Many Americans would not be surprised if on Jan. 20 Vladimir
Putin administers the oath of office to Donald Trump, the Ku Klux Klan
youth choir regales the inaugural crowd with a stirring rendition of
“Dixie,” the Chamber of Commerce orchestra performs “Hail to the
Chief” and the inaugural party is catered by Carl’s Jr. (whose CEO,
billionaire Andrew Puzder, a foe of the minimum wage, is Trump’s nominee
for secretary of labor). ExxonMobil (whose CEO, Rex Tillerson, is
secretary of state-designate) and Goldman Sachs (whose president,
Gary Cohn, will be director of Trump’s National Economic Council) could
pay for the whole thing.
