Of course, Jared the unelected, unconfirmed back channel to all the world's worst leaders. With a towering conflict of interest or 10.

@ Quora.com, a site used a lot by students, on the page where there are answers to the question Why did Louis XIV say "l'état, c'est moi"? What does it mean? I noted that under "Related Questions" someone put Is Donald Trump an anachronistic Louis XIV? No one answered it yet, though.

An illiterate Louis XIV with really shitty taste in gold leaf? Call Trump the Son King. "Apres moi le délude".
