Trump to nominate Elaine Chao for transportation post: source
November 29, 2016
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President-elect Donald Trump plans to nominate former Labor Secretary Elaine Chao to head the Transportation Department, a source with knowledge of the decision said on Tuesday.The source, who requested anonymity, confirmed the pick to Reuters. Chao, the wife of Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, served as labor secretary under President George W. Bush and was the first Asian-American woman to hold a Cabinet position. The formal announcement was expected Tuesday afternoon.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” former vice president Biden said during a campaign event in Texas on Monday. "All men and women created by — you know, you know, the thing.”

Yes you are.
And your contempt for the safety of miners is duly noted.
Fear not.
A gutless administrator is sure to save you from discussion in a moment.

I'm not convinced of that, Man. It appears it's becoming quite an assemblage of Washington 'insiders' and billionaires. I heard the figure of 35 billion as the collective wealth of his appointments so far. It's hard for me to relate to those he's appointed just as it must be hard for them to relate to me.
From my perspective, his administration is looking like it's becoming a plutocratic oligarchy and the business of governing moving toward autocracy.

FWIW, I think any president's cabinet is going to be full of billionaires and insiders.
You're just not going to appoint Mike the Butcher from Hoboken to be Secretary of Labor.
That said, appointing Chao to a cabinet position just smacks of a favor to Mitch McConnell.
I think you're going to see a lot of different United States of America over the next three, four, or eight years. - President Donald J. Trump
