Trump is gathering a band of criminals, alcoholics, sexual abusers, fantasy theorists, failed candidates, billionaires and millionaires. He is creating a coven of people, most without experience in the offices, a few who have some experience, many with lots of money, but all who bend at the knee before Trump.
The net worth of the president-elect sits at $6.1 billion (Forbes’ December 6). He counts many billionaires and millionaires among his advisors and cabinet nominees. Elon Musk, net worth $355B. Spent $119M on Trump’s campaign. Vivek Ramaswamy, worth $1.1B. Warren Stephens, US ambassador to Britain nominee, worth $3.4B, donated $3.5M to Trump. Jared Isaacman, who is worth $1.8 billion, to head NASA. Howard Lutnick, Commerce Secretary, from Wall Street, worth more than $1.5B. Steven Witkoff for special Middle East envoy, as well as the co chair of his inaugural committee. He is worth at least $1B. Scott Bessent (Hedge fund manager), for Treasury secretary, is likely a billionaire though Forbes has not yet crowned him one. Donated $3M to Trump. McMahon donated $15M to Trump’s campaign and is married to Vincent McMahon, the former executive chair of WWE-owner TKO Group Holdings, worth $3B. Kelly Loeffler, tapped to serve as Admin. of the Small Business Administration. Forbes estimated her and her husband’s combined net worth at about $800M. A few of his picks.
Those who said they didn’t want elites running their country missed Trump’s point. Those who denied he was a grifter probably frequent a Trump store. Yes, they won a great economy, with tons of jobs, a low crime rate, and currently eggs are selling on avg. $2.52, let’s see what the 2027 figures look like.
