WASHINGTON: Former US President Donald Trump nearly fired his daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner – via a tweet – according to an upcoming book about the 45th president’s administration.

Quoting from an advanced copy of Maggie Haberman’s Confidence Man: The Making Of Donald Trump And The Breaking Of America, CNN said Trump complained that Kushner “sounds like a child”, when the 41-year-old adviser to the former president spoke publicly about testifying before Congress in 2017. The book reportedly notes that this was just one instance in which Trump spoke about Kushner in an unflattering fashion.
