David Brooks recently pointed out the positive role that nepotism plays in the Trump administration.
To date Minority President Trump has filled about 5% of our federal administrative offices that require Senate confirmation. Two or three of the appointments went to people who are functional. The rest have been divided between the mentally impaired and Trump's family; the two groups now struggle for power.
Root for Trump's family. It is true that Ivanka's expertise, for example, is as a bracelet huckster and tight-dress wearer, but she's a human being. Her husband, who may already be Trump's main advisor, is a very young real estate developer and probably a rotten punk, but he is not obviously deranged. The problem, I suspect, is that even Trump can't stand the rest of the relatives who leach off of him. He's about run out of possibles.
