Over the past two years, Mr. Trump has waffled on whether he wanted his children serving in his administration. Ms. Trump and Mr. Kushner, however, have outlasted those plans, and Mr. Trump’s desire for them to leave the West Wing has come and gone in waves, associates said. Mr. Kelly resigned in December, and the couple has only gained in power since his departure. When Mr. Kushner and Ms. Trump decided to get married, both sets of parents were skeptical. Mr. Trump, meanwhile, did not understand why his daughter had to change her religion for anyone, even though he liked Mr. Kushner.
