Chief Enablers

March 11, 2019 · 9:01 pm ET · Leave a Comment

The New York Times reviews Kushner Inc. by Vicki Ward, a book about Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.

“She portrays Ms. Trump and Mr. Kushner as two children forged by their domineering fathers — one overinvolved with his son, one disengaged from his daughter — who have climbed to positions of power by disregarding protocol and skirting the rules when they can. And Ms. Ward tries to unravel the narrative that the two serve as stabilizing voices inside an otherwise chaotic White House, depicting them instead as Mr. Trump’s chief enablers.”
