The billionaires who will make up the majority of (nominated) Trump cabinet are (like the boss) walking, talking conflicts of interest.

Which is, of course, one of the reasons they were invited to join. They'll cash in, and as in any gangster operation, a cut of the loot will find its way to Dear Leader and his family.

Trump's first administration was by far the most corrupt in American history. This one will make 2017-21 look like a model of propriety. Will Big Journalism notice?

Sure, some of the examples. But like last time, our feckless press corps will ignore the context. They'll spot a few burning bushes but never, ever show and explain that the entire forest is ablaze.

@dangillmor Big journalism gets paid not to notice. It's little journalism that we have to pay attention to now.
