#PromisesKept https://www.propublica.org/article/...ists-whove-worked-in-the-trump-administration Update: We Found a “Staggering” 281 Lobbyists Who’ve Worked in the Trump Administration That’s one lobbyist for every 14 political appointees, and four times more than Obama appointed in half the time. At the halfway mark of President Donald Trump’s first term, his administration has hired a lobbyist for every 14 political appointments made, welcoming a total of 281 lobbyists on board, a ProPublica and Columbia Journalism Investigations analysis shows. With a combination of weakened rules and loose enforcement easing the transition to government and back to K Street, Trump’s swamp is anything but drained. The number of lobbyists who have served in government jobs is four times more than the Obama administration had six years into office. And former lobbyists serving Trump are often involved in regulating the industries they worked for.
It is everything that sensible people predicted he would bring and worse. I guess he will make a last (hopefully last) attempt to blame people around him. Rogue Rudy or whatever he is going to spout next.
