The president's "ban" has already proven ineffective, ignored and unenforced.

Trump lobbying ban weakens Obama's ethics rules

If he hadn't promised to drain the swamp, the staffers turned lobbyists and the wealthiest cabinet in history might have gone unnoticed.

At least nine Trump staffers register as lobbyists

Yup -- he gave them waivers.

But -- nobody is really talking about it - a few here that are into political stuff.

Pretty shocking to see the amount of wealth in the White House and the speed at wish Trump has broken his promises.

What is wrong with people having money?



You guys are freaking crazy to think people would only enrich themselves or rich people are not virtuous. Some people don't care about money. Rex Tillerson dumped his 24 million job for example.

What's wrong with successful people who actually know how to manage running the show? Do we really want a know nothing and achieved nothing community organizer to be in charge?

Rex Tillerson of Exxon would take a big pay cut as Trump secretary of state - Dec. 12, 2016
why are you banging your head? do you not understand something as simple as chart showing comparative wealth? the chart is intended to make it clear where TRumps primary interests lie.

There is nothing inherently wrong with being Rich, but knowing how much money he has and how it compares to other POTUS over the years..

IT is relevant and i think you know it.
