Summary

Donald Trump is assembling the wealthiest U.S. administration in history, with a cabinet of billionaires and multimillionaires worth a combined $340 billion.

High-profile appointees include Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy for a new government efficiency role, alongside billionaires Linda McMahon, Doug Burgum, and Scott Bessent in key cabinet positions.

Critics argue this contrasts sharply with Trump’s working-class rhetoric, with analysts warning of policies favoring the wealthy at the expense of public services like education and social security.

Backlash over inequality and budget cuts is anticipated.

    Imagine if they all fully liquidated their assets and pooled together their money into a stimulus fund and distributed it all to the public as the ultimate act of goodwill to the American people. I mean, could we dumb libremoveds even argue with them anymore? That’d be such an indisputable victory that we’d have to admit that they’re right. Man, I really hope they don’t do that, that’d just own me so hard that I might have to convert to Christianity. Please don’t pass this idea along to them, I can’t imagine how embarrassed democrats would be if they did this oh gosh I hope I don’t jinx it.
