…and Barron
We used to call Don Jr and Eric Uday and Qusay and it fell out of fashion probably because nobody remembers Saddam Hussein anymore. But Trump’s dictatorial practice of installing family members in political roles certainly should seem familiar to those of us who have been around a while:
After years in which his privacy has been fiercely guarded and he has been kept out of the political arena, former President Donald J. Trump’s youngest son, Barron, was chosen to be one of Florida’s delegates to the Republican National Convention.
Barron, who turned 18 earlier this year and will graduate high school this month, will be one of 41 at-large delegates at the party’s national meeting in July, when the G.O.P. is expected to officially nominate his father as the Republican presidential candidate. His selection was reported earlier by NBC News.
The youngest Trump will be joined in the delegation by his two more politically active brothers, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., both of whom have appeared on the campaign trail or done interviews to support their father’s candidacy. Mr. Trump’s younger daughter, Tiffany, will also be a Florida delegate. Ivanka Trump, his eldest child, was not on the list.
Lara Trump has been made the Chair of the RNC and Don Jr’s girlfriend Kimberley Guilfoyle and Tiffany’s husband are also delegates along with some big Trump donors. Too bad about the Florida activists who spend their time working for him and the GOP year in and year out. Oh well.
And by the way, Ivanka is floating trial balloons about a possible return to the White House. I am quite sure that she will be in the cabinet if he wins. Secretary of labor? Oh hell, why not VP? She’s got the looks and she’d actually be better than Kristi Noem. She hasn’t murdered any puppies as far as I know. Plus it would be a great way to help Jared grow their billions. Don’t be surprised….
