For years, Russian billionaires in the Western press were deemed "oligarchs" and American billionaires were called "billionaires". Lately, though, the media has noticed Mr. Trumpf and his Second Reich, and started to refer to the American hyper-rich as "oligarchs" and the USA as an "oligarchy". So, I wondered how many of Trumpf's cabinet, envoys, bestest chums and apologists showed up in the Forbes list.

These here ones do:
