As is obvious from the last couple of days, the NY Times is trying to spin Donald Trump as moving toward the center. Although reading Thomas Friedman is a painful experience, I checked his op-ed column today since its title was "At Lunch, Donald Trump Gives Critics Hope". Poorly written as usual, it was filled with bromides along these lines. This one really had me laughing out loud:
->Speaking of the Middle East, Trump said unprompted: “I would love to be able to be the one that made peace with Israel and the Palestinians,” adding, “I have reason to believe I can do that.” And he hinted that his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, could be his special envoy and “he’d be very good at it. … He knows the region.” (Wow, watching Trump try to forge a deal between Bibi Netanyahu and the Palestinians would be pay-per-view!)<-
In fact, this is complete bullshit. Kushner has lined up the disgusting Shmuley Boteach to semi-official status as Trump's court Jew as well as hiring him to wrote columns for his NY Observer, a one-time liberal weekly that is to the right of the NY Post now. This is a useful article on all this:
