Matthews on the Trumps: ‘It Is the Romanovs!’

‘Eric Trump, the son of the president, said that his sister Ivanka may have played a role in the president’s decision to respond to Syria’s chemical attack’

RUSH EXCERPT:
MATTHEWS: "It seems to me there’s always an element of almost Romanov absurdity with the Trumps. It’s one thing to have Jared Kushner sitting in on all meetings, representing the president as some sort of viceroy. Eric Trump, the son of the president, said that his sister Ivanka may have played a role in the president’s decision to respond to Syria’s chemical attack. Quote, Ivanka is a mother of three kids, and she has influence. I’m sure she said, listen, this is horrible stuff. My father will act in times like that. Referring more broadly to the advice the Trump family gives to the president. Eric Trump also said, I think it gives you a sounding board who is a little more unconventional than the 37 people that might be standing around that table at one time that just want to appease."
