Trash debacle shows why kids shouldn’t run the campaign
Trump, however, has no top-flight people around him. He has never been able to trust or enlist people who have won presidential races.
In essence, by default and, perhaps, because of his frail ego and distrust of those who know more than he does, he has turned his three adult children and son-in-law into his top campaign echelon.
Ivanka Trump’s husband, Jared Kushner, reportedly helped draft speeches and has overseen “virtually every facet” of the Trump campaign.
For starters, the Trump children have zero experience running a campaign and no more command of policy than Trump himself.
Moreover, you cannot fire your kids, nor can they quit.
if you live the rarefied life of a billionaire, insulated from the concerns and pressures of ordinary people, you probably don’t want to surround yourself with millionaire/billionaire children insulated from the concerns and pressures of ordinary people. Their friends, experiences and perspective are as unrepresentative of ordinary America as your own. All you are doing is magnifying the blind spots and minimizing the opportunity for corrective action.
In Trump’s case, over-reliance on his kids is a reflection of both his narcissism and deep insecurity (which, I suppose, is at the root of the former). He believes he knows it all.
Professionals are “stupid” and “incompetent.” (Some are, but he cannot distinguish between the stupid and the smart, the incompetent and the expert.)
He has not the patience nor the capacity to learn policy or master the fine points of political strategy;
he therefore is loath to interact with professionals who’d figure out that he, in essence, is a fraud woefully uninformed about anything beyond his own business.
