Last week, the left was attacking Trump because his transition was allegedly in shambles. He hadn't appointed enough people, he didn't know what he was doing, and his administration was headed for disaster before he even took office. It was a ridiculous claim, and it fell apart quickly. They replaced it with a new line of attack. Trump is a megalomaniac who's appointing a cadre of out-of-touch millionaires.
Factually, this argument isn't much better. The fact that they thought they could make it stick is yet another indicator that Democrats simply can't comprehend the fact that things have changed. The usual left-wing gimmicks aren't working this time, and they have no idea how to change course.
Trump's defense of his relatively wealthy cabinet was direct, decisive, and utterly obliterates his opponents faux-concern. It basically boils down to: "Yeah, their rich! Rich and successful. Successful people are going to oversee of the country. Isn't that nice?"
Democrats, of course, are ill-equipped to understand this response. If the federal beast is their God - and it most certainly is - then its lackeys are their saints.

We just spent 8 years being lectured by a gang of agitators, activists, government-lifers, and community organizers. The 2016 election was an absolute rejection of the same. The country (California & New York notwithstanding) opted to change course. Voters are fed up with the current crop of political parasites who leech their fortunes from the taxpayers' chapped teat.
An incoming crew is comprised of successful people who have actually accomplished things in the private sector? That's exactly what we wanted.
The longer it takes Democrats to grasp that simple fact, the longer they'll be out in the cold.
Let's hope it takes them ...forever.
