💰 Trump’s choices for top government positions look more like a billionaires’ club

It appears that many of the people tapped by US President-elect Donald Trump for his upcoming administration have at least one thing in common – they are rich. Filthy rich.

▪️Elon Musk, SpaceX founder and X owner who will lead Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has a net worth of over $335 billion.

▪️The net worth of Trump’s pick for the NASA administrator, Shift4 Payments founder Jared Isaacman, is estimated at $1.9 billion.

▪️Vivek Ramaswamy, the entrepreneur who also was tapped for DOGE, has approximately $1 billion to his name.

▪️Businessman and former Soros Fund Management partner Scott Bessent, nominated for Treasury secretary, also has a net worth of $1 billion.

▪️The family of Charles Kushner, father of Trump’s son-in-law and likely future US ambassador to France, has a net worth of $7.1 billion.

▪️World Wrestling Entertainment co-founder Linda McMahon, Trump’s choice for secretary of education, has a net worth of about $3.2 billion together with her husband Vince McMahon with whom she is currently separated.

▪️The net worth of financier Howard Lutnick, who may become the next secretary of commerce, has been estimated by US media to be at least $2.5 billion, and possibly even more.

The combined net worth of the Trump 2.0 administration has been estimated by media outlets such as the New York magazine at over $340 billion – a massive increase from the $6 billion his previous cabinet was worth.

❌ Yoon set to be impeached after key ally U-turns and calls him threat to public

South Korea’s ruling party chief has accused President Yoon Suk-yeol of being a danger to his people after a botched attempt to impose martial law.

In stunning comments that raise the prospect of Yoon being impeached within days, Han Dong-hoon, the head of Yoon’s People Power Party, said there was now “credible evidence” that the president ordered the arrest of key politicians on Tuesday night.

It means the impeachment Bill that will go before South Korea’s lawmakers on Saturday looks more likely to pass.

⚠️ WAR CRIMES: UK Judge Rules Sufficient Evidence to Charge British Army’s ‘Soldier F’ with Murder on Bloody Sunday

‘Soldier F’ - who cannot be identified – will stand trial for murdering James Wray and William McKinney when members of the British Army Parachute Regiment shot dead 13 civil rights protesters on the streets of Derry, Ireland in January 1972.

The judge also ruled that he will be tried for five attempted murders on the infamous day dubbed Bloody Sunday.

In June, ‘Soldier F’s defense team made an application for the case to be dismissed ahead of a trial, arguing there was an “insufficiency of evidence” against him.

‘Soldier F’ pled not guilty to all charges from behind a screen in court.
