The press is attempting to normalize Trump thru Ivanka and Jared.

Ivanka has said she is a "force for good" in the White House. Yet, is there even one decision or one policy that she has helped to pass or prevented from passing.

Also, her recent financial records show that she made between $1-5 million off her share in the Trump International Hotel in Washington? That is an obvious conflict of interest, as much as it is for her Daddy.

They all look like the kings and queens of grifters to me. The media is not helping the struggle by trying to normalize Donald Trump in this manner, in my opinion.

1. Sure appears to be what is happening.

6. and it's working, if a recent phone call

from my bro is any indicator. The only political things he mentioned were: "his children" and "his speech". My bro is a Dem.

7. There was a story

somewhere about how Moonvies and Other News Execs are bragging about how much money they are making at this time and how the viewing numbers have spiked upward.


Noticed ABC/Disney seems to have taken the lead in this formulation. I'am one who listens for speech and diction patterns. One only has to have taken a effective listening training course to pick up on what is really being said.

Today's deal about Bannon was done by Don Coats a ex congressman who has been a Republican fixer type for most of his career and with the wheels coming off this Administration and the legal beagles circling the White House,this is just one of many so called shake ups.

2. Or maybe distracting and trying to call attention away from him.

3. They are treating them as though

they will "guide" Trump to becoming a "normal" President and/or keep his Presidency "on the rails" so to speak. The unstated and obvious question is, if Trump can't manage himself on his own as POTUS and needs to have his daughter and son-in-law guiding him, then why is he still allowed to be POTUS? That seems like grounds for removal from office in and of itself IMHO. However, nothing about this situation is "normal" and probably never will be normal- but that doesn't seem to stop the media and the GOP from continuing to try to normalize the situation and desperately hoping that he will reach at least George W. Bush levels of competency.

4. I thought she had input re: the LGBT stuff

A couple months ago?

8. My feeling was someone got them to delay that because of imminent protests were threatened...

And they couldn't handle more bad PR at the moment. Didn't get the impression anyone really cared about it beyond what headlines would be generated. That could come back when they have an opportunity.

5. Well apples do not fall far from the tree!

Remember on 60 minutes she said she was just going to be the daughter???? another liar.

9. Her complicity is adorable or ...

she's dumb as a rock.

10. She's like a 36-year old child.

Spoiled rotten.
