For better or for worse, for richer or for even richer, in sickness and in Mar-a-Lago, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump have become celebrity fixtures of the Trump presidency.

It’s possible that illegal or unethical links to Russia could end the Jarenka spotlight, but — as my friend Sanjiv reminded me — until that day Kushanka need to have their proper Kimye, Billary, Brangelina name assigned to them.

Whether Krump, Jaravanka or Ivared, it’s something upon which the nation urgently needs to reach consensus.
