Ivanka Trump is senior adviser to the President for women’s issues and her husband Jared Kushner is a senior adviser for strategic planning. While the President has given Jared one of the most influential jobs in the world, he seemed to be rather disappointed when Ivanka first married him. He mentioned several times that he would have preferred her to wed the quarterback for the New England Patriots of the National Football League.
According to 2016 book ‘Kushner Inc’, he used to say to his friends “Why couldn’t she have married Tom Brady?"
“Have you seen how far he throws a football?"
A highly successful sportsman, Mr Brady has played in nine Super Bowles and won six of them, the most of any player in NFL history.
Mr Trump once joked to Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, that: “Jared is half the size of Tom Brady’s forearm."
He made this awkward snub to his son-in-law in front of Trump Organisation colleagues.
It appears Ivanka’s choice of husband was not the only fly in the ointment for Mr Trump, though.
He was also rather taken aback when she converted to Judaism in order to marry into the Jewish Kushner family.
He reportedly said to his political aide Sam Nunberg: “Why should my daughter have to convert to marry anyone?”
The wedding, which was in keeping with conservative Jewish tradition, “shocked” the real estate mogul.
Ivanka’s dress covered her shoulders, women were given shawls when they arrived and the sexes were asked to dance separately several times during the night.
What’s more, Mr Trump had less than complimentary things to say about Jared’s father, Charlie Kushner.
Charlie, also a real estate tycoon, had a dramatic fall from grace in the 2000s when he was caught fudging his company’s accounts and illegally paying politicians.
