In reply to the discussion: Trump becoming sour and dark as he turns against son-in-law Jared Kushner [View all]crazycatlady
(4,492 posts)25. As someone who works in politics
(Disclaimer-- I'm on the campaign side not the government side).
One of the first rules of thumb (ethics aside) is never to use family members (by birth or marriage) as your staff. At the end of the day (win or lose) they're still your family and you want to keep your relationships in tact. This is a tactic of separating politics from your personal life.
Jared's role will probably damage Trumpty Dumpty's relationship with his precious Ivanka.
