Summary

Donald Trump is assembling the wealthiest U.S. administration in history, with a cabinet of billionaires and multimillionaires worth a combined $340 billion.

High-profile appointees include Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy for a new government efficiency role, alongside billionaires Linda McMahon, Doug Burgum, and Scott Bessent in key cabinet positions.

Critics argue this contrasts sharply with Trump’s working-class rhetoric, with analysts warning of policies favoring the wealthy at the expense of public services like education and social security.

Backlash over inequality and budget cuts is anticipated.

      Come Inauguration Day, hunting season is going to have the defense of the American Armed Forces and the the tech industry surveillence state to kill anyone Trump wants. Better get started now (disassembling surveillence. Mods, we would never condone hunting the rich in order to preserve the union and democracy.)
