Even if so, cupidity is not necessarily a guarantor of benevolent executive skills.
A brilliant photographer may be an inadequate brain surgeon.
A gifted financial investor may be a talentless arctic explorer.

If Trump is more comfortable surrounded by fellow* $billionaires, that's fine. But it's possible to have superficial appearance of diversity in a cabinet, without much ideological complexity. The pitfall to that is obvious; they're easily blind-sided.
* Do we know for a certitude Trump is a $Billionaire? He said "I'm really rich." I don't recall him setting an order of magnitude on it.
to date he has done neither. his appointment for labor sec. is opposed to the minimum wage. and his deal to save jobs at carrier saved 750 (not 1100) jobs at a cost to the state of 7 million dollars.
Yes, some could have but how many actually did? It smacks of crony capitalism, all these billionaires and Wall St. insiders.
OT, have you ever read Sherlock Holmes? There is a point to this question.
When Obama ran in 2008 and even now, people snarked that he was just a community organizer with no government experience. Now the cons don't consider no experience a liability.

That's what's going to happen when we try to raise entry level jobs to $15/hr. The econony is changing and we have to change with it

According to an article I read on NR, the pending Labor Secretary is on record as supporting the $15 minimum wage.

The Carl's Jr guy? I think he said at $15 automation was going to take over (at least in fast food)

Necessity is subjective.
In the vast scheme of things, the phrase "have to" is not used that way.
AND !!
Sometimes you have to economize.
I spent years having roommates,
not apartment mates, roommates.
There was a payoff. I now live on an estate that's hundreds of acres inside the Adirondack Park, with the luxury of living alone. It's paradise.

actually, the main division right now is people who see through the two main parties lying and manipulations of their supporting sheeple, and those who inexplicably still do not.
already happening..McDonalds announced kiosk ordering in Europe -the USA is sure to follow.
it's bound to happen. Heck even most call center jobs ( me) are outsourced - mine isn't because I sell -I'm not customer service.
How do you stop this>>? Is what Trump is looking at.
only you could come up with that misshapen idea.
Of course not. One cannot "stop" automation - the Labor Sec from carl's is an advocate of automation for food service jobs.
What you can do is raise the general GDP level ( raising wages) which spins off more labor jobs. And then prevent mindless outsourcing of those
Manufacturing jobs are superior to service jobs- get more of them to offset McDonalds jobs
