RFK Jr. Cabinet Nomination: Dozens Of Nobel Winners Urge Senate To Reject Trump’s HHS Pick

More than 75 Nobel laureates have signed onto a letter urging senators to reject the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., president-elect Donald Trump’s pick for Health and Human Services secretary, warning a confirmation “would put the public’s health in jeopardy and undermine America’s global leadership in the health sciences.”

Before the election around 35 Nobel Laureates in economics signed a statement claiming they believed that harris' plan for the economy was better than trumps. I haven't seen exact numbers, but I would suspect some around 85-95% of economists that aren't funded by the government would disagree that harris' plan is better for the economy that trump's long-term.

I say this only to point out that Nobel Laureates tend to paid by the government and they tend to lean left.

Here's a crazy stat:
Forbes reported in 2021 that President Joe Biden’s Cabinet had a net worth of about $188 million.

The Guardian puts the net worth of Trump’s gang thus far at more than $300 billion. If you believe in math, it's a staggering sum, about 2,000 times the wealth of those in the Biden administration.

I'm sure Trump's staff and key advisors will be there, fighting for the average Joe, working class guy.

How many things is Trump already backtracking on?

that's a very bad faithed argument

nearly all of that is elon musk

and lol at trying to paint a group with an average wealth of 12 million dollars as a cabinet of the people... jfc that's a cringe exercise in confirmation bias

Trump Walks Back Grocery Prices Promise

"they want to be able to buy groceries at a reasonable price
and not have to turn off their heat in order to buy two apples."

But when asked if he'd be able to bring grocery costs down once in office,
Trump admitted that while he was optimistic,
"It's hard to bring things down once they're up. You know, it's very hard."

Vivek, McMahon, Lutnick, Thiel... any one of those is 8x+ all of Biden's admin and advisors.

Excluding Vivek and Elon, the cabinet exceeds $13 billion in wealth. Billionaires are in a completely different class than millionaires.

Neither party works for the people of the country. It's an one party system which is obvious in foreign policy. You can argue a country ought to have a consistent foreign policy irrespective of the leader.

Which President has the guts to tell the American people why manufacturing left the country who had the courage to say that manufacturing is not returning unless the people are willing to sacrifice. Neither the population will accept it nor will any leader ask this of his people who have elected him. They all continue to live in denial.

Trump's people mostly got themselves rich through entrepreneurial spirit and the American dream.

Biden's people got themselves rich after they became politicians and started fleecing the American people.
