Thomas,
ten, what examples of Nepotism were engaged in by President Trump.
You might not consider this relevant, but I'll say it just because I feel like it and I know you're gonna read it anyway.

Back when I was a fan of the reality TV show The Apprentice, I liked one of the judges on that show, Carol Kepcher. She was a pretty good representative of female business executives.

Unfortunately she was kicked off the show for unstated reasons, but it was generally assumed that she was getting a big too famous for Trump's liking. Whatever the reason, though, Carol was replaced with Ivanka Trump.

Although I have nothing against Ivanka, I felt that was a blatant show of nepotism right there. But that's fine. It was Trump's show, he can hire and fire anyone he wants.

Fast-forward to today, and I see Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump in high government positions. You're telling me that they would have and should have been appointed to those positions all on their own without Trump's help?

These are blatant examples of nepotism. It's nothing new in politics, but just because it's nothing new doesn't mean it isn't nepotism.
