Not just the establishment, but he's going into the belly of the beast and hiring Goldman Sachs guys. Where's the Libertarian outrage over appointing banksters to top posts?
They like him because he's a straight shooter who tells it like it is and means what he says, don't they?

Sounds like Putin is starting to give Trump some marching orders already.

I love right-wing memes like this. Can't even spell "gibberish" correctly.

which would you rather have in government positions, people who have real industry experience who can make the right changes to make things better, or people with no industry experience that are going to make regulations willy nilly regardless of what works and what doesnt?

Again i am not saying impeach trump just if this is of any concern.
Let's see if President Trump can follow through on his pledge to not allow his appointees to lobby the government when they leave his administration for x number of years.

You can't just fill the jobs with a bunch of academics or recent grads with no work experience. I bet most are temporary hires and will be replaced.

That's fair. That would interrupt the revolving door, to what extend I don't know but it would be a step in the right direction.
I I think he could of going less connected people to the lobbying world, for people without trump colored glasses it would seem a lot like the fox building the henhouse.

Once again where did he lie? Where did he say he was only bringing in people with no clue what they are doing? He has always said he hires the best that he can to do the job, so far he seems to be trying to do just that, even if you do not like who he is bringing on, he never hid it and you guys cannot seem to handle the fact that some of us actually are happy with these guys.
