Commentary: Trump’s pick for education secretary shows he understands the assignment

President-elect Donald Trump‘s selection of antitrust lawyer Mark Meador for a spot on the Federal Trade Commission is a sign that Trump 2.0 is leaning further into populism and a willingness to challenge the corporate world, especially Big Tech.

Column: With education nominee, Trump shows he understands the assignment

Tiffany Boulos, the daughter of the president-elect’s first confirmed affair (and second wife, Marla Maples), was so overjoyed at the prospect of marrying her beau Michael that she became the first to marry and take her husband’s name. She knew she was marrying into a wealthy Lebanese family, and, as all marriages between rich people go, she knew that there would be certain benefits to marrying what rich people affectionately refer to as a “PLU”…

A Truck Salesman as a Middle East Advisor? Sure, Why Not.

Truth is stranger than fiction, once again. Trump announced that his daughter Tiffany’s father-in-law would be his advisor on Middle Eastern affairs. Trump described him as a successful businessman, a billionaire, a man of great importance.  But the New York Times revealed today that Massad Boulos is not a billionaire.
