Donald Trump has blatantly disregarded his supposedly "populist" campaign and promises to "drain the swamp" of money in politics. He has shown himself as a self-promoter, con man, and the most unpopular presidential candidate in modern political history.

Trump's Cabinet picks give us alarm that his administration will be deeply connected with Wall Street and big money. As of December 22, his 17 appointees have more wealth than the bottom 43 million American households combined, according to the End Citizens United Action Network.
