If Jared Kushner leaves, and I think he will, will Ivanka go with him?

[MineralMan]

Jared Kushner's problems are now embarrassing for the Trump White House, and it seems likely that he'll be stepping down and out shortly. But, what will Ivanka Trump do when that happens. Will she stay or will she go? On one hand, Daddy needs her by his side. On the other, well...Jared. What to do about Jared?

I say that it's far more likely that Ivanka will stay and wave wistfully at Jared as he takes his debt-laden portfolio and seeks new opportunities in the "private sector." If someone calls in his $1.5 Billion marker, we'll see Jared sitting in the underground Metro station near the White House, holding a tin cup and hoping for alms.

I don't think Kushner can stay. I think he is now a toxic gas in the White House. Bye, Jared. Best of luck in your future endeavors.

1. I don't see how he can stay, except...

he gains nothing on the outside. They have both been gifting within the WH, so any self-respect left would be minuscule compared to that as incentive.

[Happyhippychick]

2. Yes I think she will go with him

I'm not sure she sees that she has a future either with him or with her dad but I think she will go with him because of their children.

[MineralMan]

4. Could be, but I think there will be a serious loyalty issue

either way. Who has the strongest hold on her, financially and emotionally? The nanny can deal with the kids, as always.

[Happyhippychick]

7. With Jared she has a life outside of work, friends, etc.

I think that will be the bigger draw for her.

[MineralMan]

8. Well, I hope we get to find out.

And soon.

[Happyhippychick]

9. Me too. This is getting more delicious by the minute.

3. Ivanka will stay close to creepy daddy.

Plus, she's eyeing a leader of a country for future reference . . . .

[MineralMan]

6. She'll be in competition with Daddy's latest wife

on that country's leader, I think. Both of them have been seen casting a flirty side eye in that direction.

[Orsino]

5. The bonds of matrimony are the strongest.

She will ditch whatzisname in a heartbeat to stay with Daddy.

10. I think she will go with her husband and children. But, with both them gone and Hope Hicks -

I wonder if Trump will use that as an excuse to finally leave the WH.

[Demsrule86]

11. If he has lost his money, I doubt she will have any use for him.

And he may turn on Trump.

[MineralMan]

12. Could be.

Jared has always seemed to me to be walking a tightrope all the time. He looks like he's always worried about misstep.

[Demsrule86]

14. I read that charges are being pursued in state courts...this is true for many Trumpers who are

starting to realize...they could face trial in state court and lengthy sentences. Trump can't pardon state charges or convictions. I don't think Kushner will fall on his sword for Trump.

[ollie10]

13. I don't see him leaving

He is in desperate need of money for his 666 building. Without being in the White House cabal, his ability to use this to get money from folks wanting to buy influence dwindles. So he is stuck. If he were really loyal to Trump, he would probably resign rather to continue disgracing the White House....but that won't solve Jared's money probems

There is not a single person in the Trump family that is sympathetic. Jared is such a spoiled rich kid. Never had a real job in his life. Entitled. It will be satisfying to see him fall flat.

I doubt if Trump fires him. That would make his precious widdle Ivanka upset, and he wouldn't want that.

[First Speaker]

15. You have my thoughts and prayers, Jared...

[Javaman]

16. the money must flow!

she stays where ever the biggest payout will be.

grifters gotta grift.

and if jared gets the old heave ho, his problems really start.

and that adds up to loss of all sorts of contacts and cash.

so logic would dictate, ivanka give him a kiss on the nose and says, "I'll catch up to you" and slams the door on his ass. she will then stay on until things catch up to daddy, ahem, father and tries her best to slither her way out. with the cash of course.

but as I have written before, even hitler had his devoted followers in the bunker believing a miracle will save them via one of the fuhrers "secret weapons"

[Bayard]

17. Does she have a permanent security clearance?
