I thought it should have been Rudy. I’ve heard Rudy interviewed, and I feel like Rudy was up for the job and thought he would get it after all his hard work. When it wasn’t automatic and Trump brought in a lot of people, Rudy didn’t want to be part of the cattle call and removed his name.
Just a guess but it sure looks like Jared felt threatened by Rudy and pushed Tillerson instead. He’s building a rep for booting long time Trump supporters. Christie is another one where rumors are floating around that Jared pushed him out. That kid is way out of his “league’ and bad news, IMO.
I haven’t heard anything regarding Rudy and Jared. I know there were issues with Jared and Christie because Christie prosecuted his father at one time and ended up putting him in jail. I do think the family helped influence Trump’s pick of Pence (which was a good pick). However, I had heard at the time that Christie was passed over for VP that he would get AG. He wanted VP and didn’t get it, and then he was passed over for AG. I read he was offered Homeland Security (as was Rudy apparently), but he turned it down. I don’t think Christie was treated fairly. He endorsed Trump very early and stayed by him.
As far as Jared, he is a very trusted advisor to Trump. My understanding is that he built a data operation which was very key to Trump’s victory.
“and bad news, IMO.”
yep, more bad news about President Trump from you. Gosh, how surprising!
