The family knows he has a medical problem and needs to be monitored 24/7.


Ivanka Trump, who moved to Washington, D.C., saying she would play no formal role in her father's administration, is now officially setting up shop in the White House.


Ivanka has broken the glass ceiling in 1/2.

and burnt steak and doesn't sleep well. My guess is that he's accumulated a ton of medical problems that are largely untreated so he can live in denial.

Bannon et al. have probably decided he needs a keeper and Ivanka was the only one he'd listen to.

Except on Friday night thru Saturday sundown, apparently, due to observing Jewish practices. That's when he seems to be friskiest with the Twitter finger.

Also doesn't seem to be around to mind him in the early or quite late times of the day.Looks like Melania doesn't want that job, which would require actually being with him at those times, and probably wouldn't do it anyway without being paid in some way.
