Donald Trump's daughter-in-law, Lara, has made a not-so-subtle jab at her sister-in-law Ivanka.
Family feuds aren't uncommon, but not many people have to deal with a relative making a dig publicly on a podcast.
Lara is married to the president's second son, Eric.
She appeared as a guest on a MAGA supporter podcast, The Katie Miller Podcast, run by the wife of Stephen Miller, who is the White House deputy chief of staff as well as homeland security adviser.

Katie asked Lara a series of questions about her relatives, so course, she had to praise her famous father-in-law, Donald Trump.
When asked who was most likely to call up for a chat on the phone, she said it was him.
It turns out the president is a fan of a good old chinwag: “He loves a good late-night, random call, early morning chit-chat. Yeah."
Some of the other questions resulted in some awkward moments.
Katie posed the query: "Who gives the most unsolicited advice?”
Lara, seemingly unbothered about whether her sister-in-law hears it, laughed and replied: “Maybe Ivanka.”
Realising what she said, she tried to make it slightly less insulting by adding: “Yeah, but I feel like she wants to help. Like, she always means so well. But, you know, it’s okay."
She kept digging, and continued: “We take it all in stride. It’s all good.”
Katie then followed up by asking “Who gives the best gifts?" and the answer was more complimentary this time.
“Ivanka,” Lara didn't miss a beat.
She added, self-deprecatingly: “God, and we are the worst. Eric and I are the absolute worst. I mean, she remembers everything. My kids’ birthdays, every single time.”
“Don’t ask me when was the last time I sent my nieces and nephews an actual birthday gift on time, because I always fail. I’m the worst,” she stressed.
It recently emerged that Ivanka watched the attempted assassination of her father live on TV.
"There was a lot of commotion. The televisions were on, so I saw it almost immediately," she said, while talking to Diary of a CEO podcast host, Steven Bartlett.
"It was before he had stood back up that I had seen what was transpiring, and two of my children were there [with me].
"My first reaction was to turn them away. It was incredibly difficult."
"Interestingly, I knew in real time in that moment that he was fine," she insisted. "I just knew it wasn’t his time.
"I was horrified and scared and protective of my children, but I also didn’t believe the worst possible outcome had transpired. And thank God it hadn’t."
She added: "I just feel incredibly lucky that he was protected on that day, you can’t take things for granted, and I’ve learned that in numerous ways, that being one of them.
"We were so fortunate that day that this was a failed attempt to take his life, not a realised one. But you sort of recommit to love and connection and to a recognition of how short our time here on earth is and how you have to value it."
