Yes, Jared probably is loyal and Trump probably does love him and Ivanka. I'm not so sure that he shouldn't worry about their loyalty. I agree that both Jared and Ivanka are very smart.

But Jared's political instincts, in line with his non-abrasive personality, are to avoid creating waves. He was central in convincing Trump to keep Fauci, Birx, and Redfeld on board even though Trump knew the right thing, not the political thing, to do was to dump them.

Perhaps Jared's role could be as a "do-er". Just don't rely on him for political strategy or advice.
