When Donald Trump launched his presidential campaign, he was a highly respected real estate mogul known for his incredible business instincts and impeccable taste (or at least, that\u2019s the character he played on TV). He could have spent his days enjoying the good life \u2013 golfing at a different Trump resort every weekend, eating fast food in bed, and tweeting about things he saw on Fox News \u2013 but instead, he generously decided to share his talents with the American people. \u201cMy whole life, I have been greedy, greedy, greedy,\u201d Trump explained. \u201cBut now I want to be greedy for the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n
As president, Trump has made good on that promise by putting a number of his personal employees to work for the American people. He put Lynne Patton, who organized his golf tournaments planned his son Eric\u2019s wedding, in charge of the Department of Housing and Urban Development\u2019s New York and New Jersey office. Keith Schiller, Trump\u2019s longtime personal bodyguard, ran Oval Office operations, and is now sharing his vast security expertise with the Republican National Committee for just $15,000 per month. Deeply impressed by Jared Kushner\u2019s ability to run his dad\u2019s company and be married to his daughter, Trump put him in charge of large swaths of U.S. policy.<\/p>\n
Now Trump is at is again. Axios reports that his longtime personal pilot, John Dunkin, is on the short list to lead the Federal Aviation Administration. While there are some other candidates in the running, and no decision has been made, Trump has reportedly been telling people that he wants Dunkin to get the job.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
