Mystery Solved: What Jared Kushner's Voice Sounds Like

So now we know what Jared Kushner's voice sounds like. And it cannot be unheard.

In a televised White House press conference Monday, Kushner — trusted Trump advisor, New York City real-estate tycoon, newly appointed overseer of the Middle East peace process and, until now, the ultimate silent type — opened his mouth and publicly emitted a sound for the first time since his father-in-law won office.

The sound became a word, then a sentence, then a concept (sort of). Behold:

Kushner's speech is remarkable not so much for its content, of course, but because the suppression of his voice has been so deafening for so long in a White House that otherwise hasn't been able to keep quiet about much of anything at all. America inevitably began to wonder: What's the boy king hiding behind that baby face?

Jon Oliver's increasingly popular theory: Nothing at all.

"Just because you don't talk does not necessarily mean you're thinking of something amazing," the comedian said of Kushner on his HBO show back in April. "It can just mean you're sitting in a meeting staring blankly at people's moving lips, thinking about why baby cats aren't called 'catten,' or whether old goldfish might have peanut allergies but since they don't ever eat peanuts, we'll just never know."

Now that Kushner's silence has officially been broken, though, no one really knows how to feel. Here are some choice Twitter meltdowns from Monday:
