BloombergFormer White House chief of staff John Kelly said members of President Donald Trumps family serving on the White House staff needed to be dealt with as he sought to implement a more orderly process in the West Wing.
They were an influence that has to be dealt with, Kelly said Tuesday during an interview on Bloomberg Televisions The David Rubenstein Show, when asked whether it was complicated to have the presidents family working at the White House. By no means do I mean Mrs. Trump -- the first ladys a wonderful person.
Kellys remarks pointed to his long-running and low-simmering frustration with the role of the presidents daughter, Ivanka Trump, and her husband, Jared Kushner, in the White House. The Washington Post previously reported that clashes between the presidents family members and senior advisers came so frequently that the relationship became uncomfortable.

Im surprised Ivanka and Jared arent in charge of writing a big, beautiful, better-than-ever Constitution.

where the dump family can reside for a long time?

(345 posts)4. That's a notable omission, Mr. Kelly
Funny how he refers to the family as "an influence that has to be dealt with", which is a pretty neutral statement. But then goes on to point out that this doesn't apply to the first lady, who is a "wonderful person".
Kinda begs the question "what kind of people are the rest of the family?".....................

Come to think of it, they're the reason most former WH staffers have been fired in the last couple of years.

jacket to visit refugees is a "wonderful person." Not buying it.
