Kelly questions what Kushner, Ivanka Trump do all day: report

Source: The Hill




BY JACQUELINE THOMSEN - 03/05/18 08:40 AM EST

Chief of staff John Kelly is reportedly frustrated with White House advisers Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump and questions what the couple does during the day, The Associated Press reported Monday.

Sources told the Associated Press that Kelly is angry with the pair, claiming that they are responsible for Trump changing his mind on policies at the last minute.

He also questions what the couple does all day and is upset by their “freelancing,” according to the AP.

The report comes after Kelly limited Kushner's access to sensitive information following a review of White House staffers' security clearances.

Don't believe for an instant that they care about any Democratic principles. Just like Trump, they just cozy up to whoever they feel can benefit them. And in NY, that is largely Democrats.

US visas, passports, citizenship etc. - that was what they tried to sell last year.
Also they're probably looking to make commissions on hotel sales, like the other 2 grifters, Junior and Eric.
For all we know they were probably selling classified info - top secret stuff - but now they're cut off from that.

Does Kelly honestly think that THEY are the biggest problems around there? Neither has top security clearance any longer, so they presumably won't have intel that foreign adversaries can obtain. Mueller is shining a spotlight on their self-dealing, so presumably any foreign power with a lick of sense knows the jig is up and won't loan them any money.

Having said that, I sincerely hope that tRump does NOTHING BUT poop-tweet and golf until his massive arse is hauled out of our house on a fucking rail.

"As I told Jared days ago, I have full confidence in his ability to continue performing his duties in his foreign policy portfolio including overseeing our Israeli-Palestinian peace effort and serving as an integral part of our relationship with Mexico," he said. "Everyone in the White House is grateful for these valuable contributions to furthering the president’s agenda. There is no truth to any suggestion otherwise.”

I'd say the concepts of "peace in the Middle East" and "our relationship with Mexico" are both in the toilet!

Good work, Jared!

using the office to make money, money, money. even when they're on state business they're still working the personal money angle. this is also true of the president. and we the taxpayers are stuck with the bill.

…..if they would just be more professional and more clever at their grifting.

After all, he works for the Grifter in Chief. The only problem for Kelly is that their incompetence interferes with his own career-grift, if you see what I mean.

Namely, Trump’s family will have him thrown out.

Mr. Kelly, you wonder what Jared and Ivanka do all day. It is very simple: they’re the president of the United States. Donald Trump is a figurehead. His purpose for being in the White House is to sign the few bills Congress feels like writing. Jared and Ivanka are making all the decisions, and Kelly doesn’t know this because the world would come to an end if he did. This is why Trump spends a third of his time on the golf course and another third on Twitter...they don’t let him do anything because they know he can’t.
