But if Ivanka Trump and Kushner, socially liberal former Democratic donors, remain influential voices with Trump on personnel decisions, they have so far had little effect on his policies. --- kin to all that throbs ... Copied to Clipboard!

i don't see the point of articles like this Mostly damage control for the narrative that Ivanka and Jared would keep Trump from being insane. I still have no idea where that idea even came from, honestly. --- Aeris dies if she takes more damage than her current HP - Panthera http://signavatar.com/26999_s.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

Before the election a lot of conservative women (who were still concerned about women's issues that the right seems to ignore) seemed to think that Ivanka would be the voice of reason to the President, that appears to be out the window.

I mean, Ivanka basically let the media paint her as a "moderating influence" because it worked in her favor. She really only has herself to blame for only now pointing out the narrative never had any basis in reality.

![]() Speaking of the transgender ban, if this article is correct evidently not even some conservatives actually wanted a total ban, just a ban on the treatment for them using defense funds.

hmmm, I took it as a fairly negative piece about her, but I guess it is weird how they're framing it as her winning back credibility as though there was ever any evidence of her being able to accomplish something

I wondered why that narrative was being pushed so hard, myself. that was presumptuous on a WTF level. but look how many people on this board regurgitated that rhetoric so heavily.
