Kim Kardashian Is Visiting President Trump At The White House

We always say culture and politics are connected. Nothing demonstrates that quite as well as this.

Kim Kardashian has a scheduled meeting at the White House coming up. She’s going to speak to President Trump. Yes. Really.

I didn’t know this, but Kim K has supposedly been discussing prison reform with Jared Kushner for “months.” On Wednesday, she’ll make her way to the West Wing, meet with Kushner and proceed to the Oval Office, where she’ll sit down with POTUS himself. She’s ultimately going to “make a legal argument to President Trump for why he should pardon Alice Johnson, a 62-year-old great-grandmother serving a life sentence without parole for a first-time drug offense.”

Again. We’re talking about GREASY BUTT KIM.

More than 21 years after Johnson went to prison, Kardashian came across Johnson’s story on Twitter earlier this year and reached out to Ivanka, who connected her to Kushner, according to the source. In an interview earlier this month, Kardashian said that, if given the opportunity, she would “explain to [Trump] that, just like everybody else, we can make choices in our lives that we’re not proud of and that we don’t think through all the way.”

OK, but of all people, why Kim?????

The Kushner-Kardashian summit marks something of a turning point for the First Son-in-Law. It will be Kushner’s first major act since he was granted a permanent, top-level security clearance last week, after more than a year of negative headlines about why his clearance had been delayed and then downgraded. Among White House tea-leaf readers, the news was received as evidence that perhaps Kushner’s legal exposure in Robert Mueller’s investigation might not be as severe as many had believed it to be, and gave credence to the idea that his standing in the West Wing might be somewhat restored. Those in Ivanka and Kushner’s social orbit in New York joked with each other about how much money they stood to lose on various bets they had made over when Kushner would be indicted by Mueller.

I know you’re dying to know this, so I’ll just tell you. No. Kanye won’t be there. However, there are rumors that he’s going to have a meeting at the White House at a later date, so don’t you worry.

Oh. BTW. Ivanka and Jared “plan to host Kardashian for dinner at their home after her presidential sit-down, a private evening with the most famous sibling of America’s other First Family.”

Can we not do this?
