After running on a working-class message, Trump fills his government with billionaires

The article from PBS NewsHour discusses the apparent contradiction between Donald Trump's campaign rhetoric, which emphasized a pro-working-class message, and his subsequent appointments of numerous billionaires and multimillionaires to key positions in his administration. Despite Trump's promises to represent the interests of the working class, his cabinet and advisory team include figures like Betsy DeVos, a billionaire education secretary with no public school experience, and Wilbur Ross, a billionaire commerce secretary known for his wealth from steel and coal industries. Critics argue that these appointments favor the elite, potentially undermining Trump's pledge to "drain the swamp" of Washington insiders and special interests. The article highlights the disconnect between Trump's populist campaign promises and the reality of his administration's composition, suggesting a shift towards policies that might benefit the wealthy rather than the average American worker.
