Most of Trump admin original cabinet is gone. Those who remain tend to share two traits: complicity in plot and nepotism ties.
* Trump family: Donald, Ivanka, Jared
* Relatives of the complicit: Chao (McConnell), DeVos (Prince)
* Complicit in corrupt campaign: Mnuchin, Pence

Over time, the autocrat becomes more insular, and kin ties dominate. That& #39;s happening now.
Where Trump differs from other autocrats is in his complete deference to foreigners. He can& #39;t be a fascist because he doesn& #39;t care about the state. The state is just something to sell.

What you will see is a continuation of their original plan: strip the US down and sell it for parts. The Trump/Kushner family and foreign backers are main beneficiaries.
The GOP has their own plan for a one-party state, using Trump as a vehicle to pack courts, rewrite laws.
