'Home of All Bad Ideas': Ivanka Trump's Office Is Mocked at White House, Author Says

A new book about Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner has the Trump team fighting back, but the author isn't pulling any punches.

“The truth hurts,” investigative journalist Vicky Ward told Inside Edition about her new book, “Kushner, Inc.: Greed. Ambition. Corruption. The Extraordinary Story of Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.” 

Ward said the president's daughter and son-in-law, who serve as White House advisers, are actually dangerous to the country.

She told Inside Edition “their ignorance” makes them a danger. "There is absolutely nothing that Jared or Ivanka has ever done in their lives that qualifies them for the positions they now hold," she said.

Ward claims that Kushner’s nickname around 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. is "secretary of everything,” adding, “they mean he interferes with everything."

The office of Ivanka Trump has its own harsh acronym, according to Ward, called “HABI,” which stands for “home of all bad ideas.” 

The book also addresses President Trump's famous 2006 comments about his daughter's beauty, Ward said that sources told her it is "really off-putting how often the president would interrupt really serious conversations to talk about Ivanka's looks." 

Ward writes that first lady Melania Trump is only one who can stand up to Ivanka and Kushner. 

"The one person who can stand up to Ivanka and to Ivanka and Jared is Melania Trump," the author told Inside Edition. 

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told Inside Edition in a statement the book is "based on shady anonymous sources and false information instead of all the incredible work Jared and Ivanka are doing for the country."

For all of her criticism of Ivanka and Jared, Ward said their marriage is the real deal. She also said Ivanka's ambition knows no bounds.

"I’m certain that she wants to run for office,” Ward said. “They think that this is a dynasty, the Bushes, the Clintons and the Trumps."
