He seems unable to function unless Ivanka is near. She's his security blanket and he's hoping she sounds impressive because he knows he doesn't.

Maybe all the talk was about zoning approvals, and maybe a new golf course on the Falklands, er, Malvinas Islands.

(2,434 posts)some kind of dementia and a family member must be present at all times to help him remember what to say and remember what he said. Scary ...

Hopefully, attacks on Ivanka will be seen by Trump as attacks on him and just help cement his daugher's position. The last thing we want is Ivanka's power usurped by someone like Bannon, or more likely in the long term a Koch and/or Mercer agent, unifying the White House and Congress under agents in power in both branches.

(58,785 posts)have good connections in NY circles and have written a lot of articles about the Kushners, some of which I've only just started reading since they've become of interest. But this is from the WaPo:
Clinton added that she loved Trumps family, a point that co-host Joy Behar asked her to clarify. By family, Clinton meant Trumps husband, Jared Kushner, and her three children. Both broods (Clinton and her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, have two children) live in Manhattan and run in the same small circles.
