Trump Pulls Jared and Ivanka Closer

https://politicalwire.com/2017/04/15/trump-pulls-jared-ivanka-closer/

SNIP.............


New York Times: “Both have seats at the table at any meeting they choose to attend, join lunches with foreign leaders and enjoy ‘walk-in privileges’ to the Oval Office. And with the marginalization of Stephen K. Bannon, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump have emerged as President Trump’s most important advisers, at least for now.”

“More openly than any president before him, Mr. Trump is running his West Wing like a family business, and as he has soured on Mr. Bannon, his combative chief strategist, he has turned to his daughter and son-in-law. Their ascendance has some conservative supporters fretting about the rising influence of the urbane young New Yorkers, as some moderates and liberals swallow concerns about nepotism in the hope that the couple will temper the temperamental president.”

Normalizing Jared and Ivanka, making them seem "better" or less dangerous than him is frankly stupid.

They are grifters just like he is, just in prettier packaging.

In the end, they are the same.

corrupt beggars, all of them. How can they claim to be loving parents when they are committing atrocities against children and families at home and abroad? They have no souls.

One thing they haven't figured out is that the gop is quite happy to scapegoat outsiders like the frumps.
