"Yesterday, I offered my resignation to Mr Trump and the Trump family, but they rejected it. "Today, more than ever, I'm honoured to work for such a great family," McIver wrote in her letter. And at the Trump Organisation, the boss wants you to feel that family pull, as long as you stay in line. It is that tight-knit, obedient formation of mid-level confidants - the long-serving advisers and assistants, the security and legal personnel - that forms the mostly unnoticed core of Trump's organisation, and of his life. But the non-Trumps still feel protected and part of the family because of the way Trump manages without a deputy or a corporate palace guard.
