I mean, it's not like Trump made his cabinet full of rich people that stand to profit or have their donors profit from his actions.
His treasury secretary is a Goldman Sachs veteran...
State secretary is an outgoing chairman of ExxonMobil...
Scott Pruitt, Attorney General, A climate change denier and director of the EPA.
Betsy DeVos, Education, you know, the billionaire that spent most of her life trying to destroy public education.
The Secretary of Labor is a former CEO of a fast food company. The guy who is going to protect workers rights.
Going even further is depressing. His entire cabinet is made up of massively rich, interest-conflicted, and people who are completely unqualified for their positions (either legally, or professionally).

Do you live in a bubble?
Do you?

Do we have to post all of Obama's cabinet appointees that were rich?
You can, but it wouldn't make any sort of point. I'm not talking about Obama, nor did I comment on Obama's cabinet.

Did you vote for Hillary who was "dead broke " when she and Bill left office and are nor
MULTI-MILLIONAIRES?
What are you even talking about? I didn't vote during the Clinton administration because I wasn't old enough to. Did I vote for Hilary this election cycle? No. I voted for Bernie in the primary, but that was all.

The rest of your list is just people who do NOT agree with YOU.
They don't agree with exactly the department that they're going to be running. It's like putting Walmart in charge of workers rights... or more accurately, McDonalds. Oh wait, that's pretty much what happened.
How many cabinet appointees in recent history WEREN'T rich? Those posts tend to get filled by successful people. They're not plucked randomely from the ranks of the middle class who are making an honest but undistinguished living for themselves.

That's not the point at all, it's the conflicts of interest that are the problem.

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has instituted what it described as a temporary media blackout at the Environmental Protection Agency and barred staff from awarding any new contracts or grants
Similar orders barring external communications have been issued by the Trump administration at other federal agencies in recent days, including the Agriculture and Interior departments.
This is unprecedented in the history of our nation. But business as usual under dictators.
There is if the media's own self appointed purpose is to attack his decisions about EPA instead of responsibly reporting his decisions to the public.
