Summary

Donald Trump is forming the wealthiest administration in U.S. history, collectively worth over $330 billion.

Billionaires like Elon Musk ($300B), Linda McMahon, and Vivek Ramaswamy are key appointees, alongside ultra-wealthy Cabinet members.

Musk and Ramaswamy will lead a new Department of Government Efficiency, pushing for deep public spending cuts.

The administration’s combined wealth far surpasses that of Joe Biden’s Cabinet and rivals the GDP of some nations.

Critics argue this contrasts with Trump’s populist messaging, while Senate confirmations could spotlight wealth disparities.

    When he said drain the swamp he meant drain all the money into offshore accounts and bitcoin and leave the citizens high and dry.

      Bitcoin will be temporary. They’ll dump it at some point and create a whole shitton of bag holders.

        Maybe when it hits a million or something in that range. I dunno, though, I’ve been hearing this kind of thing for 15 years or so. Not that it won’t happen, I guess, but it seems like they are waiting a very long time…

    I’m sure they will also see the largest increase in personal wealth of any administration.

    Bunch of dummies voted for these guys because they thought Democrats are were a bunch of “elitist” eggheads (the tribe that rubs shit in their hair has equated being smart and knowing things and even basic fucking proficiency with “elitist”) and they felt they were being talked down by some mythological group of “Democrats” they’ve probably never actually interacted with.

    Now they’ve handed the country to a bunch of demonic ACTUAL elites that are intent on destroying the country. Well done.

    Mmmmm… I haven’t read the article but I suspect it’s not true when factoring the Harding administration and inflation.

    Might need to exclude Musk, but I bet it’s not far off.

    So, the slogan of Make America Great Again meant that the Ultra Wealthiest will go ahead and distribute their wealth with those in real need in the USA.

    Trump’s Team of Billionaires Will Be the Wealthiest Administration in U.S. History

    Hell yeah! The stars have aligned!

    America was headed toward doom through the liberal left. I don’t actually particularly like Trump, but he’s a means toward an end.

    God bless America.
