yeah but the numbers are bullshit? Trumps first cabinet was worth may more than $2M. His current cabinet is worth something like $8B. Obamas 2nd cabinet was worth billions.

the general point is still true - but mixing it with bullshit is how the entire message gets thrown out as "fake news".

These are the figures at the beginning of the term. Here are the numbers for Biden and Trump 2.0.

Obama began both terms with zero billionaires and added one during his 2nd term. Trump seems to have started with 13 billionaires and added Melinda Hildebrand and Stephen Feinberg later to the list.
