I don't assume anything, nor do I post delusional, factless opinions re what will or won't happen. That's what others do, but NOT what I am won't to indulge in.

Ivanka should have NO position, NONE at all, in this administration and frankly, neither should her husband !

President's wives have ALWAYS had their ears; however, children and other relations need to be out of the picture completely! It looks bad and usually ( HILLARYCARE, anyone; Michelle's insane lunch program ? )turns into a disaster.

You clearly assume something, to so stridently oppose the involvement of these two individuals in the Trump administration—absent evidence of any nefarious influence thus far.

By all accounts, Jared Kushner was integral to the success of his father-in-law's campaign last year. I don't think he now holds the position he does in the administration simply because he's Ivanka's husband.

As for Ivanka, she should hold whatever position in her father's administration which he feels she can competently perform. While not perfect, I trust the President's judgement on his staffing, based on what I've seen so far.

There aren't many people in Washington that the President can trust. Why should it come as any surprise that he would include his daughter—someone he's obviously very close to and who he's comfortable with—in his administration?

Even if Ivanka serves no other purpose, at least the President can hear contrasting viewpoints from a friendly and sincere source.

Thus far, President Trump has shown a strong tendency—indeed, an overwhelming one, for good or ill—to be his own man, including being able to resist the wheedling of his daughter.

Based on the facts I've seen thus far, I have no dogmatic belief that Ivanka should be either in or out of the Trump administration, so I'm willing to defer to the President's judgement on this point, because he should have precisely the advisors he wants, presuming the appropriate security requirements can be met.

Obviously you feel very strongly about your opinion, but I see no reason why expressing a differing opinion—on this particular issue—should elicit any hostility.

Nopardons has a hyperventilating, paranoid, and delusional take on all this stuff more worthy of DU. A lot of the Ivanka haters here are the same.

If you try to engage them, they will show you their crazy side. And it ain't pretty.......
