Donald Trump is Filling His Cabinet With Big Donors.

With his choice of restaurant executive Andrew Puzder to serve as his Labor secretary, President-elect Donald Trump has now tapped six big donors and fundraisers to serve in his administration, lining up an unprecedented concentration of wealthy backers for top posts.

Together with their families, Trump's nominees gave $11.6 million to support his presidential bid, his allied super PACs and the Republican National Committee, according to a Washington Post analysis of federal campaign filings.

One single appointee — WWE co-founder Linda McMahon — contributed $7.5 million to back his White House run before Trump selected her to run the Small Business Administration this week. She and her husband Vince were also the top outside donors to Trump's private foundation.

But longtime watchers of money in politics cannot recall any president in recent history who has filled a Cabinet with so many major donors.

1. Quite the opposite of his "drain the swamp" campaign pledge.

Of course we know that a pathological liar like him will say anything. I expect that the swamp will be much deeper by the time he gets through.

2. he just never said that he was going to replace it with a cesspool.

4. Compare this to Hillary allowing

someone who donated to charity to have a 15 minute meeting with her.

6. If Hillary even gave *ONE* of her donors a cabinet position...

The GOP would be calling for her head!
