"On Marine One, Trump tells a story about how he tried to set up his daughter Ivanka with the NFL quarterback Tom Brady, only to discover that she was already dating some schmuck whose father had just got out of prison. This schmuck is Jared Kushner, who is sitting right there as his father-in-law laments what his daughter could have had. In front of the governor and future governor of California, Trump was making his son-in-law feel two feet tall."
"In light of this apparent failure to grasp the basic requirements of the ambassadorial mission and the honour of representing one's country, [Barrot] has requested that he no longer be allowed direct access to members of the French government, his ministry said in a statement on the matter."
Governor Gavin Newsom's memoir, Young Man in a Hurry, contains an account of a 2018 encounter between Newsom and President Trump on Marine One following California wildfires. During this meeting, Trump told a story about attempting to set up his daughter Ivanka with NFL quarterback Tom Brady, only to discover she was dating Jared Kushner, whom Trump dismissively referred to as a "schmuck" whose father had been imprisoned. Trump made these disparaging remarks directly in front of Kushner, deliberately humiliating him. Newsom characterizes Trump as a controlling patriarch whose approval is impossible to obtain. The incident occurs as Charles Kushner, Jared's father, faces scrutiny in his role as ambassador to France after being rebuked by French officials for failing to attend scheduled meetings.
