They are not “sacrificing” and it’s not “service” and WE DON’T WANT THEM TO.
They shouldn’t be there. There’s a law against presidential nepotism.
They’re not “sacrificing”; they’re exploiting their pseudo-jobs to make more money.
They have zero qualifications to work there.
Nobody wants them there.
Trump doesn’t get to be extra-special ragey that someone criticizes his children, because they don’t belong there in the first place. It’s not our fault or Wolff’s fault or journalists’ fault that Trump shoved his children into his job, ignoring the law against it and the regulations forbidding corruption.
What a disgusting con game all this is.

That one is easy. They are sacrificing America in service of their personal greed.
Also, they’re the president’s ADULT children.
I guess maybe that does feel like ‘sacrifice and service’ to someone that’s had everything handed to them for their whole lives. Most of us just call it ‘having a job’.
I never really understood glorifying sacrifice.
Leaving aside their relation to Trump, leaving aside that nepotism, I wouldn’t want somebody there who felt they were sacrificing anything to be there.
The people I would want working there, are people who want to be there, or at the very least are paid to do the job. Somebody who is sacrificing is going to half-arse it, because they resent the fact that they’re even doing it in the first place.
It is something onerous, not something that is fundamentally rewarding to them, not something they have a particular interest in doing. Even putting in the work to do the thing you really want, could be better thought of as an investment than sacrifice.
And if a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing right – you don’t need that particular martyred attitude.
Yet, it is so often put on this sort of pedestal of “Hey what great sacrifices this person is making,” even though I think we’ve all met and been irritated by people who’re “making sacrifices”.
