Nawaz needs to draw a leaf from The Trump Saga

Adult children can be a big influence and need I add the higher the office of one or both parents the more we learn about the children’s influence.

I don’t get it. If you are talking about the First Daughter you know that claims of her closeness to her dad and how much he listens to her have yet to be publicly endorsed by the dad.

Mian sahib needs to draw a leaf from The Trump Saga - the guy has given an official, mind not unofficial, but official powers to his First Daughter and his First Son-In-law and here we have Maryam Nawaz living in the Prime Minister’s residence, Ivanka Trump has rented her own house in DC by the way, but she has no official powers.

Maryam Nawaz is more like a semicolon right more is to follow the First Family hopes, but it won’t be easy to inherit from her dad, I mean the likes of the Nawalas are running around her, the Sadiq fellow, and the mein, mein, mein (our version of the goat), then there is the

I get it, but perhaps she needs to look at Benazir Bhutto’s struggle for power within the party

Not a good example, Benazir Bhutto had contenders for the party chief, albeit weak, from within her family, Maryam Nawaz doesn’t with her brothers focused on other matters and.

Ah, but First Uncle ain’t gonna be compliant, not unless Mian sahib is still around

Perhaps, but anyway look how well Trump treats his Son In Law and let’s be honest Captain Safdar appears to be a comma at best, I mean one may pause for a split second but that’s about it

What’s Mian sahib in terms of punctuation?

Before I respond to that, let me refer you to our army chief’s recent speech need I add making him the first Pakistan army chief as far as I am aware, who cited his sons’ views on the army response to Dawn leaks part 1 and then part 2, you know how the rejection of the Prime Minister’s notification was a popular but a wrong decision and how withdrawing the tweet and adding Parvez Rashid’s name was unpopular but the correct decision. I really don’t know his sons qualifications or indeed the relevance of their views and I would like to advise the chief…”

“Move on…”

Anyway, Mian sahib is a colon, always more to follow, The Khan would like to think the buck would stop at him, full stop, but in reality he is a question mark still and then there is Zardari sahib who is an underscore, not a dash but an underscore, which is important if your email address has that symbol otherwise no, and need I add an underscore reckons it’s a dash separating the wheat from the chaff.

And the Maulana? And Achakzai?

Exclamation points both.
