Quote of the Day

January 16, 2020 · 7:24 am ET · Leave a Comment

“One thing you have to remember when you work for President Trump is that you don’t make the waves. He makes the waves. Your job is to surf the wave as best as you can every day. And you have to always smile and have a sense of humor with it, because he’s the one who’s got the instinct.”

— Jared Kushner, quoted by Time.
