I am not a Posek and could easily be mistaken. But I believe that at
this level of government, I am sure that there are many Heterim that
would apply about a variety if Issurim. I think all Poskim including
Charedi ones would agree with this statement. A leader as powerful as
POTUS requires us to be as accommodating to his demands as possible -
lest it affects the entirety of Klal Yisroel in negative ways.

I should have said it requires those of us that directly serve him as
Jared and Ivanka will be. Not those of us that are merely citizens of
this country.
