Trump has wasted no time announcing his nominations for his administration. While much of the air has been sucked up by Matt Gaetz (for good reason!), it's a long list. I’ve been trying to think of a way to give you a comprehensive list though new ones are being added every single day.
This weekend alone Trump selected longtime loyalist and deep state crusader Kash Patel to run the FBI and convicted felon and Ivanka’s father-in-law Charles Kushner to be the ambassador to France.
While I was sorting through all of them over the holiday I noticed a lot of similarities. So instead of doing a standard list I thought we would do some comparisons.
How many of these picks have crossed Trump’s TV screen on Fox News? How many are Trump’s neighbors in Florida? And last, but not least, how many are billionaires or RICH RICH.
Of Trump’s top 35 nominees, 60% matched one of these 3 criteria!!

I’ve heard from a lot of you that this is the first time you’ve followed cabinet appointments so closely and I don’t blame you. There’s a lot at stake right now, but there is also a lot to keep track of! This is going to be a long, complicated road probably with a few twists and turns. The nomination process will likely begin quickly after the inauguration.
