Trump has a meltdown when asked about Jared and Ivanka Trump distancing from him
Former President Donald Trump wasn't pleased when he was asked about his relationship with his daughter, Ivanka Trump, and his son-in-law Jared Kushner.
During a recent interview with Intelligencer's Olivia Nuzzi, the former president was asked if his daughter and son-in-law could have been more resourceful in helping him to maintain distance from the media firestorm surrounding Kanye West.
Based on Trump's fiery response, he wasn't interested in discussing his now-distant family members. According to Nuzzi's report, Trump's inner circle has grown noticeably smaller as he is now down to only one adviser who has admitted that: "He just goes, plays golf, comes back, and f--ks off. His world has gotten much smaller. His world is so, so small.”
Following Trump's controversial dinner meeting with white nationalist Nick Fuentes and Kanye West, according to Nuzzi, Kushner was asked if he'd be willing to help the former president navigate through the media firestorm. But Kushner reportedly declined, saying something to the extent of "Look, I’m out. I’m really out."
When Trump was asked if he still needed the couple, he reportedly fumed.
"Without his daughter and son-in-law to turn to in the wake of dinner with Ye and Fuentes, Trump was left to defend himself on his preferred platform, Truth Social," Nuzzi wrote as she added that Trump told her, "Kanye West called me up, and he wanted to know if I could meet him because he has a lot of problems. And I did that. He brought some people that I didn’t — Nick Fuentes — who I didn’t know at all. We sat down, we had a very quick meal. It wasn’t two hours, as somebody said. It was a very quick meal, it went very fast."
When pressed about the issue, Trump said, “I don’t need anybody’s advice! I don’t need any advice! I’m pretty good. I think I’m pretty good at doing advice."
However, Nuzzi didn't back down. "If he was so good, why did he have dinner with an anti-semite?" she reported that Trump told her.
“I had dinner with a very troubled man who was asking for help, and I didn’t know his views on Israel because I don’t study Kanye," she wrote. "I didn’t know that Kanye said anything negative about Israel because it’s not exactly something that I would be in a position to know.”
