NotfooledbyW ccclxii. to 361.: What to watch: Still, by rewarding so many of his biggest donors and billionaire allies with plum postings, Trump could risk flying too close to the sun.
With every billionaire appointee comes a minefield of conflicts of interest and ethical concerns — exactly the kind of
swampy conditions that Trump has vowed to drain.

Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) — that characterizes America today as an "oligarchy."
The bottom line: Musk already has previewed the kind of clumsy messaging that could allow Democrats to paint Trump's billionaires as woefully out of touch.
"We have to reduce spending to live within our means," Musk — whose PAC spent
nearly $200 million to help Trump get elected —
declared at town halldays before the election.
"And, you know, that necessarily involves some temporary hardship, but it will ensure long-term prosperity," the world's richest man added.

The truly rich are Democrats who reside mainly in big cities on the east and west coasts. Most notable are Billionaire Oprah Winfrey, Billionaire George Soros, Billionaire Warren Buffett, Billionaire Bill Gates of Microsoft, Billionaire, Billionaire Peter Lewis of Progressive Insurance, Billionaire Senator John Kerry, Millionaire Senator Ted Kennedy, Millionaire Senator Harry Reid, Millionaire Representative Nancy Pelosi, Millionaire former President Bill Clinton, and Millionaire President Barack Obama, as well as all of the millionaire Limousine Liberals in New York and Hollywood.".
