Trump taps 13 billionaires for his cabinet

The oligarchs tapped have a networth of over $340 billion.
How will these people properly represent their constituencies ?
We cannot expect the oligarchs like Trump, his chronies and those like Brian Thompson to watch out for our best interests

I’m mixed on this one, because while billionaires are generally out of touch with the average persons reality and sensibilities, they do understand how to run a complex business.

@DownTheStreet Government is more complex than private enterprise. Being wealthy does not equip you for government.
@DownTheStreet Keep in mind, billionaires run their businesses with the mindset that the only thing that matters is profit. That might work when it comes to making money, but it harms the public. That's how we end up with the private prison industry, the military industrial complex, and unregulated pollution.
Remember Trump complimenting Elon Musk for firing his employees when they went on strike? That's what these billionaire sociopaths are bringing to the Trump-Vance government.
