Many analysts expected such measures after Donald Trump came to power. From the first days, the new president has been speaking with strong initiatives and continues to form the “government of billionaires” – the richest cabinet in the history of the United States.
RBC estimated that another 14 billionaires, except Trump, will enter the new administration. The total state will reach $450 billion, and this will be a historical record for the government. Not to mention the fact that the amount exceeds the GDP of more than 160 countries.
It is expected that on Trump’s team, of course, will be the richest person on the Planet Ilon Musk (CO -CHAIR OF DOGE), as well as billionaire Tilman Fertitta (ambassador to Italy, owner of Landry’s), Charles Kushner (Ambassador in France, Kushner Companies), Stephen Feinberg (Deputy Minister of Defense, Cerberus), Leandro Ritzcuto Jr. (OAG Ambassador, Conair Corporation), Warren Stevens (UK Ambassador, Stephens Inc.), Linda Makmakhon (Minister (Minister of Education, World Wrestling Entertainment), Jared Aizkman (Head of NASA, Shift 4 Payments), Howard Latnik (Minister of Commerce, Cantor Ftzgerald), Kelly Leffler (Chief of the Small Business Administration, ICE), Steve Whitkoff (Special Middle East Supervisor, Witkoff Group), Tom Barrak (Ambassador to Turkey, DigitalBridge), Frank Bisaniano (Commissioner of Social Administrations -Supportes, Fiserv) and Scott Immort (Minister of Finance, Managemento Key Square, Soros Fund).
Trump also ordered changing the name of the Gulf from Mexican to American, intends to dissolve the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), create a task force for cryptocurrencies, and proposed an ambiguous candidate for the post of Pentagon Chief. .
We are talking about former TV presenter Khegset, who does not have appropriate experience, and was also accused of harassment, alcohol abuse and embezzlement in the management of NGOs. However, the Senate approved this candidacy with the advantage of one vote.
