Donald Trump Eliminates Need for Lobbyists in Executive Branch

By appointing people from big banks, big oil, big business and agenda driven individuals who want to end public education, increase privatization and reduce workers' rights, Donald Trump has eliminated the need for any of those groups to hire lobbyists. The people who used to hire lobbyists are now in charge. The Trump administration no longer will listen to advocates for special interests because it is run by those special interests.

Oh, by the way, certainly Russia needs no lobbyist.

Great job at "draining the swamp".
