NYT: Trump Laments That He Could Have Had Tom Brady, Not Jared, As Son-In-Law

By Alice Ollstein | July 28, 2018 2:00 pm

The New York Times reported Saturday that President Donald Trump’s relationship with his son-in-law Jared Kushner has deteriorated over the past few months, and that the president now routinely complains that “Jared hasn’t been so good for me” and that he could have had NFL star Tom Brady as a son-in-law instead. (Short-lived White House communications direct Anthony Scaramucci has claimed that Ivanka Trump and Brady briefly dated.)

Trump has reportedly told his friends and aides that he wishes both Kushner and his daughter Ivanka would return to New York.

Yet the Times reports that because Kushner has outlasted many of his critics and rivals in an administration plagued by factionalism, infighting, and gossip, he isn’t likely to head for the exits anytime soon. On the contrary, he may soon take a more public role, especially now that his security clearance has been restored after months of suspension due to questions about his foreign contacts and financial ties.

Kushner and Ivanka, however, have made little-to-no progress on the policy areas assigned to them, including the Middle East peace process and paid family leave.

While I hold no brief for Tom Brady, I think presented with the choice of Gisele Bundchen and Ivanka Trump, most men would go for the supermodel.

Trump is running scared now and he will sacrifice everyone around him to try and save his treasonous ass. Jared certainly knows stuff that can take down Trump, but he's not family, not blood kin, and he will be thrown under the next scheduled bus.

I guess if Trump couldn't date his own daughter then he wanted Tom to do it for him.

Poor Jared, not even second best.

I thought Jared was his golden boy? Besides, what makes him think Tom Brady would have ever wanted to have married into that horrible family. I think he's pretty happy right where he is.
