The idea that Trump needs his children around him to keep him in check

is disturbing. He needs to literally be babysat by his kids. I have heard this brought up many times by the press over the course of this campaign. Why are we not flogging him on the need to be minded so closely and his refusal to take advise from any one but close family members? Do these children of his need to go to committee meetings with him or sit in on security calls or any number of essentially decision situations which a president must react quickly?

plus, he trusts them, largely for the same reason.

non-family can't compete.
