I'm afraid that's an incredibly insightful commentary. Kushner and Ivanka are an incredibly moderating influence on Trump and his coterie of former child delinquents with learning disabilities.

As for the National Security Council, the problem is not that Steve Bannon attends these meetings. The problem is Steve Bannon replaced the head of the US military, the Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staffs at these National Security Council meetings.

The National Security Council has now become an echo chamber of Trumpistas discussing military situations without the moderating influence of the head of the military giving them the real world limitations on what the military can and can't do, and what option might be better.

Yes there's Trump's retired military on the Council, but that would be like replacing the CEO of Chevron from an oil and gas planning meeting with myself. My understanding of Chevron is dated and necessarily second-hand.

It's little wonder the military has been highlighting problems with Trump's decisions, like making the 5-Star Iraqi General available for TV interviews about how he was no longer able to enter the US to visit his wife and children and attend the monthly strategy meetings in Tampa Florida due to Trump's travel ban.

Trump's level of contempt for the military is what finally took down Senator Joe McCarthy when he began bullying the military.
