Hey, isn't that a screenshot from combovers gone wild? Trump's hair looks like it is about to attack the guy behind him.

He has already said he will put one or more of his kids on the cabinet, I think.

Then he's breaking the law:  5 U.S. Code § 3110.  "A public official may not appoint, employ, promote, advance, or advocate for appointment, employment, promotion, or advancement, in or to a civilian position in the agency in which he is serving or over which he exercises jurisdiction or control any individual who is a relative of the public official. An individual may not be appointed, employed, promoted, or advanced in or to a civilian position in an agency if such appointment, employment, promotion, or advancement has been advocated by a public official, serving in or exercising jurisdiction or control over the agency, who is a relative of the individual."

lol, you actually think Trump gives a damn about what the law says?
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Laws are for the little people.

Trump is clueless.  He figures as president he'll be able to rewrite the laws as he goes along; just as he plans on learning about the presidency and our three branches of government; as he goes along. As for the Constitution; its irrelevant and won't be needed as he'll be surrounding himself with the best people...you know sports and soap opera stars!
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

The problem isn't so much Trump as it is his completely pliable supporters who have been cheerfully willing to accept every wild swing on every issue and meet every unconstitutional promise with thunderous applause.
