The Nepotism Goes On

Ivanka and Young Jared have decided not to take part in Trump v2.0. They are too busy enjoying the Saudis' money. Besides, Ivanka probably instinctively understands that with her father's many questionable and poorly vetted personnel choices, things might go south at some point, and they don't want to be there holding the bag. Barron is in college and Don Junior and Eric will be stuck running the Trump Organization again, so Trump is running out of kids to put in his administration.

He doesn't really like his daughter with Marla Maples, Tiffany, because he thinks she is fat. But with the supply of his offspring limited, in desperation, he turned to Tiffany's father-in-law, Massad Boulos, a Lebanese billionaire, as senior adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs. While Trump famously does not like Arabs or Muslims, Boulos is fortunately Greek Orthodox. Otherwise he would have had to play the billionaire card. When Tiffany married Boulos' son, Michael, in 2022, Trump was able to control himself despite her marrying an Arab, and he did walk her down the aisle at her wedding.

Oh, and while we are on the nepotism front, Trump also nominated Jared's father and a convicted felon, Charles Kushner, as ambassador to France. Being father-in-law of a Trump child is clearly a good thing to be. If Barron meets a nice girl at college and she is not so interested in him, maybe he could have a talk with her father about their future. (V)
