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

Or, he's choosing them so they can be above corruption, just like Trump is and why 'they' asked Trump to clear the Swamp in the 1st place

"Best interests..." - i'm guessing Trump will avert WW3, that single point alone will put him in the history books - you can't get any more vindication than that for 'best interests' for anyone, bearing in mind WW3 will cause 100,000's of deaths if not MILLIONS, possibly the end of the human race -

As Einstein said: "After WW3, the next War will be fought with sticks and stones"

@BigGuy2 Musk was revealed in a Freedom of Interest request this week to have lobbied the UK government to increase taxes on new petrol and diesel cars (a measure that is likely to directly benefit sales of his EVs.) When our government failed to respond he directed sustained personal criticism against the prime minister through his social media platform. This is a textbook example of corruption and shows that Musk is unable to deal cleanly with conflicts of interest.

@SunshineGirl what came 1st, the Chicken or the Egg - anyone lobbying any Government and that 'anyone' being threatened with arrest if they step into that Country {bearing in mind lobbyists are like flea bitten rats scurrying around Parliament}

I would hardly think the PM would want to arrest a lobbyist, a failed lobbyist just over 'personal criticism' 🙄🙄🙄

@BigGuy2 He has never been threatened with arrest. People who have used his platform to incite racial hatred have been arrested and convicted.

@SunshineGirl ... it's just a snippet, but no racial element there: 🙄🙄🙄
