Trump angry Kushner, Ivanka went skiing during health debate

    While the rest of his senior staff scrambled to squeeze votes for President Trump's flailing health care package, one person remained notably absent for most of the week: Jared Kushner.

    Along with this wife, Ivanka Trump, another key cog in the president's inner circle, Kushner was on vacation until Thursday, skiing with family in the posh Colorado town of Aspen. Paparazzi caught Jared and Ivanka taking leisurely strolls, enjoying ice cream cones with their three kids and winding their way down the slopes.
    Meanwhile, back in Washington, Trump was fuming. According to a source close to the president, "[Trump] is upset that his son-in-law and senior adviser was not around during this crucial week." Kushner did appear at the White House on Friday during the last gasps of the Obamacare repeal effort.


    A White House spokesperson flatly denied the President is frustrated with Kushner.
    But it was clearly a busy week at the White House. As the health care bill teetered on the precipice without enough Republican votes to pass it, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said the President "left everything on the field" in his efforts to get the bill passed. Republicans ultimately pulled the bill without a vote, a blow to Trump's early agenda.
    It has not been entirely clear what specific role Kushner, who has no Capitol Hill or Washington background, would have played in a legislative effort.
    When Ivanka and the kids took off for Aspen last weekend, sharing a ride on Trump's private 757 jet with Donald Trump, Jr. and his family and Eric and Lara Trump, Jared did stay behind in Washington. However, he only worked Monday, and by that evening was himself flying out to join the rest of the Trump clan. On Tuesday, an Instagram photo from Lara Trump showed Kushner and Ivanka on top of a mountain.
    And as the week wore on and it was clear back home on that Trump's cornerstone campaign pledge to repeal and replace Obamacare was floundering with lawmakers, Jared remained out West, leaving to Vice President Mike Pence, Steve Bannon, Reince Priebus and Kellyanne Conway the arduous task of selling the plan on Capitol Hill.
    Ivanka's absence this week was also noted; she Instagrammed important White House moments, mentioning support, but she wasn't at her usual place, seated at roundtable discussions, or standing beside her father's chair in the Oval Office. Instead, there she was in Aspen, toting her kids, wearing $585 Dior sunglasses -- and leaving her new West Wing digs vacant, opting instead for quality spring break time with her immediate family.

    Ski trip for @IvankaTrump & her family-of-five in Aspen, Colorado - http://bit.ly/2n1GROA

    Kushner's plan to stay out-of-office this week while the health care package faltered could mean he'll get some of the blame from his father-in-law. Trump is reportedly already pointing fingers at his top staffers for what he considers shoddy support. Or, Kushner could perhaps avoid the entire debacle; the Orthodox Jew typically stays away from work after sundown on Fridays

    This is classic rich kids that dont know what it is like to really work and ultimately don't do much.

    They are given titles and the appearance of jobs yet couldnt make it one week in a normal mon - fri 40 hour environment.

    They had been 'working' way too much for what they could handle ..and shows how much they care - their real importance they are taking off.. the most important days of trump presidency.first 100 days no less

    This reminds me of ceos son bolting whenever we do a software release or anyone is laid off.

    Its fake titles and figurehead positions. They have zero influence zero anything.

    I predict trump will burnout too.

    These people dont know how to work.

    My sister in law does the same.. Gets a job...looks like she is doing the job, then sure enough takes off because she is incapable of working.

    And here I was thinking maybe ivanka and her chumpy husband could do something to spell trump.. yet should have known they are rich spawn that is simply not capable of making it any amount of consecutive time.

    Sorta sad for trump..trump literally has no one. No wonder russians are using him and playing him.

    Imagine talking to melania about matters lol. And wait ivanka where is she lol? And her tag along husband? We need security clearance and a white house office yet would be a flipping miracle if she showed to the office for 15 mins.

    They were really into it that first month and a half. Already sneaking out at 11am like typical bosses daughter.

    I don't understand why Jared was released on all those CP charges just because he married a Trump.

    Lol. Not a very objective article. The bias is clear.

    That being said it is pathetic how Trump used his family in key places in the government.

    POTUS is looking into why Kushner is registered to vote in two states.

    Something is going on.

    The last people Congress care about are Jared and Ivanka.
