Pelosi Calls Kushner, Trump Son-In-Law, a 'Slumlord' VOA News Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Thursday called U.S. President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, a "slumlord" because of the poor conditions of housing he owns in Baltimore. These were Pelosi's first public remarks since Trump called the part of her hometown -- represented in Congress by Elijah Cummings -- "a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess" and a "very dangerous and filthy place. No human being would want to live there." "The president -- this comes as no surprise -- really doesn't know what he's talking about," Pelosi told reporters. "But maybe you could ask his son-in-law, who's a slumlord there, if he wants to talk about rodent infestations." .
