Trump's son-in-law and daughter are moving to Washington DC and he's apparently trying to find ways to have them work on the White House staff. If Democrats had ever done this, the GOP would explode. If President Obama had asked candidates to meet with Malia or even Michelle Obama, Fox News and Drudge Report would have updates every hour.
Since when did we elect Trump's kids and if they are supposedly going to manage his businesses, how can they also actively work in government roles? How is this not hugely corrupt?
While campaigning Hillary mentioned she would turn the economy over to Bill. Just saying.

Bill Clinton would not be running any businesses if Hillary won the election. In fact, Bill Clinton gave interviews and even released a letter in which he discussed in detail how he would step down from the Clinton Foundation. He also said that all of the charities involved would no longer accept donations from foreign countries. If Hillary won of course both of them would stop making paid speeches, and so on.
This was all discussed openly before the election.

Okay that addresses the "blind trust" half of the question. It does not address the, "Why is your family setting policy, making decisions and acting the part of an elected official???" piece of it. Bill Clinton had no intention of sitting back and doing nothing.
When people voted the most corrupt candidate in US history into office. Trump voters don't care. They're totally ok with mass corruption and nepotism so long as it's a Republican doing it.
The Trumpsters are living out their fantasies of the 80s revisited.
Trump is Blake Carrington or JR Ewing in their minds. So whatever outrageous buffoonery Trump has to offer will be cheered by his blinded followers.
When Bill Clinton tried to include Hillary, Republicans went berserk - even though Hillary already had considerable experience in law and government. But they have no problem with Trump's kids, even though they have no experience at all in law or government.
Hmm..didnt Hilly say that she would be putting Bill in charge of the economy if she were elected? Isn't Moochelles mother LIVING in the WH as a "Special advisor" to Obummer? Where is the Democrat outrage?

I think my last post answered your question. I doubt if anyone cares if Ivanka gives her father advice. It would be impossible to ask any person to separate himself from his children. However, she's been deeply involved in his real estate business and she has her own jewelry line.
Regarding Bill Clinton, as we've been reminded over and over and over, Hillary didn't win, so nobody can answer this question. It was just something she said on the campaign trail. He definitely would not be able to serve as an official member of his wife's cabinet, but it's a dead issue. As I already stated, I don't think any reasonable person is concerned that Trump's family is advising the President-Elect, only that they are involved in running private businesses while helping select members of his cabinet and meeting with foreign leaders.
If Trumps trusts his kids then absolutely he should use them. It is no different that any President, Obama included, bringing in people they trust to help them. That they are his kids is irrelevant.
If Trump needs two elephant killers and a woman who sells knock-off shoes made by slaves in China to "help" him.... this country is screwed.
