A government shutdown would seem like a time when the president's two closest advisers would be working hard in DC. Instead, they're working hard making promotional appearances at his business.

What better time for a sunny vacay than when the government is shut down? Such is the logic of senior adviser/presidents daughter Ivanka Trump, who was photographed out and about at her fathers Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago. Trump went full-Florida winter while out with her husband, fellow White House employee Jared Kushner, and their three children, wearing a strappy green dress and straw hat. Tis the season!
While the rest of the cabinet members as well as Donald Trump remained in Washington, D.C., during the shutdown, which started over the Christmas holiday, Ivanka and Jared appear to be doing . . . something in Florida. According to the White House, Kushner was a critical part in negotiating the shutdown, working with Vice President Mike Pence and Office of Management and Budget director Mick Mulvaney in the hopes of avoiding the shutdown, which is currently in its fifth day.
Ivanka did take time to wish all her Twitter followers a Merry Christmas! xx, so its safe to say shes keeping busy during her downtime. While she may not be hitting the office with the rest of her Washington cohorts, shes at the very least not taking phone calls from children and asking them if they still believe in Santa........................

Clearly, she has already donated the side panels off her dress to some poor furloughed federal employee... AND she managed to tweet Merry Christmas! xx, as well? What more could you possibly ask of her?
