Trump's Billionaire Cabinet Raises Ethics Concerns
Donald Trump is assembling a cabinet of billionaires and multimillionaires worth a combined $340 billion, marking the wealthiest administration in U.S. history. This move contrasts with his campaign's appeal to working-class voters, as many of his appointees are poised to cut public spending on services for the poor. Notable figures include Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who will lead a new department focused on government efficiency. Critics argue this approach favors the wealthy and may lead to significant tax cuts for the rich at the expense of essential services.
