"Shabbat...or the Sabbath is Judaism's day of rest and seventh day of the week, on which religious Jews and certain Christians (such as Seventh-day Adventists and Seventh Day Baptists) remember the Biblical creation of the heavens and the earth in six days and the Exodus of the Hebrews, and look forward to a future Messianic Age. Shabbat observance entails refraining from work activities, often with great rigor, and engaging in restful activities to honor the day. Judaism's traditional position is that unbroken seventh-day Shabbat originated among the Jewish people, as their first and most sacred institution, though some suggest other origins. Variations upon Shabbat are widespread in Judaism and, with adaptations, throughout the Abrahamic and many other religions.” Wikipedia
After his address to Congress, it appeared that the Donald was settling in to a more presidential mode. However, on weekends, this past one being no exception, while Jared and Ivanka are away, he is most susceptible to reverting to his campaign modus operandi of foot-in-mouth disease, the symptoms of which are making major gaffes through his Twitter account. It is praiseworthy that Jared and Ivanka faithfully honor the Sabbath as prescribed by their religion, but when they do the Donald is left alone to his devices or solely with the guidance of Steve Bannon. This past weekend James Comey, perhaps the person singularly responsible for Trump's victory, was the latest victim as the Donald expressed a statement demeaning the integrity of his office suggesting something with absolutely no merit, merely as a defensive assault and reaction to recent accusations by others that those on the President's staff or other surrogates during the campaign may have illegally collaborated with the Russians to compromise our electoral process, the answer to which most all Americans want an answer.
This begs the following question: Under Jewish law is there is a way to get a waiver from the requirement of observing Shabbat for Jared and Ivanka for the next 4 (8) years? Maybe just a waiver for Ivanka inasmuch as she is a convert? If you, like me, want our President to have a chance to succeed in implementing his agenda (for the most part), he needs to quit insulting those people and agencies whose support is necessary, and he needs to forego his emotional and foolish assaults on anyone who criticizes his authority, decisions or statements.
How can we help him our President with this issue if we cannot obtain an acceptable waiver for Jared and/or Ivanka? The legitimacy of our Republic is at stake. We are becoming more of a global embarrassment each week. If we cannot obtain such a waiver, perhaps we need to force the Donald to get rid of Steve Bannon and let Reince Priebus take over Bannon's role. Bannon is an acknowledged Leninist acknowledging his goal as the "deconstruction" of our Republic, while Priebus is very level-headed, polished, traditional and politically experienced, and he is respected on both sides of the aisle (with few exceptions). In any event, Priebus needs veto power over the Trump tweets if Jared and Ivanka are not at hand to do so themselves.
