Why 'toxic' Ivanka thinks SHE could be President:

Young, attractive and wholesome-looking with their little children running around at their feet, White House ‘First Daughter’ Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner were seen by Trump opponents as the acceptable face of the presidency.

Trump’s self-proclaimed feminist daughter, 37, and her mild-mannered husband, 38, would, it was hoped, exercise a moderating influence on her bombastic father’s worst impulses.

When it became clear the fashion industry entrepreneur and multi-millionaire property developer would both have key roles in the Trump administration, many in Washington raised a silent cheer.

Not everyone whispering into the President’s ear would be a swivel-eyed white nationalist lunatic, they reasoned. At least there would be two people there with some sort of moral compass.

Now the gloss has come off the couple dubbed ‘Javanka’ with a new book — Kushner, Inc. — that portrays them as what one insider called a ‘toxic mix of arrogance and ignorance’. To that, the book says, can be added an insatiable lust for power that’s ‘caused havoc all over the world’ thanks to their huge sway over the Trump administration.

Far from reining in Mr Trump, the pair — who both hold unofficial, unpaid but clearly hugely powerful White House posts — have encouraged his excesses, the book claims.

Ivanka Trump is so arrogant, in fact, says Vicky Ward, author of Kushner, Inc., she believes she may one day be president, too.

According to the book, Gary Cohn, once a key Trump official as director of the National Economic Council, has told people Ivanka believes her father’s tumultuous reign is ‘the beginning of a great American dynasty’.

Her husband is equally deluded, according to the book.

Dubbed the ‘Secretary of Everything’ by colleagues due to his meddling in pretty much every area of government, he and his wife live in what one of Ward’s sources describes as a ‘reality distortion field’ created by the huge wealth of their respective families. Neither of them, says a member of Mr Trump’s legal team, has any ‘idea how normal people perceive, understand, intuit’.

Ivanka was mocked by White House staff as ‘Habi’ — ‘home of all bad ideas’, claims Ward, who clearly had no trouble finding members of the Trump administration, past and present, ready to stick the knife in.

None appears to have any time for the overbearing and widely loathed couple. The view is that, just like Mr Trump, the Kushners were fixated by image rather than substance, and showed an alarming lack of interest in the details of government policy.

White House insiders believe Kushner — whose property tycoon father, Charles, was once jailed for tax evasion and illegal political campaign contributions — was responsible for the controversial decision to close White House visitor logs in April 2017, ending a tradition that let outsiders scrutinise who the President was talking to. Sources told the author Kushner ‘didn’t want his frenetic networking exposed’.
