I;m shocked! Shocked I tell you. Your hero would never put up with putting completely unqualified family members in fancy government positions--just so they can make a little money on the side.
"Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner made millions in Washington. But at what cost?
Apparently accountable to no one, Kushner and Trump acted as if the
normal rules did not apply to them. And in fact, they didn?t."
"First things first: Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump should never have
been allowed to work in the White House. Anti-nepotism rules exist for a reason, namely so that unqualified relatives of the president are not
given jobs in the most important office in the world.
Kushner, the son of a now-pardoned felon and real estate magnate, came
to the White House from his previous position as an executive in the
family business, often playing the role of slumlord. Yet, he was tasked
with solving everything from the opioid crisis to modernizing the
federal government to criminal justice reform to Middle East peace to
the coronavirus pandemic. He solved almost nothing, but he did
reportedly help secure a pardon for his father.
First things first: Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump should never have
been allowed to work in the White House.
While we still don?t know exactly what Trump did in the White House, she always seemed to find herself in a room of power. Often, scandal
followed.
Yet, it was so important that these two serve in the administration that
the Department of Justice dismissed its anti-nepotism guidelines and
decades of precedent to let them work. They left their businesses
behind, they said, divested from any potential conflicts of interest and refused to take a salary because they were not in Washington, D.C., for
their own benefit.
Or were they? A new analysis of their financial filings shows the couple disclosed up to $640 million in outside income while working in the
White House. At the same time, the couple failed to entirely divest from their businesses. Put together, our analysis suggests that as former President Donald Trump?s daughter and son-in-law decamped from the White House in January, they left a trail of ethical breaches in their wake." [snip]

Now *that* is the best example of nepotism I've ever seen. Of
course, from your point of view orange jesus is above the law. "HE IS
THE LAW." So, none of this is relevant to anything and I'm just being my usual boring self.
While you're watching the stupor bowl I'll be on a beach on a
cloudy day in Oregon. I lead such a tough life. lol

Do you think this is wrong in both cases or neither case or only in Trump’s case? By the way, I do not watch pro sports so I won’t be watching the
super bowl this year and I haven’t since the assholes started that kneeling idiocy. If I want to see protesting I’ll watch the news.
