President Trump has called his senior adviser, son-in-law Jared Kushner, "a tremendous asset...throughout the campaign and transition."
However, their close relationship may be going through some challenges, according to a recent Vanity Fair report.
The piece states that "according to a source familiar with the situation, Kushner's influence on his boss may be flagging."

One instance cited by Vanity Fair is the abrupt cancellation of Trump's meeting with Mexico's President Enrique Peña Nieto, which Kushner had reportedly spent numerous hours trying to negotiate.
According to writer Emily Jane Fox, a source said about Kushner, "I'd never once heard him say he was angry throughout the entire campaign. But he was furious."
In addition to issues surrounding Mexico, Kushner, an Orthodox Jew, has also been blasted for working on behalf of an administration that recently barred refugees when his own grandmother was a Holocaust survivor.

In fact, Trump has indicated that his son-in-law could help brokering peace in the Middle East, citing his family background, but critics have pointed out the Kushner is too inexperienced for the task, reports The Guardian.
Meanwhile, his wife Ivanka has also been under fire for posting an Instagram picture of her and Kushner dressed in fancy clothes as protests about her father's immigration order grew.
According to USA Today, she has been accused by many on social media as being "tone deaf."

AOL and Vanity Fair.
I’d rather read about JLo and her space alien baby.
5.56mm
ain't that the truth .. lol
Seeing as how this news is being presented by AOL, I think fake news is more likely the case.
more fake news, seriously these parasites in the media just make it up and then run with it
President Trump should make an address on live TV, have the names of reporters, have the names of these media outlets, give some evidence , and tell the public how the media are just lying and if they need ot know anything then research it themselves or go to the White House page.
AOL news? Seriously?
why the hell are freepers posting this crap and the fake polls still.
Has not nearly everyone in this country learned it is all crap, hell NBC admitted they get their news from the NY Times and never checked it, but ran with the story.
“according to a source familiar with the situation”
They don’t know anybody in the Trump inner circle, this is made up.
We seem to be somewhere near May 1859 . . .
I thought AOL were out of business
The rift is just to the left of his hand. :=)
Talked to a bunch of people who some have not even voted for President Trump and they too are fed up of these liberal babies crying ,and stalling.
They just want the country to move forward without moaning everytime the President does something.
Vanity Fair - Not Fair
if that’s a rift, I wouldn’t mind having it!
Every single thing is going to be so blown in to histrionics in regards to Trump. This will be a very enjoyable 4 years of watching the liberals completely melt down.
The Donald may want to listen to classical music while Ivanka wants to listen to classic rock and the press will make it out to be they are having terrible fights and Donald Trump is so outraged he’s going to nuke Slovakia.
Fake news AND gossip.
Blah, blah, blah. More fake news.
Why don’t the MSM participants get together and draw up a template of the fictional stories they want to write? They could save some time and energy.
Fake news source repeating another fake news source. From Anchor (lie), to narrative construction and then a fake meme.
