She wasn't elected and she has no business there.  I think I read that she sat in on a meeting with Trump and Angela Merkel.  Imagine if Clinton had won and Chelsea were inserting herself into Oval Office affairs.  We'd be going nuts.

Why in Heavens name should she be granted a security clearance? She has zero need to know.

Let's see ... Ivanka who is President Trump's daughter vs. member of the Muslim Brotherhood under Bammy.  I'll choose door #1, with Ivanka.

I wonder what the reaction would be if Hillary had done the same thing with Chelsea??

More whataboutism.   We don't need to accept either of those choices.  Trump is the employee, remember?

Oh, I hear you and I didn't mean to imply that either scenario is acceptable only that once again we're looking at the lesser of two evils. We have 535 members of Congress who were also hired and they continue to do nothing.

How old was Amy at the time? Did she also have an office in the WH and security clearance. Was she sitting in on meetings with foreign officials?

Right!  Is the Left (West) Wing the Liberal wing?

The comments are true.  Some people would allow Trump to do anything because he is Trump.  The other day I was accused of being a Socialist because I didn't agree with cutting Humanitarian Aid.  Regardless of whether others disagree with me on this I am not a Socialist.  But Trump is.  Socialized Medicine.  Trump said health care for everyone.

People worried about 1% costs in budget when we embrace socialized medicine in Trump care.  What should have been done is repeal.  The Trumps have always been liberal.

She wasn't elected and she has no business there.

Either were any of the people in the WH other than Trump and Pence. As a matter of fact there are only 537 elected people in the Federal Govt' yet he have 1.4 million civilian federal employees. That's about only .0003% of people with govt' jobs being elected to their position.
