Trump selects Jared Kushner’s father, Charles Kushner, for ambassador to France - you know, the guy who was serving a prison sentence until Trump pardoned him.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Trump tapped Massad Boulos, his daughter Tiffany Trump’s father-in-law, as a senior advisor for the Middle East.
So there you go, it's not DEI, but just another nepotism hire.

I find it difficult to believe that Trump stopped grifting just because he wasn’t President.

Yeah, you can insert the phrase "officially-sanctioned" and get my gist nicely. I had thought that'd be obvious considering the context was familial appointments into government, so omitted it.

Fair enough. But, you know - once a confidence trickster…

These ads are all over American TV, there's a "Trump gold dollar" coin -- which is again not legal tender, like this sheet of asswipe -- selling for $40.
It's colored gold. Don't touch it or the silly-plating will rub off.
