President Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, and Trump’s son in law Jared Kushner, visited the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier on Saturday morning after completing talks with Iran on Friday.

Kushner and Witkoff were invited to visit the carrier, which is part of the Lincoln Carrier Strike Group, by the commander of US Central Command, Admiral Brad Cooper, a senior US official told CNN. The intention of the trip was to express gratitude for the American service members in the region, the official added.

Witkoff wrote on X after the visit that he, Kushner and Cooper “met with the brave sailors and Marines aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, her strike group, and Carrier Air Wing 9 who are keeping us safe and upholding President Trump’s message of peace through strength.”

“We thanked the sailors and Marines, observed live flight operations, and spoke with the pilot who downed an Iranian drone that approached the carrier without clear intent,” Witkoff wrote. “Proud to stand with the men and women who defend our interests, deter our adversaries, and show the world what American readiness and resolve look like, on watch every day.”

What position in government does Kushner hold?
Kushner holds no confirmed or even unconfirmed position in the federal government. In fact he is a private business person that appears to, by all accounts, be using his family ties to enrich himself and the trump family.

I mean Hunter Biden was dragged over the coals because Republicans said it appeared he was using his family name to sell his artwork.

At the very least that is what Kushner is doing for a fact.

Also, why is the commander of central command inviting a low level functionary and the SiL of the president to hang out in a combat zone on an aircraft carrier?!?

6. And this is the guy who could not pass the requirements for a security clearance because

of possible compromise or conflict of interest. So, yeah, let's send him all around the world, sticking his greedy fingers in and shaping our foreign policy while Trump sits on his fat ass and ankles and tries to stay awake.

7. Kushner visited the carrier . . .

. . . which now qualifies him to become Secretary of the Navy.
