The Dynasty

The October 2019 issue of The Atlantic was just released and it includes a fascinating, deeply reported article (link here) about the battles involving Donald Trump's children for control of his empire.

It's not a short article, so if you're not inclined to read the whole thing, at least read through the end of section IV. You'll get a clear sense of how morally deficient the entire Trump family is and has always been.

Trump's grandfather was a huckster with no moral compass just like the current President. And so was Trump's father. So it's no wonder that his children have the same carrion-picking tendencies.

Where I disagree with the article is in its forward vision. I think the Trump name will have vastly diminished value not too many years after he leaves the White House.

He already is a pariah to much of the country. With time, I think that will be all the more so as many of his followers move on with their lives. Trump and his family will dwindle into irrelevancy.
