Trump pledged during his campaign to “drain the swamp”.
He pledged to get the establishment out of Washington DC, choose people who would empathize with the working middle class, and avoid Wall Street, constantly referring to Hillary Clinton as “Crooked Hillary” because, among other things, she gave a speech to Wall Street bankers. Even Ted Cruz’s wife was condemned for having worked for Goldman Sachs.
Now he is choosing those who will work closely with him in the White House, and so far he has picked:
Steven Mnuchin a partner at Goldman Sachs as his Treasury secretary and Wilbur Ross, of W.L. Ross & Co., a distressed debt investor, and a bondholder in Trump’s Taj Mahal.
For Attorney General he picked Jeff Sessions, a Washington inside who thinks Special Education kids bring down schools and who is an anti-immigration senator with a history of poor race relations which had been th reason he was denied a judgeship.
The CIA Director’s position goes to Mike Pompeo, who is a strong critic of the Iran nuclear deal, and was a leader of the controversial Benghazi Committee.
For Education he wants Betsy DeVos, a Republican megadonor from Michigan, and a champion of alternatives to local government schools and the use of tax credits and vouchers to allow parents to opt out of the public school system.
For Health and Human Services it’s Tom Price who opposes Obamacare, and is willing to end insurance millions of Americans who finally got insurance with it, but will lose without it.
National Security Advisor will be Retired Lieutenant General Michael Flynn who served as top military counsel to Trump in his campaign and is stridently Islamophobic.
The Transportation position is Elaine Chao’s, the wife of Mitch McConnell, Majority Leader of the GOP Senate. She served as the deputy secretary of transportation in the George W Bush administration.
For Ambassador to the UN his pick is Nikki Haley South Carolina’s governor.
The new Chief of Staff will be Reince Priebus, Head of the Republican National Committee.
Chief Strategist already is Steve Bannon the executive chairman of conservative news platform Breitbart, the news source of the so-called White Supremacists, and who favors racism and white nationalism.
He wants Donald McGahn for White House Counsel. McGahn is thr former commissioner and chairman of the Federal Election Commission, and, as a partner at the Jones Day law firm in Washington, represents “elected officials, candidates, national state parties, political consultants, and others on political law issues”.

He still is carrying on interviews for other positions in the style of his Apprentice reality show causing some former enemies to suddenly express bro-mance attitudes toward him.
He has Rudy Giuliani who has always loved him vying with Mitt Romney who said he could not be trusted, but having a shot at Secretary of State has suddenly found him to be one hell of a guy, and general David Petraeus who gave state secrets to his mistress.
Homeland Security could go to Fran Townsend, the former Homeland Security advisor to President George W. Bush, Marine General John Kelly, and Congressman Michael McCaul, the head of the House Homeland Security Committee.
His nominees, those who need senate approval and those who don’t, share some things in common. They are not Blue Collar people, but millionaires and billionaires, have connections to Wall Street, are anti-Gay, and have military connections.
More importantly, they are the establishment that Trump claimed he was against.
As far as his military prospects for White House positions he has Michael Flynn, Jack Keane, James Mattis, David Petraeus , and John Kelly.
We are a civilian country with a civilian government, and if too many military people get into the White House, that could be seen as a junta.
As retired Army lieutenant colonel and military scholar, Andrew Bacevich, explained, “One more three or four-star general given a senior appointment, and we can start referring to a Trump junta rather than a Trump Administration”.
A militarily top heavy administration could have a strong military approach to foreign policy, especially with Petraeus as Secretary of State.
It would appear that as Trump drained the swamp he merely changed the denizens that had lived in it with different ones, and is putting the water back in.
None of his potential cabinet members and advisers have any real connection with the middle class and the poor. But certainly have connections with the 1%.
Many are also Washington insiders or people connected to them.
People got what they were convinced they wanted.
