Mainecat Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 "Staggering" 281 Lobbyists Who've Worked in the Trump Administration 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.

racer254 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 That's the problem with these asshats. They are too busy degrading the current administration without looking into the past. And I don't want to hear about how trump said this and that. Obama said he wasn't going to have that many lobbyists in his administration.
