Donald Trump has been deplatformed and defenestrated, but he's nowhere close to being gone. The same goes for the people who made up his administration.

Insider's project tracked down 327 of the most prominent Trump administration alumni here. 👇 businessinsider.com/trump-white-ho…
At least 99 alumni have establishment ties with prominent lobbying shops, law firms, think tanks, big business or corporate America.
