Trump Campaigned Against Lobbyists, but Now They’re on His Transition Team

WASHINGTON - President-elect Donald J. Trump, who campaigned against the corrupt power of special interests, is filling his transition team with some of the very sort of people who he has complained have too much clout in Washington: corporate consultants and lobbyists

i think this is exactly where it is going. trump is one of the biggest benefactors of the current system. why would he change that to save these people that he clearly thinks are beneath him. i'm waiting for the day when the people who supported him and put him in the whitehouse realises he is not going to deliver.

am concerned regarding trump being a real threat to abortion, health care and climate change.

idk Trump is now also saying he likes the main components of Obamacare "very much" and is considering keeping key parts of the health care bill intact. I know Paul Ryan is salivating over health care privatization but maybe Trump will keep some parts of Obamacare just to piss him off lol.

He also campaigned against foreign lobbying and Russia and Assange brought him to power.

Well, we knew he was a hypocrite, right? I'm not surprised by this at all, lol!

If he doesn't contradict himself, I'd be very surprised.

He changes positions so often I can't believe his voters trusted him to stick to any kind of basic platform.
