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.

      They’ll tell them extremist rioting leftists are the cause of everything.

      “2016 2”: This time it’s Personal.

      They’ll use the same excuses and fallbacks they used then, and the uninformed Americans will eat it up all over again.

      It’s so easy, they don’t even have to change strategy.
