The Trump Presidency 15

Ivanka at the G20.

As I watched her try to work the crowd, I got the idea that President Trump thinks Ivanka can run for political office some day. Am I way off base in my surmise?

I have a hard time imagining his base rallying behind a woman.

I want to say surmisation, but the dictionary says surmise can be a noun.
 
At a South Korean US base, Trump just introduced Pompeo and Ivanka as "the Beauty and the Beast".

I guess in his own way, Pompeo is handsome.
 
I (theoretically) have no problem with the adult child of a sitting President being given some absolutely symbolic role. If Ivanka Trump wants to fly around the world and shake hands and smile in photo-ops, I can't really muster up a lot of outrage at that.

She officially being on the Cabinet and doing anything official or carrying the weight of the "official message of the United States" behind it is a whole other thing.

Congratulations to legislators in New Jersey for not passing taxes that would have driven large numbers of high end taxpayers out of the state. Many were planning to leave, & will now be staying. New York & others should start changing their thought process on taxes, fast!

Thank you to President Moon of South Korea for hosting the American Delegation and me immediately following the very successful G-20 in Japan. While there, it was great to call on Chairman Kim of North Korea to have our very well covered meeting. Good things can happen for all!

Congratulations to Prime Minister Abe of Japan for hosting such a fantastic and well run G-20. There wasn’t a thing that was missing or a mistake that was made. PERFECT! The people of Japan must be very proud of their Prime Minister.

It is very hard and expensive to live in New York. Governor Andrew Cuomo uses his Attorney General as a bludgeoning tool for his own purposes. They sue on everything, always in search of a crime. I even got sued on a Foundation which took Zero rent & expenses & gave away...

....more money than it had. Going on for years, originally brought by Crooked Hillary’s Campaign Chair, A.G. Eric Schneiderman, until forced to resign for abuse against women. They never even looked at the disgusting Clinton Foundation. Now Cuomo’s A.G. is harassing all of my....

....New York businesses in search of anything at all they can find to make me look as bad as possible. So, on top of ridiculously high taxes, my children and companies are spending a fortune on lawyers. No wonder people and businesses are fleeing New York in record numbers!

And that whole other thing is called nepotism.

Ivanka is no Robert Kennedy.

That’s right, The Trump Foundation gave away 100% plus, with Zero rent or expenses charged, and has been being sued by Cuomo and New York State for years - another part of the political Witch Hunt. Just in case anyone is interested - Clinton Foundation never even looked at!

Yeah but when you look out at the entire scope of the United States and by some amazing coincidence the most qualified person for one of the top... I dunno 5, 10 maybe, jobs in the entire country just happens to be your brother... that's off.

It's not just nepotism, I don't like "Dynasties." We shouldn't have Royal Families in America.

There's hundreds of millions of people in the United States. We shouldn't be going back to Kennedy, Bush, Clinton, Roosevelt, etc wells more then once.

As to Ivanka, I mean she's "Adviser to the President" which just doesn't have any qualifications because it's a made up nonsense position.

Trump has requested tanks or IFVs on the Mall during his 4th of July campaign rally, er ... celebration.

President Donald Trump wants to put armored vehicles on the National Mall for his Fourth of July extravaganza, the Washington Post reported Monday, citing people briefed on the plans for the event.

The president has reportedly requested that armored warfighting vehicles be set up in the nation's capital as props for his "A Salute to America" event. The vehicles being considered for the holiday blowout include M1 Abrams tanks and Bradley infantry fighting vehicles.

He really wants that military parade. Maybe he thinks he can slowly build up to it.

You both say things that could be taken as warnings about complacency. You're maybe not quite as bullish on Trump as TA. Am I reading your position correctly?

I'd agree a recession would potentially cost Trump the election, but I think the chances of that happening are close enough to zero to not bother mentioning.
 
Trump Administration Reportedly Will Strip Deportation Protection for Families of Active-Duty Troops

The Trump administration is looking to strip undocumented family members of active-duty service members of protection from deportation as soon as next month, NPR reports. Attorneys for military families with an undocumented relative say their clients have been told the “parole in place” program is “being terminated,” prompting them to scramble to apply for its protections before it comes to an end. Parole in place is designed to offer temporary relief from deportation for military families where a spouse or loved one came to the country illegally—in order to allow troops to serve without fear that their families could be sent home while the service member is deployed.
