I Am Aware Of Politics And Keep Up With What Is Going On
Donald Trump's cabinet picks reveal his true character and what he thinks of his working class supporters.
So let us consider Donald Trump, who campaigned as the populist champion of the working-class, promising that - by golly - he was going to take on Wall Street and the corporate elites.
But the bitter irony for the working class is that they now see what the punk meant - he’s literally “taking on” the moneyed powers, by taking them on-board his administration. Already he’s brought in Wall Street billionaires to fill the three top economic policy positions in his cabinet.
Also, more than half the members of Trump’s Department of Defense transition team have been executives or lobbyists for such military contractors as Boeing.
Overall, according to the watchdog group Public Citizen, three-fourths of Trump’s transition teams - which are organizing, staffing, and shaping our new government - come from corporate America. Not a single working class populist has been allowed a seat at the table.
As America’s working stiffs know, if you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu. Trump’s no populist. He’s a full-time corporatist.
