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.

    I legitimately had someone I know (but no longer consider a friend) tell me that he believes Trump is a solid businessman and these choices may seem out of the ordinary but it is because nobody with his know-how has ever had an opportunity like this.

    Let’s never mind the first term.

    Dude literally thinks these are all wise choices that he doesn’t understand because he’s too dumb. He’s got the second part right.
