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.
So we’re an oligarchy now, right? I mean, pretty much feels like a few, elite rich ruling over the poor… isn’t that what an oligarchy is?
Now? Try the last twenty years at least. Probably would argue as far back as Reagan.
Get them all assembled into one place. Just sayin’.
Maybe they should take a trip to NYC.
Supposedly the dude took a bus from Atlanta.
DC is just as travel-friendly, probably cheaper
Also less chance of hitting an innocent rat
we have more wealth disparity than the guilded age as well
Shit must change
You have been shown the way
I legitimately had someone I know (but no longer consider a friend) tell me that he believes Trump is a solid businessman and these choices may seem out of the ordinary but it is because nobody with his know-how has ever had an opportunity like this.
Let’s never mind the first term.
Dude literally thinks these are all wise choices that he doesn’t understand because he’s too dumb. He’s got the second part right.
Ignorance is a hell of a drug.
It would be so cool if they could be melted down and harvested for resources. A lot of good could be accomplished with $340bn.
Unrelated, but does anyone know how much tissue a guillotine can cut through in one motion using it’s own momentum?
I just realized 1700s France could have probably saved a lot of manual labor by arranging their oligarchs in a little stack and then dropping the blade.
Anyway, $340bn? Daaaaang that’s crazy. …well, have a good’n folks!
Why stop the blade at all? Just keep it going faster and faster spinning in a circle, something like this:
If it’s well designed, one. The whole point is they don’t mess up like a headsman. Additional materials are better spent on more guillotines.
It’s a good thing then that wealth isn’t associated with sociopathy and lack compassion.

And I bet one of the qualifications for being nominated is buying a portfolio of Trump NFTs…
Burn them all down.
The team is all assembled - time to take on the elites!!!
What if Trump really is for the people and he’s jus putting them all in one convenient location…
Edit: this is a joke
The only way that could possibly happen is if Trump thought he would get all their stuff afterwards
Believe it or not I wasn’t being serious.
Efficiency.
The only efficiency these people know is how to squeeze the most from the bottom to benefit those at the top.
All here to turn government inefficiencies into profits. It’s not inefficient to contract a company with a huge amount of money for a sub par service with constant delays and price hikes!
“Valued at”
Their worth the same amount as anyone else is.
