Donald Trump henter sin svigerfar Massad Boulos som rådgiver i Mellemøsten. Hvad mon familien tænker om det?
I en overraskende drejning har den kommende præsident Donald Trump udnævnt Massad Boulos, en libanesisk-amerikansk forretningsmand og svigerfar til hans datter Tiffany Trump, som sin nye seniorrådgiver vedrørende Mellemøstlige anliggender. Boulos, som har sin baggrund i Libanon, skal nu forsøge at navigere i det komplekse politiske landskab i et område præget af konflikter og kulturelle forskelle. Det er en udfordrende opgave, men Trump er kendt for at vælge mennesker, han stoler på, til dette job.
Boulos har tidligere været aktiv i at pleje relationerne til arabiske amerikanere og har bidraget til Trumps kampagne i netop det segment. Så meget kan siges at han bærer et stort ansvar og skal finde en balance mellem familien og det nationale diplomati. Mens han arbejder på at styrke forbindelserne til den arabiske verden, må vi ikke glemme den ekstra opmærksomhed, der vil være på hans forbindelser til en administration, der ofte har været kritiseret for sin tilgang til Mellemøsten.
I lyset af denne udnævnelse kan man ikke lade være med at spekulere på, hvordan det vil påvirke de interne familiedynamikker. Florer af familiehistorier i politik er ikke nye - vi husker alle, hvordan Clintons og Bush-familierne også har ført an i Husets korridorer. Men at ansætte svigerfar som rådgiver? Det gir' stof til eftertanke!
Hvad Boulos bringer til bordet, er endnu uvist, men i et politisk klima, hvor forbindelser og personlige relationer i stigende grad er blevet så centrale, er det bestemt værd at følge, hvordan Boulos vil navigere mellem familiens bånd og de politiske beslutninger.
Vidste du at Massad Boulos før sin karriere i USA, var en succesfuld forretningsmand i Libanon og er kendt for sin status blandt den libanesiske diaspora? Desuden er han ikke den første svigerfar-kombination i politik; historisk set er sådanne forbindelser set i mange lande, hvilket giver stof til eftertanke om magt og familie i den politiske arena. Hvad næste skridt bliver i denne interessante familiedrama, må vi se?
