Donald Trumps daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner are under fresh scrutiny over their influence at the White House after a very public eruption of their feud with former chief strategist Steve Bannon.
In a gloves-off interview with Vanity Fair magazine, Bannon laid bare the mutual enmity with the senior advisers to the president, one of the worst-kept secrets of the Trump administration.
The railhead of all bad decisions is the same railhead: Javanka, he said, using a nickname that conflates the couple.
Bannon, who returned to rightwing site Breitbart News after being forced out of the White House in August, recalled an Oval Office meeting in which he accused Ivanka of being the queen of leaks. The first daughter allegedly retorted: Youre a fucking liar!

(36,404 posts)"It was Kushner who reportedly encouraged the president to fire FBI director James Comey, a move that could come back to haunt him during the investigation into alleged collusion with Russia in the election campaign. Bannon said: Its the dumbest political decision in modern political history, bar none. A self-inflicted wound of massive proportions."

(1,474 posts)A group of people this evil and this greedy can seldom be at peace among themselves. When one thinks they are superior to all others and believes they are entitled to whatever they can steal, is it a surprise they hate each other?

Ivanka cusses like a sailor.
Jared loved the limelight.
Jared and Ivanka are stupid and gave Trump bad advice (this one we knew).

(6,412 posts)He knew about the Russia collusion, but he's been out of the spotlight...thus far. He's trying to set himself up as an innocent bystander that got caught in the crossfire.
The asshole was smart enough to figure out how to get this bastard elected....and was smart enough to know the party was over.

Bannon, who supported Moore despite the allegations only to see him lose the Republican heartland to a Democrat, responded in the Vanity Fair interview: What about the allegations about her dad and that 13-year-old?

(11,885 posts)Isn't he the guy who backed the accused pedophile roy moore and trump, and met with the neo-nazi group in Austria while serving under trump? Isn't he the guy who hates everyone except himself and acts like trump does with extreme rhetoric and phony claims against others to gain attention to himself. Isn't this guy just another right wing extremist hate monger who has to attack others to make himself feel better about himself. He is the guy who looks homeless and looks like he has just dragged in from an all night bender who claims to know it all, and no one else does . These types are nothing but frauds, looking for there next mark. nothing more, and Javanka , they could be facing time for what they may be involved in. Time will tell , they may all be looking out from a prison cell door when everyone is exposed and held accountable for what they all have done. I think the American people are wise enough to not back such a horrible , and divisive hate monger like him, as they are now doing to this illegitimate President we have now. These types never last because of that, the people start seeing through their rhetoric, their lies, and their hate, and their propaganda starts to fail for them, again like its doing for this guy in office. They can't be trusted, for anything ,especially for their worse enemy, the truth.
