Originally published at: Are We Really Supposed To Believe Trump Will Allow A Woman To Carry On His Political Dynasty? - TPM – Talking Points Memo
As the Trump family publicly bullies Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis into naming Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump as Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-FL) replacement should he be confirmed to the Cabinet next year, Trump is publicly doubling down on Lara Trump’s political prospects. In his “Person of the Year” interview with TIME Magazine, Trump pointed to…

the Trump political dynasty . . . “Look, she was the head of the Republican Party,” he said of Lara . . . My kids are very competent,” he continued, before describing both Eric Trump and Don Jr. as “very capable.”
Webster’s cried, but who are we to question the Person of the Year.

They’re really going with “Barron won him the election”? We definitely live in the stupidest timeline

Knowing what a selfish bastard he is, Trump is undoubtedly planning to use Lara as a placeholder for Barron. And once Trump feels Barron is ready, he’ll have him appointed to replace Lara in her second full term. This will put Barron in a position to be “appointed” as the GOP nominee in, say 2040. Hopefully though, maybe a patriotic citizen like Mangione will solve all our future worries. One can only dream.
He won’t be old enough - he’ll have to wait at least until 2044.

Nothing says patriotic like assassinating someone. Sounds more like Amerika than America.

(while in the same breath insulting his daughter Ivanka Trump, who, he said, “would be a superstar in politics” but she’s “so family-oriented.”)
I’m gonna say that Ivanka is smart enough to understand that this is all going to come crashing down one day, and is trying to keep herself, her family, and her business interests as far out of the blast radius as possible.
Probably with the enthusiastic support of hubby Jared, who watched his own daddy go to the pokey and knows that it’s no joke.

It isn’t just Donald Trump, but every Republican has promised to bring prices down.
Did you vote for cockiness or lower prices?
"My kids are very competent.”
Larry the cameraman in Groundhog Day, watching as the coroner pulls back the sheet from the face of the corpse of Phil Connors: “He was a really good guy. I really, really liked him. A lot.”
Also, Ivanka is now Hebraic. To a guy from Queens that maybe unacceptable …

No conspiracy theories were undercut. The statement elides the entire point of conspiracy theories.

The whitewashing official report, as part of (proof of!) the grand cover-up, is a pretty near mandatory part of any conspiracy theory.

The report that there was no conspiracy is the culmination of the conspiracy.

What a ringing endorsement of them!
Unfortunately, assassination is by American historical precedent a typical way of ending a politician’s career. You can pretend it’s anomalous rather than a regular feature, but the record says otherwise. One can be grateful that multiple murders by the head of state are rare here as compared to Russia.

No idea what you are trying to say, but perhaps you’ll expand on this point in a future response.
I’m not sure where to put this response, but I’m very much hoping for an end to the Trump dynasty at the moment where the founder flounders. Most of the Trumps will have taken their winnings and gone away somewhere outside of the political sphere, in my opinion.

She’s certainly smart enough to know that the MAGA are not clamoring for her to assume the crown after her father dies.
