Non-essential personnel furloughed to Palm Beach
by digby
In case you wondered who is minding the shurdown while the president is staging a lame photo-op in Iraq, at least we can feel relieved that it isn't those two.
Ivanka Trump rang in the holiday on Tuesday by stepping out for a stroll near her family's Palm Beach Estate.
The first daughter walked hand-in-hand with her husband Jared Kushner on Christmas Day wearing a slinky long green spaghetti strap dress around Mar-a-Lago.
But Trump teamed her item, ideal for the Florida sun, with a full straw straw visor hat embellished with a black ribbon to accommodate her bun hairstyle.
The blonde teamed the items with casual flat sandals and her spouse followed suit with the relaxed dress code, donning a white T-shirt and cap, blue shorts and flip flops.
Accompanied by a Secret Service team, Trump clutched a pile of books as the men helped her cross the road.
All members of her group shielded their eyes with dark sunglasses in the images obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com.
But as was evident earlier in the day, they made no attempt to keep a low profile.
Why would they? They love to get written up in the gossip pages.
They are top senior advisers but obviously not essential personnel. Maybe they should just stay there.
