Can Wall Street Billionaires Deliver on Trump's Blue-Collar Promise?
Briefly

As Mr. Trump prepares to assume the presidency, the selections of Wall Street figures Bessent and Lutnick for key economic roles raise concerns about prioritizing billionaire interests over working-class policies.
Critics argue that President-elect Trump's choice of a billionaire hedge fund manager for Treasury indicates he favors a rigged system favoring corporations and the wealthy, undermining his promise to help the working class.
The picks for his economic team, though criticized, suggest that Trump may adopt a market-friendly approach that aligns with major investors, conflicting with his blue-collar promises.
Democrats and left-leaning groups are voicing strong objections to Trump's selections, believing that the appointments will lead to tax breaks for the rich rather than assistance for struggling Americans.
