The United States has had its fair share of political dynasties – The Bushs, the Cheneys, the Kennedys… but has Donald Trump been quietly moulding his own family to become a political force long after he leaves office? Who from within the family fold could be a successor to the president? Or does Trump simply see the presidency as an opportunity to enrich himself and promote the family brand?
In this episode, Ashley Parker, a staff writer for The Atlantic, explains why Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner stepped away from politics. The reporter Rosie Gray introduces us to Donald Trump Jr, the louder Trump child, who has enjoyed his unofficial role as spokesperson for his father. And Eric Cortellessa, Time magazine’s senior political correspondent, brings us up-to-date on how Eric Trump is being useful by growing the Trump family brand … and its wealth.
