About

#KushnerAtWar is a hashtag referring to a series of photographs of White House Senior Adviser and President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner visiting Iraq. The pictures depicting Kushner in a suit and bulletproof vest are generally accompanied by jokes about Kushner's wealth in juxtaposition to war.

Origin

On April 2nd, 2017, Jared Kushner landed in Iraq[1] to meet with military officials regarding their fight against ISIS. Two days later, while visiting Qayyarh West Airfield in Iraq, Kushner was photographed wearing sunglasses and a bulletproof vest while wearing a blazer, button-up shirt, and khakis. Many online found the dichotomy between Kushner's physical appearance and his surroundings a reflection of his inexperience regarding military situations, despite being an adviser on such matters.

On April 6th, a backlash regarding Kushner's attire in the photographs started on Twitter. Users online found Kushner's dress inappropriate.[2]
