I was against this Trump/Ivanka/Jared menage a troix from the gitgo. It's nothing personal against the Kushners. It was just bad political thinking, bad optics, a distraction to the President's initiatives..... and Ivanka and her husband will continue to be targeted by the Left for nepotism and more for the next four years without let-up.
Every thing the President does will be open to the charges that Ivanka and/or Jared "put it into his ear", mark my words. The Left is already doing it...and it will continue without cessation.
All family advice to President Trump should be confined to the breakfast table or his office, figuratively speaking. This was done during the campaign and should have continued this way. I'm well aware of the reasons Trump appointed the duo to his inner security circle....but the downside of the scenario will continue to overcome his good reasons for the two appointments.
The drumbeat will continue on and on, from liberals and conservatives alike (due to the Kushner's liberal leanings).
Unfortunately, this unfolding situation is akin to the message excerpted from an old proverbial saying....it will be the "gift that keeps on giving".

You nailed it, Leni.
I don't think anyone here hates Jared and Ivanka. Those of us expressing misgivings about her and her husband's appointments to the President's inner circle, are doing so for very pragmatic and sensible reasons.
The longer it takes for them to prove themselves to be real assets, the harder it will be for them to continue in their current roles.
Ivanka is doing fine. Jeered by liberals? That is what the left does. After losing all 3 bastions of power and the SCOTUS as well, what else can the liberals do except protest?
I agree.
