THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY

[HairOfTheDog]

There's a bot on twitter that keeps track of Trump family "likes".  I know, it sounds creepy and obsessive.  Anyway, it showed a ton of likes and follows by Ivanka for government agency accounts, leading some people to guess she's prepping for her new job.  

Think of all the contacts she can make to expand her clothing line into new countries..

Yesterday Ivanka Trump issued a public statement that she was not going to replace Nikki Haley.  She made the statement after President Trump told reporters that no one would be more competent than she.  

That doesn't mean it won't happen; they issue a lot of denials that later turn out to be false.  But, according to news reporting,  it seems Dina Powell is the most likely candidate at present.

Powell, who was born in Egypt, returned to Goldman Sachs as a member of the management committee after serving as Trump's deputy national security adviser for strategy during most of the president's first year in office.

Under President George W. Bush, Powell was head of White House personnel, and later she was assistant secretary of state for Educational and Cultural Affairs.  https://www.axios.com/dina-powell-nikki-...5ff64.html

I think she is getting out before she is tainted with the Trump administration.

Yeah, that could be all or part of her reason.  There's a lot of speculation in circulation regarding the timing of Haley's resignation.  

I've read that there were ethics complaint filed against her on Monday (accepting free jet rides); she and her husband are burdened with huge debt and she can make way more money in the private sector; she's got another political gig in mind, etc.
