Cabinet Nominees Gave Trump Combined $37 Million

Rolling Stone reports:

Donald Trump is rewarding many of his donors with important roles in his upcoming administration. Almost three dozen people tapped to serve in his White House donated to his campaign or to groups that supported his election, according to a CNN analysis of federal campaign records.

A dozen of Biden’s cabinet picks gave to his campaign or pro-Biden super PACs, but donations by Trump’s cabinet picks dwarf their total contributions. In total, Biden’s cabinet nominees gave less than $100,000 while Trump’s picks and their spouses gave a combined total of more than $37 million.

Eccentric billionaire Elon Musk tops the list when it comes to donations, giving $262.9 million to support Trump’s campaign, which earned him the distinction of being the largest political donor in the 2024 election cycle.

CNN reports “8 incoming Cabinet picks (so far) & their spouses donated over $37 million combined from their personal accounts to aid Trump.”

Government of the billionaires, by the billionaires, for the billionaires.

But tell me again how Democrats don’t get the working class?
