Who's the boss?

From the Huff Post: (slightly edited by me to remove a sentence or two)
President Donald Trump is reportedly irritated that his top adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner took a family ski vacation to Colorado while the GOP’s Trumpcare health plan was going down in flames.

Kushner and wife Ivanka Trump and their three kids were photographed hanging loose in Aspen this week as Trump and congressional Republican leaders worked in Washington to save their Obamacare replacement. The measure failed to gain enough support to pass the House and was withdrawn before a vote on Friday.

CNN, citing an unnamed source close to the president, reported Trump was “upset that his son-in-law and senior adviser was not around during this crucial week.”

The White House denied Trump was angry at Kushner, but it was clearly an all-hands-on-deck kind of week. Even the president skipped his customary weekend trip to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

Kushner joined his family in Colorado on Monday, after they had already left for a ski vacation, according to CNN. The trip included Donald Trump Jr. and his family, and Eric Trump and wife Lara.
Do government employees generally get to take a week off after two months on the job? And wouldn't they have to get the boss's permission?

We are in the twilight zone with this President and first family - they don't even pretend to care about responsible use of taxpayer dollars for personal enrichment. They are all very lacking in conscience.

I don't think Kushner being there would have made any difference, anyway.

I don't believe Kushner is paid...
