Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon celebrated Chief of Staff John Kelly’s ability to prevent Ivanka Trump from influencing her father through unscheduled emotion-laden visits to the oval office.
“Those days are over when Ivanka can run in and lay her head on the [president’s] desk and cry,” Bannon told multiple people, according to The New York Times.

I suspect Pres T will - and perhaps already has - realized that in this case his family must come second to what’s best for his policies for America.
And Breitbart's new head editorial guy is..........?
I take it as a warning.
Pull left with Cohn, Powell, Mcmaster and Javanka and we will help you get impeached
I honestly don’t understand any of it.
He seems to see Ivanka as some kind of quasi-first lady/ambassador/women’s outreach coordinator.
And, Jared’s portfolio is bigger than any Cabinet member’s at this point. With Bannon gone, it’s possible that Jared is not the second most powerful man in the country.
So, he clearly thinks highly of their capabilities, because the two of them combined have a ton of responsibility.
At the same time, he clearly ignores them pretty regularly - particularly on social issues.
And he doesn’t seem to care that they are under pretty relentless attack from his most fervent nationalist supporters.
I don’t think there is a grand strategy here, but if there was one, it’s like he intentionally set up a lightning rod for right-wing criticism within his administration. So, when he does stuff the Breitbart crowd doesn’t like, they blame the kids.
But that seems unbelievably cynical even for Trump.
And it doesn’t fully explain the fact that Miller seems to be all that’s left of the Breitbart crowd now.
If there is some grand plan between Trump and Bannon, it would be for Bannon to leave and attack literally EVERYONE in the cabinet but spare Trump.
Which you’d think would shut the Left up, as they’d much prefer running against a threatened Trump than a Pence with 2yrs under his belt.
Maybe that’s the purpose.
you’re the ignoramus for believing it ISN’T so.
But that seems unbelievably cynical even for Trump.
Don’t go that way on me! I’m a Trump supporter from day one. I don’t need your comments. I have an opinion and it’s allowed on this site!
Mission accomplished: the execrable NYT got a bunch of FR chickenpluckers to believe its fake, unsourced news.
Ivanka and Jared need to go back to running their businesses.
Again, on what grounds?
Winner, winner, chicken dinner! Best post award goes to the sgt.
The Trump show is to keep the MSM chasing their tails, while get things done; the cancelling of the El Salvador, illegal alien kids program, as an example.
Of course your opinion is allowed, I never said it wasn’t. However, what are you basing your opinion on? Do you have an inside connection to what really goes on in the WH between the Trump family, or are you just projecting worry from something the NYT, WaPo or CNN wishes were true? Give any thought that it’s all made up garbage to get Trump supporters to “worry” needlessly? i prefer to withhold judgement until evidence (credible) shows otherwise.
Do not care to dialogue with you period!
You are milking it to death!
Nice...your convincing argument with incontrovertible evidence is overwhelming.
Sadly, this is so for Jivanka.
I don’t see Don Jr and Eric in there trying to change Daddy’s agenda.
Ask Bannon.
Ivanka and Jared need to leave the White House.
She’s been tweeting. Is out West on vacay with the fam.
