Trump and Jared Kushner are trying to distance themselves from former President
Donald Trump over his constant complaining, a report has claimed.
According
to 12 former Trump administration officials and friends of the family, the gap
between Mr Trump and his daughter and son-in-law is growing wider as he
incessantly complains about the 2020 election, sometimes for hours on end.
CNN reports
that a big reason why the distance is growing is Mr Trump’s unwillingness to
move on from his past grievances.
Mr Trump
has also started to put Mr Kushner’s role in his presidential legacy into
question.
Ivanka
Trump wants a less complicated life for her family and is trying to leave
behind the difficulties caused by four years in the White House, two
acquaintances told CNN. They said she has to balance between embracing her
father but not endorsing his lies about the 2020 election.
“They
weren’t around for the usual spring and summer events at Mar-a-Lago,” one
family friend told the outlet, referring to Ms Trump and Mr Kushner.
“He was kind
of like a parent who sticks around less and less each morning while they’re
transitioning their kid to daycare,” one person told CNN of Mr Kushner’s
relationship with Mr Trump.
People who
know his thinking say Mr Kushner wanted to stay away from Mr Trump’s constant
remonstrations and the support he was receiving from the “array of characters
around him”. The person close to Mr Kushner said he “still speaks on the phone”
with Mr Trump.
A person
who recently spoke with the former president told CNN he complained about a
book deal that Mr Kushner acquired, worried that his son-in-law would use the
book to take credit for Mr Trump’s achievements.
Mr Trump is
reportedly jealous of the book deal, which according to a Kushner associate is
worth seven figures and was struck with Broadside Books, the conservative wing
of HarperCollins.
After a
road trip, Mr Kushner and Ms Trump will arrive at Bedminster with their kids
and be closer to the former president than they have been since he left the
White House.
Allies of
Mr Kushner say he’s “not at odds” with Mr Trump. A friend of Mr Kushner added
that they have a “good relationship, but [Kushner] is not anywhere near his
political orbit”.
