You people loath success, yet are complete hypocrites when it comes to wealthy Liberals.

So sad that the left is trying so hard to be relevant and failing so badly at it.
The left can try to be relevant, but since 2010, they have been vanishing. Now they have 0 power. That is why they are crying. Can't blame the losers for crying. They lost.

well, Generally you want successful people to be placed in cabinet positions, and wealth is often a way of measuring success. The bigger concern is how that wealth was generated .

Trump made a lot of promises to the people of the country. Let us see if he fulfills it.

This is a big bright red flag and please explain how this is the cabinet of a guy that sympathizes with the everyday Joe? I know it is difficult for folks to admit that they were duped but at least have the integrity to pull your unwavering support and watch him very closely while not allowing him to fool you even further.
Well I can guarantee they'll do a lot better than a cabinet chosen for race, gender, and sexual orientation, that's for sure.

It's a cabinet, not a class picture. You bring in people who have actually succeeded at something in life. Not people that happen to have the right label. Pay attention.

How does wealth automatically disqualify one from doing a job?

FDR's picks were also stacked and picked the biggest stock market con-man to head the SEC.

More trying to divide the country from the regressive left.

It seems to me that these guys are unlikely to purposefully do anything that will shake the system up too terribly and endanger their wealth. That will probably be good for those of us who have been doing relatively well in the current economy. I suspect those who have been struggling will continue to struggle and will find that services will be cut, further pinching their budgets.

Trump voters love the new cabinet, and we won.

You lost.
Why do you love the new cabinet.

Isn't it obvious? He is so in love with the Republican party that they can do no wrong in his eyes

Not difficult at all. Trump is picking folks that know how to prosper, and how to make us prosperous, unlike Hillary, who only knew how to make money off her job, for herself. What part of that didn't you understand? If your going to lead a Country, you need capable Leaders.
