A government of lobbyists

In the two years of the Trump administration 281 lobbyists have been hired. That's four times more than the Obama administration had six years into office. Or, one lobbyist for every 14 political appointments made.

Trump has also abandoned an Obama-era ethics pledge clause that prevented registered lobbyists from seeking or accepting employment with any executive agency that they lobbied the two years prior.
