I just thought it would be nice to remind everyone of the silliness of the outrage. Meme wars work both ways.

I'd suggest going on a nice walk.

You and I both know that is a technicality.

Bobby Kennedy did not sit in on meetings with heads of state, nor did he accompany JFK on out of country state trips.

There is no precedent or comparison to the level of government that Trump has elevated his inexperienced and unqualified relatives. This is more reminiscent of a monarchy or dictatorship.

In no way was Hillary qualified to do health care under Bill either. That got so bad the courts had to get involved.

Could anyone explain to me why it MATTERS if a president has his daughter and son-in-law in his administration? This thread is just more Trump resistance talk for the sake of being anti-Trump.

Where was your outrage when the Clinton's hired their daughter to run the Clinton Foundation? #SelectiveOutrage

Nepotism doesn't bother you? People being assigned to positions for which they have literally no qualifications doesn't bother you?

Is this how you would run a business?...Let alone a country?

it's whining, plain and simple,Trump is the President, to the victors go the spoils, if he feels they're people he can trust, fine. Trump hasn't been cutting deals and playing games with these cretins on Capitol Hill. CNN got Trump elected and it looks like they're going to do it again.

Is the Clinton Foundation somehow part of the government? (No, don't insert conspiracy theories or the like) People can do what they want with their businesses/charities as far as family goes, to my knowledge. Clients/consumers are free to boycott if they don't like it, or petition for laws to be created.

The government is a different story. Now since they are not being paid, it's not legally wrong. A technicality. They sure are involved in a lot of things that they have no experience with, that wouldn't be possible if they were Joe Blo off the street instead of a family member.

Tired of dynasties and nepotism and all that. Let's get the best actual people for the job.

Personally I believe that if there is no pay then he has not broken any rules. It may seem a bit off or strange to have his daughter there but if no rules is being broken then there is nothing that actually be done or in reality complain about. That said, now for those against the idea there is good news, the son in law in under investigation so his days may be numbered, I just wonder if he goes will the daughter also go or stick by her daddy?
