The Trump White House is going to be very, very Koch-y.
.
During the 2016 presidential campaign, billionaire industrialists and
Republican mega-donors Charles and David Koch made headlines by refusing
to endorse a candidate. But ads in U.S. Senate races paid for by
Koch-linked independent political groups hurt the image of Donald Trumps
foe, Hillary Clinton, whom they criticized while associating Democratic
Senate candidates with her. And the massive ground game of the Kochs
well-known political group, Americans for Prosperity, helped turn out
thousands of Trump voters in battleground states.
.
From the time Trump picked his vice presidential running mate, Koch
favorite Mike Pence, the brothers influence on Trump World has grown ever
stronger.
.
From transition team staffers to his Cabinet, Trump has brought numerous
Koch lieutenants and allies into his inner circle. His taunting of Marco
Rubio for being a puppet of the Koch brothers is long gone. Its very
likely that Trump is eager to work with Charles and David Koch, who
represent exactly what Trump values mostwealth and powerwhich is also
reflected in his potential Cabinet of billionaire executives. And though
the Kochs may object to Trumps Islamophobia or other select viewpoints,
they stand to add to their combined $88 billion through Trumps planned
environmental deregulation, privatization, corporate tax cuts and other
policies favoring the wealthy to be carried out by his Environmental
Protection Agency pick, who recently sued that agency; his secretary of
state choice, the CEO of ExxonMobil; his labor pick, a fast-food CEO who
doesnt believe in the minimum wage; and others.
.
David Koch attended Trumps election night victory party. Then on Dec. 21,
Trump had an informal chat with Koch at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach,
Florida (where Koch is a member) about preparations for his
administration.
.
The Kochs allies have been helping shape the Trump administration for some
time. The liberal Center for American Progresss political arm found that
one-third of Trumps transition team, which recommends Cabinet nominees,
ambassadors and advisers to the president-elect, has ties to the Koch
brothers. These transition team members include Trump mega-donors who are
also part of the Koch political network, such as Rebekah Mercer, and
employees of Koch-funded think tanks like the Heritage Foundation and the
Institute for Energy Research.
.
Heres a look at some of the top Koch allies wholl be running the
government very soon and what kinds of Koch-backed policies we can expect
them to champion.
.
The Koch brothers darling
.
The Kochs must have popped champagne when Trump announced that Mike Pence,
the conservative governor of Indiana, would be his running mate. Pence is
adored by the Kochs and their vast political donor network; Ken Vogel and
Maggie Haberman described him in Politico as among the best messengers
for this new Koch brand in a field of prospective [presidential]
candidates who fit some portions of the brothers political bent but not
others. Pence has addressed a gathering of Americans for Prosperity, the
Kochs most well-known political group that spends millions on elections
each cycle opposing liberal policies and helping elect conservative
Republicans. This year he planned to speak at one of the Kochs donor
seminars, where the brothers meet with uber-wealthy allies and pool their
hundreds of millions of dollars for joint political spending, but canceled
two weeks beforehand.
.
David Koch gave Pences two gubernatorial campaigns $300,000. Americans for
Prosperity ran ads supporting Pence, and the Republican Governors
Association, to which Koch and Koch Industries have donated a combined
$10.8 million since 2003, spent $4.2 million in 2012 and 2016 backing
Pence.
