I believe that Trump relies way too much on his liberal and inexperienced daughter Ivanka and her crony husband Jared, aka the Jarvanka twins for advice on who to select for these various critical high profile positions.
Bingo. Javanka have pulled the admin staffing in the wrong direction from the start (and now are apparently gaining more direct policy power as well).
Good ol’ Roger Stone sounded the alarm during the transition, when he said he was telling the president that personnel is policy, but that the president had been convinced to go in the Javanka direction, thinking that he could somehow come to a good working relationship with the GOPe, at least.
(Remember how he had the Clintons to his inaugural luncheon and had the room stand up to toast them?)
I’m with you. Jared and Ivanka should’ve been sent back to NYC long ago.
Maybe Javanka is steering him a bit, but a huge percent of Pres. Trump’s important appointees are connected to Kirkland & Ellis mega law firm. It’s astonishing.
Kirkland & Ellis was a big Obama resource too.
