Or does he not care if they care? One would think that they would be concerned about rising anti-Semitism, such as the incident on the NY subway, even if they don't care about anti-Muslim and anti- everyone else not white and Christian. I wonder what kind of conversations they are or are not having with T and staff, and how much influence they have.
I realize that being on the outside this is all conjecture, but there seems to be no sense to be made of it. But then I don't know why this should be any different than anything else in this White House as far as making sense.

If there were an American Auschwitz, and Jared wasn't the boss' son-in-law, he'd be on the next railcar to oblivion.

(901 posts)Kushner, an Orthodox Jew, and Bannon, an anti-semitic and white nationalist, manage to work together. Seems really odd.

(599 posts)They don't care about anyone but themselves and their families and friends. They might not have voted for him if he had talked about Native Americans the way he did about Arab Muslims and Mexican immigrants, but I'm not sure about that.

(90,714 posts)Wedded bliss unburdened by ethics -- as Trump Senior has demonstrated, to him everything in life is transactional, everything is all about making a deal to your personal advantage.
I find it very hard to look at life thru this prism -- in fact, I find it impossible because it appalls me so. But I observe.
