Trump’s daughter-in-law will be his eyes and ears at the Republican National Committee. But there’s a lot more to it than that.

    Man, despite US politicians talking mad shit about monarchies, they sure do seem like they want a monarchy.

      I think it’s closer to an oligarchy. Those in power know how to get others into power and they help their friends/family do so. Oh an having a lot of money helps too.

    Same idea as Chelsea Clinton speaking at 2016 DNC. Not to mention the 3 prior times a presidents son has been elected president…

    Edit: One, the second Harrison, was actually the presidents grandson, not son. Also FDR was a presidents brother.

        Nvm, I guess they’re fifth cousins, wild. I meant teddy Roosevelt.

        Though Eleanor was Teddy’s niece. So apparently the first lady was more closely related than the president, lol

      Speaking at an event is reasonable and above board. Dictating to the chair to step down so that you can install your daughter in law and another puppet is a whole different story.

    Wow what a surprise from the country that Prescott Bush tried to over throw in a Nazi coup, established the OSS/CIA to overthrow governments, then his son George HW Bush became president after running the CIA and then his son stole an election by manipulating the courts and then totally altered the entire character of US society post 9/11
