Make Room for Daddy

I don't know how the Trump kids aren't slobs and wastrels at the court of their capitalist kingdom and that is surprising. Somehow the money-warmth emanating from their admittedly engaged daddy has nurtured them. Donald is nothing if not a tribalist and family is the inescapable tribe. 

Donald probably came and went as a parent and so was lionized by his kids and sought after for attention and perceived as both an authority and as a comrade--both a provider and a playmate in the biggest candy store ever. The kids don't appear to be gluttons but after the good stuff. 

How did this happen?--whatever, but I suspect that they adopted adult traits early-on to make up for their father's arrestedness and juvenile antics. It has worked out remarkably well for all of them but daddy's cluelessness could now have horrible consequences and on a immense scale. 

Innocent people will live or die because of it and still Donald is nothing but a self-serving oaf and an opportunist. All of America is supposed to be the president's tribe now. Republicans abandoned this attitude long ago but--whoa--make room for Donald, our new sofa buddy and national daddy.
