Nothing wrong with successful businessmen, but many people might consider that these folks are being selected not for their business skills but their financial support for Trump. Would be more accurate to say we are getting government-by-billionaire-donors here.
I think it’s worth considering the possibility that many people consider government-by-successful-businessman to be authentically preferable and more populist than government-by-professors.
Besides Donald Trump, Elon Musk and his fellow DOGE head Vivek Ramaswamy, at least 11 billionaires will be serving key roles in the administration.
Whether it acts as a government for billionaires could test and potentially tarnish Trump's populist legacy. trib.al/gExhwrT

The time, effort, and money that people spent protesting Biden, only to get the worst possible outcome for Palestinians, could have been directed towards beating Trump and Harris could have won the blue wall and therefore the election.
