“But at the same time it is not the Kushner show either.”
I’ve worked for family owned private companies and public companies where the CEO had members of his family working. In my experience nepotism is bad for the organization, the leadership, and the family member regardless of whether the family member is competent or not.
The reality is Jared Kushner and daughter Ivanka do not have a monopoly on moderate and leftwing points of view. Trump can hire plenty of people around Washington to balance Bannon. The NYT and WP and CNN will give him plenty of left wing perspective.
Jared and Ivanka have no experience in government, politics, the military, or foreign affairs. They bring no credibility, gravitas, or expertise to the party no matter how smart and intelligent they may be. Press reports that Ivanka convinced Trump to bomb Syria due to children dying do not strengthen the president with supporters or opponents. Jared prancing around in a suit in Iraq with the military in Iraq does not help Trump with voters disappointed he isn’t getting healthcare reformed, taxes lowered, the budget completed, the wall built, or spending reduced. Certainly Ivanka’s advocacy for a big new entitlement, government paid child care, is a huge distraction and irritant when health insurance premiums are out of sight and those of us buying health insurance in the individual market in some states are looking at the prospect there will be no providers in our state in 2018 (down to 1 now).
Send Kushner and Ivanka back to New York where they can run their businesses and party with the liberal elites like Ivanka’s buddy Chelsea Clinton.
I agree. It is really difficult to work with the boss’s children.
Don’t these two have multi million dollar businesses to run?
