Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump is already looking ahead to forming his top White House team and is considering one of his sons as the head of the Interior Department.

In an interview with Petersen's Hunting, he offered both his sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, as the cabinet secretary because they are hunters and anglers and members of key conservation and Second Amendment groups.

"Ideally yes, they'd be better at it," said Trump.

Um, I think they were joking. Trump is counting on his sons and daughter to take care of the family business since he won’t be able to.

Then who runs the family business? Conflict of interests and the laws governing that for a president won’t allow it at all. And I don’t see Trump letting others run the family business if he brings the kids into government with him.

Even his personal holdings outside of the business would have to be put into a blind trust.

Yes, it was stated in earlier threads and the article had actually been posted a couple of hours earlier. I had asked the mods to delete my thread but they didn’t. The reason it didn’t come up in my search was that the first thread did not have a comma in it!

Your welcome.
