Don't forget Michael Flynn for National Security Advisor, Stephen Bannon for White House Strategist, and Jeffrey Sessions for Attorney General. Honestly, the only two choices I'm fine with so far are Linda McMahon for Head of the Small Business Administration (I still find this hilarious though) and Reince Priebus for Chief of Staff.

Who want to the President.
If you do not believe in elected President, how sure you can believe in elected Politician.
Did your Politician ever failed you, think again.
Who do not want to win in any election.
That is the elected President did win the election.
As for what a elected President once on the job, he have to do his best.
What a person did in the past was already past and gone, can anyone bring back the past to change.
Only when in the job, should any illegal dealing is done, this become the Scandal.
As long as what was done in the past is not outside the law.
Who do not want to WIN in any contest &or prizes. Do you.
This is somewhat like HOW TO WIN THE WAR as what the elected President had done, he WIN.
In some country, the leader run the country like running a business.
If the business failed, you loose, with protest, kick the current leader and the gang out of office.
Move on....as it is pointless to review.
Everyone trying to find mistakes for the loser.
Then why this Everyone could even make plenty of money and fortune teller.
Just like lottery, when a number is the first prize, everyone said they forgot to buy.
Just another Loser & Winner story...created by human...

I remember when Bush came into office and we started a senseless war and went into a recession. Before Bush, we had a surplus with our budget.
Obama may not have changed the political landscape, but he definitely changed the economic landscape.
When he became president, we were in a recession and he managed to create 15 million jobs and get us out of a record high unemployment rate.
He created an affordable healthcare which covered millions of people. Before Obamacare, the statistic was that about a hundred thousand people died every year due to lack of healthcare, but he reduced to somewhere around 40,000.
He raised the threshold salary for mandatory overtime pay. Before only people making under 20k were to receive mandatory overtime pay.
He took the charge with some major environmental policies such as the Paris Agreement.
Under his presidency, gay marriage became legal.
Obama was also releasing non-violent drug offenders who's charge was simply being in possession of marijuana.
So maybe, you may not have felt the changes personally, but millions of other people have.

Okay ! thanks for explaining
unless US foreign policies changes i won't feel no change
btw why not see trump in same light ? even though he says these things so radical, he may not able carry them out as he wants it to .
All this video does is point out the nature of the state and how politicians resort to popular opinion, and appealing to the people in order to gain votes, then demonize the right (Trump) for doing what leaders on their side of the political spectrum have been doing for YEARS. Hypocrisy. The Daily show and all these other shitty lefty media sources like to play favorites; they sacrifice their integrity and credibility to insure their "team" looks good, while making the other team look bad at all costs. Same goes for Fox, The WSJ, and all the other conservative media outlets.
I'd have more respect for media on both respective sides of the political spectrum if they were more objective when it comes to their observations in journalism.

If Trump picked a more competent cabinet, then I would agree with you. The rhetoric about building the wall, etc. is not the real problem here, it's conflict of interest.
But here's the major problem. There is a Republican Majority in the Senate, House, and soon to be Supreme Court. This means Republicans can pass virtually any law they want with little opposition from the Democrats.
And looking at the past, this is a great misfortune upon the American people. Because Republicans aim to cut social security, cut medicare, increase the retirement age, repeal environmental regulations, and so on and so forth. And they are still promising to do so.
Trump's cabinet is literally, not even exaggerating, some of the worst, if not, the worst possible picks. And the cabinet are in charge of major decisions which will affect housing, economy, foreign relations, education, etc.
And when you have the CEO of Exxon as the Secretary of State, then you can be damn sure there will be conflict of interest. His foreign policy will be based on his oil company's profits. You can also be sure that something like the North Dakota Access Pipeline would be continued, even though currently through the vigorous protesting, the pipeline was denied easement.
Exxon had a major 500 billion dollar dealing with Russia and currently, the U.S. put sanctions on Russia because of their annexing of Crimea, which halted their dealings. So with the Exxon CEO, a friend of Putin, being the Secretary of State, he can lift the sanction and continue business as usual; which essentially means that Russia will get a free pass to do what they like as long as they're in business with Exxon.
Exxon Oil company is one of the biggest contributors to the global warming crisis we face now. New info has bee released that Exxon was in possession of evidence of the catastrophic effects of climate change since the 1970s and they did not disclose this or factor this into any of their investor reports.
But because the CEO of Exxon is now going to be a Secretary of State, the SCC will almost no chance of filing charges against Exxon for their malpractice.
When you have the President of Goldman Sachs as the head of the Budget Committee and another Goldman Sachs executive as the Secretary of Treasure, you can be sure they will create policy and loopholes which will help increase their own profit. Goldman Sachs is one of primary groups to blame for the Great Recession.
And it just goes on and on like that with his cabinet. When you have a cabinet filled with unscrupulous people who's main focus is power and money, then yeah, there is a very good chance that there will be disastrous ramifications to the American people and possibly the world. If the U.S. economy collapses, it affects the global economy.
And if you had a problem with politicians being owned by big money, well now it's on a completely different level, a level which we have not seen since the Robber Barons Era.

here's a point of bias
go ahead and explain why you believe social security isn't failing.
Because you simply said "cut social security" as if it's working now. There is a difference between coming up with a new system and cutting it.

Because all data says that social security will last till 2034 solely from reserves. It's in a surplus right now.
There's no reason to cut spending. That statement doesn't even make sense.

so what happens after 2034? Your idea of a good policy is one that inevitably fails in 18 years?
It's a ponzi scheme. Real social security would be an individual can only get out what they've put in.

Because it's unrealistic and not everyone would be covered.
It's called living in a society, Slimreaper.
Now I know you think taxes are the devil, but guess what? Social Security in its current form is among the top two beloved social programs in U.S. history and it's virtually a unanimous opinion.

I bet you there was a handful of Germans who expressed an eerily similar opinion on an incoming leader.
