Family Ties
It was believed that Trump’s family was more of a burden for him than a help. He chose to hire many of his family to work alongside him in the White House. This move had proven itself unfitting and now had affected his Presidency in some way.
Jared Kushner and wife Ivanka Trump saw their status in the White House slowly decreasing over time.
They now had far less security clearance than when they took up office and could find themselves possibly leaving the White House.
Trump thought the attacks on Kushner were unfair and often lamented this.
“I think he’s been treated very unfairly,” Trump said. “He’s a high-quality person.”
“Only a son-in-law could withstand this sort of exposure and not be fired,” said Jennifer Palmieri. “Kushner’s vulnerable and in an accelerated fall from grace. Even though his departure would leave Trump even more isolated, a decision could be made that it’s just not worth it for him to stay.”
Palmieri, former communications director for President Barack Obama felt that his connection to Trump was what kept him there. Else he would have gone long ago.
