Instead of all the media speculation and analysis, Donald Trump won the election. Even though some U.S. celebrities and voters were disappointed about the results, democracy has its own way and everyone eventually agrees with it.
Trump has been under so many controversial pressures about racial discrimination and being dramatic, and even after the election, controversies seem to haunt the nation's newest POTUS (President of the United States). According to a report published in Wall Street Journal, Trump's children won't be participating in any White House matters. Instead, they will continue to manage their father's huge business and won't assume any roles in the government.
The declaration came from Trump organization's spokesman Hope Hicks, who further informed that preparations are already in the process to move management authorities to Trump's kids. Donald Jr., Eric and Ivanka are going to run the business empire in association with highly skilled executive professionals.
The news, however, met with a mixed response. Analysts claimed that this arrangement will create problems. The reason? They believed that the three children have been part of a committee, which is going to choose administration officials for the government, and this could affect the interests of the company.
Market Watch also reveals that Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is going to have an official role in the White House. However, it is still unclear whether the role would be formal or informal but it is speculated that Kushner might serve as an advisor. Analysts and critics regard this arrangement against ethics and suspect that it could create conflicts in terms of interests of the company and the White House.
The latest news regarding Donald Trump's children and in-laws have shown a twist as questions of anti-nepotism raises against Jared Kushner's appointment in the White House. Kushner was an active campaigner for Trump but a role in white house come in conflict with the anti-nepotism law, which was passed in the late '60s and stated that public officials are not allowed to employ their relatives in any government agencies.
With that said, it would be interesting to see how things will turn out in the light of the anti-nepotism statute. So, do you think appointing Donald Trump's children or in-laws for any government position would be a conflict of interest to Trump's business empire?
