Two of President Donald Trump's most trusted advisers — his daughter and his son-in-law — are reportedly turning their ire toward his campaign manager.

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump are "pissed" at Brad Parscale, the president's 2020 campaign manager, for hyping up the crowd size at Saturday's rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a campaign source told CNN on Sunday.

"Jared and Ivanka are pissed at Brad over promising on crowd size," the source said.

The couple wield significant influence in the White House, with Kushner reportedly taking on a bigger role in the campaign as the November election approaches.

Parscale had initially predicted that about 100,000 people would come to the area around the BOK Center, with an overflow space for 40,000 people set up outside.

Only about 6,200 people actually showed up, and the outdoor stage was dismantled as the rally began.

Kushner and Ivanka Trump are not the only ones angry about the Tulsa rally debacle.

The president reportedly yelled at aides backstage upon learning that the turnout was below expectations.
