You can always hear the media speak about the powerful Billionaires like Warren Buffet, Soros, Koch Brothers, etc.

All their money didn't help to elect the people of their choice

The Koch Brothers tried to get Romney elected in 2012.

Soros wanted Hillary.

Buffet wanted Hillary.

We The People wanted Trump!

You are aware only 1/4 of the population voted for Trump, right? It is easier to argue that more people didn't want Hillary or that liberal voters are too concentrated in liberal states. We the people didn't want Trump, only some of the people wanted Trump.

But he is going to be the next president, so I am just gonna sit back and watch this crap show unfold, and hope his mistakes don't effect me and my family too much.

You guys fell for Nutty Don's marketing. His lies turning into the old GOP stand-byes. Lower taxes on the rich and remove safe guards for the economy and environment.

By the way Koch Brothers have one of their GOP representatives going into the cabinet. The Representative from the district their headquarters are in.

Actually, more of 'we' wanted someone else but we know facts are of little importance when Trump's involved.

I've argued this for years. I argued it all through this election and I was told that money would win.

It did not.

Seriously Trump is an elitist East Coast (Manhattan!) billionaire himself who has been heavily involved with American politicians and foreign government officials for decades.

Hillary had TWICE as much money and the entire media and Hollywood celebs on her side and she still lost. Imagine if it was an equal playing field. Trump would have won in a landslide. Thank God for alternative media and the Internet. 20 years ago this would not have been possible.

Oh, but they are more powerful that we the people...

"DeVos quickly accepted the nomination, which continues a trend that officials involved in previous transition teams say is concerning because, like many of Trump’s other early picks, she has no previous experience in government."

And, of course, there is Romney, and Bannon... all people with loads of money and no government experience. But, hey, that's what 'we the trumpists' wanted, right?

Donald Trump

The "people" are rallying against Romney. The vote was for people not part of the failed politics of the past.
