A Trump campaign aide who argues that Democrats committed "ethnic cleansing" in a plot to "liquidate" the white working class.

A former reality show contestant whose study of societal collapse inspired him to invent a bow-and-arrow-cum-survivalist multi-tool. A pair of healthcare industry lobbyists.

A lobbyist for defense contractors. An "evangelist" and lobbyist for Palantir, the Silicon Valley company with close ties to intelligence agencies. And a New Hampshire Trump supporter who has only recently graduated from high school.

During the campaign, Trump said he would have "no problem" banning lobbyists from his administration. But they have nonetheless ended up in senior roles, aided by Trump's weakening of Obama-era ethics rules that modestly limited lobbyists' role in government.

The blonde pumpkin is doing a fine job draining the swamp and filling it back up with sewer water.
 
Some presidents have think tanks and this one has a septic tank.
 
So...he's hired 400 people, of which, you are critical of 30 of them. So, you dislike....what...7% of his hires?

Apparently not refined enough for the snoots on the Left.

Didn't go to the right schools or have the proper crease in their trousers.

The point is who he hired, especially considering during the campaign he went around talking about the evils of lobbyists and how he's going to "drain the swamp". His actions do not match his statements.

The article listed 3 lobbyists, from the 400 people.

Careful now, you will accuse the poster of being one of them East Coast Liberals, oh wait, that would be Trump.
 
A truly giant news flash. The Trump administration is hiring people to fill positions in his administration.
But remember they are doing this "quietly" and then the article goes on to attack different people who
were hired. What a story a new administration hires people. Guess what no matter who they hired the
media would be complaining about them. This just seems that people are still having problems grasping
that Trump won after weeks and weeks of the media telling us there was no way he would win!

The billionaire elite end Ivy Leaguers have brought us permanent war and oppression of our civil liberties. Any change to that dynamic is welcome. Blue collar people are good at practicle snd pragmatic solutions instead of Ivory Tower hallucinations. Thimk positive. sarcasm.

Am I the only one who thinks there is something a little odd about that hyphenated word?

I hear that Trump's jacket doesn't have the requisite 15 pieces of flair, too.

Yeah, hiring successful people is bad... until he hires people you don't see as successful, then that is bad too!

Except for dictatorially signing EO's which will be summarily & easily repealed when the next administration takes place, please feel free to share this administration's successes!

So, in the same way you oppose hiring successful people until you don't think his hires are successful, you support EOs by Obama, but now EOs that undo Obama's EOs are dictatorial?

Undoing an EO that granted government more power over the population is the opposite of dictatorial....

Dictatorially unsigning EO's dictatorially signed by the previous President.
