The New York Times: Reports on the problems that President Trump has created by placing his daughter and son in law in his administration, the NYT editorial states the following, " One of Mr. Trump’s most disturbing departures from tradition was his appointment of close relatives to positions at the very apex of government power. We are now seeing consequences of that ethical break, as the extraordinary access to government secrets of his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has finally been constrained by White House officials concerned about his lack of full security clearance. "
Lets Get Real:
CNN reported on a NYT story that the POTUS wants his Chief of Staff to get rid of his daughter and son and law, as it is causing him problems. The placing of close family members close to the Oval is not new, Kennedy and Clinton have placed close relatives close to the Oval, in the case of President Kennedy it was placing his brother as Attorney General, and with Bill Clinton it was his wife to fix the US health service. The problem with such placements is that they have a direct link to the President, total 100% loyalty, and will do what the Presidents wants. It has been argued that RFK was the best Attorney General and the worse, he supported civil rights but also covered up for his brother and his numerous affairs. In the case of Hillary Clinton it has been argued that Clinton Oval lost Congress due to the Hillary care in 1994. Thus what a job Trump's Chief of Staff, how to fire the first daughter and her husband.
