Treasury - Steve Mnuchin, a Goldman Sacks guy who used his time in office to help him establish Liberty Strategic Capital after he left his position. His new hedge was funded by the Saudis, Emiritis, and Qataris.
Interior - Ryan Zinke, another O&G guy who was charged with protecting our lands, but at the same time was a climate change denier and on board with selling those federally protected lands to the highest bidder.
Labor - Alexander Acosta, the guy who let Jeffrey Epstein off in 2008 and then allowed unfair hiring practices to go on in his department.
Education - Betsy DeVos, the multi-level marketing queen who championed vouchers (privatized education) was put in charge of public education.
It goes on and on. Agriculture (Sonny Purdue), Commerce (Wilbur Ross), Health (Tom Price), Housing (Ben Carson), Energy (Rick Perry), Transportation (Elaine Chao - Mitch McConnell's wife), EPA (Scott Pruitt), Small Business (Linda McMahon), OMB (Mick Mulvaney) and so on.
Just a collection of ghouls and corporate shills meant to dismantle government and enrich themsleves.
And nothing is changing. For more proof of Trump making things swampier, he just appointed an ass kissing, great replacement theory endorsing dip####, as the Ambassador to the United Nations. Yeah, Elise Stefanik is going to do a great job representing the United States and finding compromise between nations. Nothing swampy there.
He's not exposing corruption, he's just making it more profitable! It's always been bull####. Ask anyone in New York or New Jersey who put up with his antics before he ran for president and they will tell you he did the same self-serving, lie his ass off BS, all the time. He's not some genius who understands politics. He's a conman who understands how to bull#### people. PERIOD.
He doesn't pivot. He just says more outrageous #### the media chases and then they forget the egregious thing they should have held Trump's feet to the fire. It is classic Roy Cohen and how he handled the whole Red Scare when he worked with Joseph McCarthy. Don't let them focus on particulars or facts, just keep the sands beneath the narrative shifting enough so they have to chase that.
It's all in the weave! He's just lucky that stupid people couldn't see through the weave for what it was.
