidency as the work of the 'Deep State', praise Obama and say he withdrew from Paris because it didn't far enough. And the Zuck will be his running mate.

There were only 4 possibilities:

1. Trump was lying from the beginning.
   
2. Trump is outstandingly stupid.
   
3. Trump is a total racist.
   
4. Some combination of 1,2, and 3.

Most stories that involve 'sources close to Ivanka and Jared' are actually planted by Ivanka and Jared to make themselves look better.

Maybe not stupid but full of single issue voters and people silly enough to be duped by trickle down economics. Trumps a bit of a simpleton himself so he would sum it up in one word like stupid.

The GOP base is chock full of voters who chose the party for one reason. Guns, pro-life, religious freedom, etc. They may adopt other parts of the ideology as they go along but you can generally figure out the one reason they vote Republican pretty quickly. Most of the time they look at that one issue so much they ignore a lot of other policies.
