One of the tricks that the Communists were fairly successful with back in the day, was exactly the same game that the Anti-Opponents-of-Trump are using today. That is, to distract ALL attacks against them, by showing correctly that SOME attacks are silly or misguided.

In particular, the Russian propagandists of yesteryear would trick otherwise patriotic Americans into supporting Russian aims, by getting them to think that their own government was absurdly paranoid. Putin grew up and studied in the KGB about that technique, and is using it to GREAT success again today. The fact that Russia is no longer officially Communist hasn't changed that they have aims which are aggressive towards other countries, and which they want to advance by getting people here to support Russia for the wrong reasons.

people should read up on what a senior aide to the President entails

he is yet another official with no real experience whose interests have yet to be determined,, but here is a bit of what 'influence' his father in law has given him:


Trump has put him in charge of helping to negotiate a peace accord in the Middle East, reinventing the federal government (Vice President Al Gore’s task in Clinton’s White House), leading the Office of American Innovation and solving the epidemic of opioid addiction. His achievements in these roles have yet to be made manifest. He is reportedly an influential voice in staffing decisions and has appeared in photographs touring war zones in Iraq and meeting with foreign heads of state.
