Why Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner Left Donald Trump’s Campaign – SheKnows

[ad_1]

When it came to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner’s support for Donald Trump’s third presidential run, there was a clear breaking point in the relationship. The former president’s friendship with Kanye West seems to be the nail in the coffin for the couple showing even a hint of interest in another political campaign.

Ivanka is running away from Washington, DC after feeling her time in the White House hurt her socialite reputation, but Kushner kept one foot in the door — until Donald Trump’s dinner with Kanye and White nationalist Nick Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago in late November. According to New York magazine, Kushner “refused” to help his mother-in-law once he realized how bad the dinner looked. Donald Trump’s daughter and son-in-law are modern Orthodox Jews, so hanging out with the rapper, who shares his horrific anti-Semitic views, has warmed the former president to many Hot water.

Kushner wasn’t going to save him this time. “He was like, ‘Look, I’m out. I’m really out,’” a source told the magazine. And even though he appeared at Donald Trump’s campaign announcement, the “mixed message” reflected “a combination of having to respect a family member and drawing clear lines for your life.” That “family obligation” is about as far as Kushner goes. As for Ivanka, she found all of her father’s political ambitions “very sad.”

As for Donald Trump, he tried to downplay his involvement with Kanye and Fuentes. “We sat down, we ate quickly. It’s not two hours, as someone said,” he explained. “It’s very fast food; it’s very quick. It’s pleasant. Nothing was said about any great import. And that was the end of that. Suddenly the press just made a fake story about it.” However, the damage was done and Ivanka and Kushner weren’t going to try to save him this time.
