People trump: who influences the decisions of the President of the United States


After the inauguration of Donald trump most of the Ministers of the former Cabinet and administration officials have left their positions — both on their own, and as a result of the dismissal. At the same time, the process of approval by the Senate of new Ministers delayed by the end of March, after 70 days of the presidency of the trump, in posts approved 19 of 22 Cabinet members (excluding the Vice-President and head of the administration for which you do not need to solve senators). President trump blames the parliamentary opposition, the Democrats of the Senate. In its decisions, it relies heavily on “inner circle” of advisors and approved of Ministers, with whom he had close friendships and business relationships.

As we evaluated

The composition of the inner circle of the new US President and key ministries identified on the basis of publications The Telegraph and The Wall Street Journal, as well as using several criteria. Key among them was an old acquaintance with Donald trump and active participation in his campaign. Also taken into account what positions these people from the point of view of influence on foreign and domestic policy of the new administration and their role in the preparation of the most significant and discussed of decrees and laws.

Assessment of financial flows controlled by each of the groups, was calculated by adding the budgets of the ministries and agencies headed by these officials. Based on the budgets of the departments for 2017, prepared by the office of management and budget (OMB) the White house. However, the figures are largely conditional — not all information (for example, the budgets of the NSA, CIA, etc.) is disclosed.
