"“Every day, the people will rule more,” promised Hugo Chavez in 2011 (http://www.todochavez.gob.ve/todochavez/382-intervencion-del-comandante-presidente-hugo-chavez-durante-acto-de-asignacion-de-viviendas-a-familias-afectadas-por-las-lluvias). “The people will be the ones who decide,” said Nicolás Maduro last year (http://www.eltribuno.info/maduro-el-pueblo-sera-quien-decida-n660237). Erdogan (http://www.nytimes.com/live/turkey-coup-erdogan/erdogan-there-is-no-power-higher-than-the-power-of-the-people/224172,d.amc): “There is no power higher than the power of the people.” Generally, the greater the invocation of the people, the greater the president’s cronies will be fleecing the country. These are definitely not the people.


Trump has already brought more billionaires in to the Washington establishment than any other president, with a cabinet worth $14bn combined. These include CEOs and officials of the very banks that profited off of the immiseration of those ordinary Americans that Trump promises will rule again. There is much work, and much pillaging, to be done."

It is a refreshing change to bring accomplished, successful people into the cabinet, isn't it?

“the people will become the rulers of this nation again”

“controlled by the people”.

What are these billionaires going to do on behalf of "the people"?

They are there to implement President Trump's America First agenda. Isn't that obvious?

Pillaging? No American President ever pillaged more than Obama -- $9 Trillion Plus in debt. NINE TRILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT.

You don't seem to know what the word pillage means.

It is more of a plundering, I suppose. Obama and the feckless, utterly worthless Republican Congress have promised to make our children and grandchildren paupers or slaves to the state. Their future wealth was consumed, in part, to enrich friends of Democrats.

I know precisely what it means. I wordsmith for a living, remember that.
