Presidency: Will the next four years be one long infomercial?

On the news show “Face the Nation Sunday”, John Dickerson asked Vice President-elect Mike Pence if there would be any staffing announcements that day. Pence began his reply saying, “We’re here at Trump National …”

With Pence hyping Trump properties and Ivanka Trump pitching sales of her bracelets, it is evident that the President-elect, his family and cohorts will commercialize the office and our democracy in ways we have never seen before. That does not bode well for the country.
