Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner Go on Vacation During Shutdown

Senior White House advisers Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner are on vacation in Florida amid the government shutdown, the Daily Mail reports. The couple is staying at Mar-a-Lago, the Trump family estate in Palm Beach. Ivanka has been spotted strolling near the estate and jogging with a Secret Service tail. Last week, the White House said Jared was critical to shutdown negotiations. The president and other cabinet members remain in Washington, D.C., during the government shutdown. Ivanka and Jared are in Mar-a-Lago with their three children, as well as Ivanka’s younger brother, Barron. Donald Trump Jr. and his five children are also in Palm Beach.

but either not with them at that moment, or the photographers are restricted from taking pix of the kids.

usually a blackout on publishing pictures of the kids. Since they are too young to run with her, she is without them. Jogging with them in a jogging stroller is probably "forbidden" by SS as too risky.

We don't have front plates in Florida like they do in many other states. I had to put a front plate on one of my cars when I moved up to Massachusetts for a couple of years. When I moved back I put Blackbeard's pirate flag on my front plate. I've seen quite a few cars in South Florida with European style plates on the front bumper. You can put pretty much any plate you want on the front bumper if you register your car in Florida.

Jarvanka look agitated like he is “in their face” and they are trying to ignore him but I’m sure that isn’t the case because the secret service would have that guy eating pavement before he got within 50 feet.

. . . is the way all of their legs look. Jared looks like he's got alien like lumps all over his legs and both the unknown guy and she have what appear to be the worst cases of varicose veins in history.

Just a odd photograph.
