Any of you son in laws more influential than actual sons?

How is that dynamic? Is there any jealousy? Watching Jared Kushner be Trump's right hand man over his actual sons got me thinking about how the family dynamic becomes in a situation like that.
I know a guy who turned the family company over to his son-in-law to be CEO but in that situation his kids did not want to run the business.

I married a woman with only a sister. My father in law loves me.
2 daughters, a wife, a sister, and both their pets are females too. He is deprived of male bonding.

Not trying to make this anti-Trump sounding, but to me it seems possible his sons have different relationships with DJT than the average father son relationship.
So I'm guessing they're probably a little more used to not being the center of dad's world than the average child.

my FIL is a great human so that helps a ton....we hunt together a lot so you get to know a lot about someone driving to a cut over or a duck blind.
from the day I first came around he and my MIL have always treated me like part of the family. That says a lot about them because they didn't have too... my wife is the oldest of 5 kids...3 boys 2 girls
I know I am lucky for that relationship however, I have friends that battle their in-laws daily.

That may be true, but you could still be a billionaire CEO and have a relatively normal relationship with your children. Take a look at Rupert Murdoch and his sons for example.

I know this doesn't apply to every father-son relationship, but when father and son work together, they are likely argue a lot more than if it was someone who was not the son.

Or perhaps they know they will be running the business, while Kushner may be more knowledgeable about politics and other issues.
Perhaps they are comfortable in the relationship with their father?

I'm closer to my SO's stepdad. He's treated me well since the beginning. The dad is a prick.

I'm pretty close with my in-laws. If they were Cajun mafia, I would probably be considered the consigliere in the hierarchy.

My FIL do business together, we aren't as close as my dad and I but pretty close. The main difference is he cheated on my mother in law that cause a divorce so my wife has an odd relationship with him.
My cousin has the best FIL work story. He took over his FIL's law firm business and the guy retired. My cousin divorced the daughter (not related to the business he banged the nanny I think literally), then the market crashed. So his ex-FIL then went back to work for the Ex-SIL for a couple of years. Lol, great.

Yep, my BIL is a nice guy but he's a special snowflake and he doesn't get it.

I was 5 years older than my future BIL, and while he was in high school, I used to think I was more influential, but there was always a limit on how far that would go. FIL sided with me on all the trivial shite and would shite on me for anything important.

Yep
My wife's brother is a failure

They're not mutually exclusive.
You can say their relationship isn't the same father-son situation many of us have or want, but still say they have a good relationship with their dad that they're comfortable with.
In fact, I expect that's likely how it is. Do I think DJT is the ideal father who provides wise, loving counsel about life and puts his family above all else? No.
Do I think he looks out for his kids, taught them valuable lessons both about life and business, and has done enough to ensure they're mature and reasonable human beings? Yes. Plus, BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. I'm sure they're totally comfortable with that.
