Trump’s daughter-in-law will be his eyes and ears at the Republican National Committee. But there’s a lot more to it than that.

    Same idea as Chelsea Clinton speaking at 2016 DNC. Not to mention the 3 prior times a presidents son has been elected president…

    Edit: One, the second Harrison, was actually the presidents grandson, not son. Also FDR was a presidents brother.

      Speaking at an event is reasonable and above board. Dictating to the chair to step down so that you can install your daughter in law and another puppet is a whole different story.

      FDR was a president’s brother? Which one?

        Nvm, I guess they’re fifth cousins, wild. I meant teddy Roosevelt.

        Though Eleanor was Teddy’s niece. So apparently the first lady was more closely related than the president, lol

          Haha correct. I always get confused on how they’re all related too.

          I also think that Taylor and Madison were second cousins or something.
