Summary
Donald Trump is forming the wealthiest administration in U.S. history, collectively worth over $330 billion.
Billionaires like Elon Musk ($300B), Linda McMahon, and Vivek Ramaswamy are key appointees, alongside ultra-wealthy Cabinet members.
Musk and Ramaswamy will lead a new Department of Government Efficiency, pushing for deep public spending cuts.
The administration’s combined wealth far surpasses that of Joe Biden’s Cabinet and rivals the GDP of some nations.
Critics argue this contrasts with Trump’s populist messaging, while Senate confirmations could spotlight wealth disparities.
I’m sure they will also see the largest increase in personal wealth of any administration.
Mmmmm… I haven’t read the article but I suspect it’s not true when factoring the Harding administration and inflation.
Might need to exclude Musk, but I bet it’s not far off.
Well considering the system was designed to violently protect the privilege of literal slave masters…
And they called Trump the “anti-establishment”…
Bunch of dummies voted for these guys because they thought Democrats are were a bunch of “elitist” eggheads (the tribe that rubs shit in their hair has equated being smart and knowing things and even basic fucking proficiency with “elitist”) and they felt they were being talked down by some mythological group of “Democrats” they’ve probably never actually interacted with.
Now they’ve handed the country to a bunch of demonic ACTUAL elites that are intent on destroying the country. Well done.
