"Get rid of my kids"

President Donald Trump told his incoming White House chief of staff John Kelly in 2017 that his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner were so lacking in media savvy that he wanted them to move away from Washington.

‘Get rid of my kids; get them back to New York,’ he told Kelly, according to a new book about the Kushner family.

Ivanka and Jared supported bringing in Kelly, a temperamentally ironclad retired Marine Corps general, to whip the West Wing into shape after six months under former Republican Party boss Reince Priebus.

But ultimately he and Donald Trump turned on them, agreeing that they would find a way to force them to resign so the president could put them on a plane back to Manhattan.
