President Trump is all about building his political legacy, and his children, like Ivanka and Don Jr., are a big part of that. Chris Cillizza explains why the Trumps are probably not going to disappear once the President’s time in office is over.

Bronx Bjorn Democrat’s literally fight for a right to murder their babies inside the womb…
Never thought that movie would become reality. I was wrong.
Most ridiculous thing EVER!!!!
@PK Cazadores Democrats aren’t over dummy. chump is losing to most of them in polls. Also- have you ever heard your fake president speak? You rarely see a more hateful, racist,, divisive, person speak unless you are at a KKK RALLY. And yes we do hate liars, and cheats and people who make a sham of this country, and make us a laughingstock to the world. You are right about that!
I guess CNN doesn’t really report news, they forgot to mention the MASSIVE crowds that came to support Our President Trump in New Hampshire. They stood in line for 24 hours in stormy weather, but I guess that’s not news! Here is REAL news: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVmr6cvDMVU
@D. Khoung I sincerely doubt that they’re retards since they now run Donald Trump’s businesses. I’d be willing to bet that if you were in their positions you wouldn’t be able to do the job.
@Erazer I don’t think you’ve heard the news but Trump is now at 49% and climbing!
@Jonathan Beckham shut the f*** up you piece of s*** you don’t know what the f*** you talking about because you’re a f****** liberal. You don’t know anything about Donald Trump jr. He’s an awesome guyif you were to ever go to any of the rallies and hear Donald Trump jr. Speak you don’t understand why so many people thank you could run for president one day. You God damn piece of s*** moron.
So when is the Trump dynasty going to learn LAWS?
@PK Cazadores You are indoctrinated.
@PK Cazadores Lol, after the DOJs blatant interference in the prosecution of Stone today after Dumps idiot tweet, I have ZERO faith in the DOJ.
The Idiocracy has you, clearly, so I don’t expect you to fill your empty head with facts or anything.
@Bronx Bjorn Lol
PK Cazadores 👈🏻Another deluded idiot
Looks like Vampires just arisen for the nights fed.

@Toni sumblin Toni Sumblin, that cracks me up! LOL!!!! 🙂
Seriously!!
Omg. That’s what I checked the comments to find. Eric definitely wants to feed. His father’s orange palour is actually a reaction from the drug that allows him to tolerate bright light.
Nice picture. You forgot to draw vertical bars in front of it.
why? He didn’t do anything illegal
Great line
Wax statues need no bars.
Wow, the stuff of nightmares! One was really, really, really more than enough and this is not even over yet 😢.
Two generations of Trumps (It’s not heaven…it’s America!)

@Bronx Bjorn Leftists keep claiming their “intellectual superiority”…while declaring this creature as their political icon. (Pretty much explains everything) https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=20&v=yrto0hsm9Oo&feature=emb_logo
The Bush family political “dynasty” has come and gone. The Chumps are an international embarrassment.
@Eagle Eyes Jussie? Did you believe that crap? Hahahah He is off to court for a HOAX. A HOAX that was obvious like all lately.
Basically the world looks on at a dangerously incompetent vulgarian who spins chaos and discord absolute disgrace
Billy Bloggs Idiot he’s got a list of law suits as long as your arm! That’s why he’s trying to delay supplying a sample of his DNA regarding rape accusations!..You are a Lone Ranger as far as Aussies are concerned! I wouldn’t go to the Pub mouthing off that bullshit if l were you! lmfao😂🤣😂

@Emil Ogborn so your definition of universal health care equals socialism – would think then that you would know there are several democratic countries in the world and Yet The United States is the only one of the 33 developed countries that does not have universal health care for their people

“My father was 68…I’m 41, I’ve got plenty of time”
Great…now we have that hanging over hour heads.
Camo Dude if you haven’t noticed, half of these uneducated commenters cannot spell.
@V S Speaking of libtards, I presume.
soylentdean both sides actually.
Trump Jr. could not get elected as dogcatcher. He is about the most ignorant, arrogant, pos out there- except his father. His father only got in due to cheating, and the electoral college, and the perfect sh*t storm of events.

@Stapendo …Perhaps this quote is more apt: “I love the poorly educated” – Donald Trump
@Stapendo It’s just that the times we live in are so Orwellian. An NO, I am NOT an idiot.
Orwell was talking about socialism. What these dems are pushing. Educate yourself
