"President-elect Donald Trump’s decision last week to nominate Betsy DeVos, a Michigan billionaire and conservative activist, as his education secretary has caused great consternation in parts of the education world — those parts that are deeply concerned about the future of public education."
The “King of Bankruptcy” is likely going to become the United States secretary of Commerce. President-elect Donald Trump is expected to pick billionaire investor Wilbur Ross, a businessman who made his money and got the nickname buying up fledgling companies in distressed industries such as steel, coal, and textiles.
"Another superrich, conservative businessman will likely join the Commerce team as deputy Commerce secretary: Todd Ricketts, son of TD Ameritrade founder Joe Ricketts and Cubs co-owner. "
"Donald Trump's disavowal this past week of white supremacists who have cheered his election as president hasn't quieted concerns about the movement's impact on his White House or whether more acts of hate will be carried out in his name.
Members of the self-declared "alt-right" have exulted over the Nov. 8 results with public cries of "Hail Trump!" and reprises of the Nazi salute. The Ku Klux Klan plans to mark Trump's victory with a parade next month in North Carolina. Civil rights advocates have recoiled, citing an uptick in harassment and incidents of hate crimes affecting blacks, Jews, Muslims, Latinos, gays, lesbians and other minority groups since the vote."
Other disastrous cabinet picks include Michael Flynn, National Security Adviser; Jeff Sessions, Attorney general (maybe one of the worst), Kansas Rep. Mike Pompeo for CIA director, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley for ambassador to the UN. Basically, it comes down to being up trump's ass until the brown turns your head into a chocolate lollipop. Some of these folks were even against trump at one point but since nobody wants to be bullied by him and don't want to stand for their own principles (Nikki Haley), they conceded for their chance to be part of a disastrous trump administration, political suicide for them.
Trump has already gone back on many of his campaign promises because those promises were just a show to him, a reality show that had no substance, just a "tell them what they want to hear" monologue (because there was no dialogue) of a narcissistic, billionaire who is not for all Americans but for a select few white rich nationalists, white supremacy being the cornerstone of his campaign.
And how about raising taxes on the middle class and poor? Here ya go trump supporters!
Most married couples with three or more children would also pay higher taxes, an analysis by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center found. And while middle-class families as a whole would receive tax cuts of about 2 percent, they'd be dwarfed by the windfalls averaging 13.5 percent for America's richest 1 percent."
And how about climate change?
"Trump still thinks climate change is "a bunch of bunk" http://huff.to/2g7D69Q "
Of course, i could go on and on but a new day will bring more tales of the absurd, more defensive tweets about how he won the popular vote, more disastrous cabinet picks, more billionaires (so we drain the swamp of politicians and fill the swamp with billionaires who not only know nothing of politics and diplomacy and statesmanship, but cares little or nothing about the poor Americans (i.e. the 99%) they asupposedly serve. Sad!
