I think any president's cabinet is going to be full of billionaires and insiders.
Maybe so, Lager, but I thought the campaign promise was to 'drain the swamp'. I guess we can throw that one on the dung heap.

Just back from our annual turkey day getaway, and from talking to various people we met from Canada, Mexico, UK, France, other western and Eastern European countries, Asians, and middle eastern countries; their consensus is that American voters have gone a little nuts by electing Trump. They are very apprehensive about what the resulting impact of a Trump presidency will have on the U.S. and it's effect on the world.
From my perspective, his cabinet picks thus far are reason for concern based on their decisions in their past positions for the same reasons as the assessments in this article:

Indeed.
The change coming is more of the same. The swamp will not be drained, just refilled.
I just don't see the man changing his stripes or actually putting in the time it requires to be a POTUS for ALL of the people.

We now know why Pence needed to stay with his Indiana governor's job and why Carrier is staying in Indiana and not moving to Mexico. Pence, Trump's little follow-behind-puppy, had at his discretion a large sum of Indiana taxpayer money to dish out at will. Carrier received $700,000 of this money as an incentive to stay in Indiana. No state legislature approval required! Will Trump now take credit for keeping Carrier in the U. S.?
