Definitely a different approach from what we've seen in recent history. It will be interesting to see how this developes.

    And know which ones really need to be shown the airlock.

    These are people that know how to organize a large team and focus on results, something Obama's team of college professors, agitators, and community organizers had zero experience with. That's why the last 8 years have been such a failure.

    No one mentions John Kerry's wealth - married to Ms Heinz ketchup. Or Pelosi, husband is Mr Starkist Tuna.

    Definitely in his adulthood, but doesn't seem like his father was even close to Donald's success.

    For me Wibur Ross is one I am not terribly fond of.
    The Rothschilds could be the most evil family ever and it is widely believed that Soros is their "front man ". But Trump is his boss. So if he doesn't do the job "he's fired"

    It's ludicrous that in the most successful capitalist society in history the wealthy have been so demonized. Trump has moved in these circles since he was a child, so why should it be so surprising that he chooses others from wealth and power.

    And me dino is very interested in seeing how this will work out.
    Trump has trumpeted that his orchestrated results shall make things so much better.
    The orchestra he has assembled has hardly begun to tune up. Let the audience chat of their expectations
    Christmastime At Jurassic World approves of this metaphoric message.

    Excellent point. We know politicians set the bribe level low, just from looking at the grafters that have been caught. The kakistocracy has ruled by the bribe. Now we have a Trump administration of people who claim to be sick of paying those bribes. If they are serious, who better to clean it out than those who know what has been done.

    Let's change the narrative: Trump assembles the most successful and capable cabinet ever.

    Oh no! Successful business people trying to run the government. How will that work out. Best to get those liberal college professors that really know how to run a business in there.

    The more legitimately earned cash in the cabinet, the better. Of course, networking and relationships play a role in any business enterprise. Nevertheless, I prefer them to be expensive to bribe.

    I've always been bothered by elected and appointed politicians that go into office with 'nominal' incomes and assets, then come out of office with millions, even their relatives and close friends.

    It'll be interesting to see what previously wealthy appointees do, even though I might have some concerns how their wealth originally came from. There simply is no such thing as 'clean hands' in government.

    Its not amount of wealth that matters. The Clintons are near billionaires, too. Obama is a multi-millionaire. Every Democrat that ran for the presidency has millions at their disposal and none of them have any recent experience that gives them any empathy for average Americans. Obama has spent every moment of the past 8 years throwing average Americans under the bus and repeatedly running over them.
    I do not care for some of Trump's choices. i do not much care for Trump either, but it isn't the amount of money they have that matters to me. Their actions to acquire their wealth does matter to me.
