MEMORANDUM<\/strong>
TO: Interested Parties
FROM: Rosemary Boeglin, DNC Communications Director\u00a0
DATE: January 13, 2024
RE: Donald Trump\u2019s Stacking His Cabinet With Billionaires Who Will Put Wall Street Over Main Street<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Donald Trump\u2019s Cabinet is on track to be the wealthiest in American history, stacked with out-of-touch, special interest billionaires who are looking out for themselves and their balance sheets over working families. From tax handouts to the ultra-rich and big corporations, to price hikes that would devastate working families, Trump is making no secret of the fact that his administration will serve the wealthy and well-connected \u2014 not hardworking Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the American people are gearing up for a transfer of power from the most pro-worker administration in American history to the most pro-billionaire administration, it\u2019s becoming painfully clear that Americans voted for Trump on false economic promises that he\u2019s already walking back<\/a> before Day One. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Trump heads to the Oval Office in January and Republicans on the Hill begin negotiating a tax deal, their primary focus will be the balance sheets of Trump\u2019s mega-donors and ultra-rich Cabinet secretaries, not the checkbooks of working families across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Trump\u2019s billionaire Cabinet begins confirmation hearings this week, Democrats will hold them accountable for their lies.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump is stacking key positions in his administration with billionaire loyalists \u2014 from the Treasury Department and the so-called Department of Government Efficiency to the Office of Management and Budget.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s administration includes more billionaires<\/a> than any other in American history, with a combined net worth that exceeds the GDP of 172 different countries<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of the billionaires Trump has tapped to join his administration:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
