John Oliver has vociferously challenged the widely held assumption Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner are moderating forces in the White House.
Oliver argued Ms Trump was an expert at branding and being generally PR-polished.
“For liberals, the popular assumption is that Jared and Ivanka will be moderating influences,” he added.
Oliver, who hosts US show Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, argued that while President Trump is a divisive figure, the so-called power couple are “widely admired”.
