Donald Trump, 36, and his son-in-law Jared Kouchner, 38, are senior White House advisers, despite their lack of experience in government consultations and lack of political backgrounds, the Daily Express reported.
However, according to a report in The New York Times, both sides have stepped up their control of the White House. "The insider's attitude is that they are now running the building," a Trump assistant told the paper.
The White House expert, Ron Klein, described the couple as "behind-the-scenes forces," who operate beyond normal accountability.
The newspaper pointed out that many advisers hate Ivanka and Jared because of their suspicious behavior in Washington, where they act as if they are "distinguished" already, and said one of the "veterans in Washington," said that "What is disgusting is that they do not realize the lack of importance mainly.
"She's trying to control you with her charm at first," says a former adviser, speaking of Ivanka. Others say the "first daughter" is not paying attention to staff who do not support the president.
The former White House chief of staff, John Kelly, did not seem to like Ivanka, which also points to Kouchner's maneuver and his ascension to higher ranks in the White House.
The New York Times reported that this was one of the reasons why Kelly left office by the end of this month. Even if it was not clear whether Kelly had resigned or was forced to resign, his relationship with Trump was so tense that some insiders claimed That rumors are circulating that the current secretary of Vice President Nick Ayers would be an alternative to Kelly, but it turned out that Ayers refused the offer, creating a new uncertainty in Trump's management, which saw 28 chapters of service or resignation this year.
