Milo Yiannopoulos has decided on a way to keep himself from becoming an acceptable member of the Trump team.
"Along with longtime Breitbart cohort Steve Bannon, the foppish Yiannopoulos – the co-author of the Alt-Right's unofficial manifesto – has until now been extremely successful in selling the various intellectual justifications for Trumpism."

The more acceptable, but objectionable companions of Trump, have plans for the United States.

The Business Roundtable was founded specifically to win political favors from the largest and most ruthless companies in America, often at the expense of smaller business, and its accomplishments read like a rap sheet: it defeated an anti-trust bill in 1975, helped kill a labor rights bill and a Consumer Protection Agency in 1977, lobbied successfully for lower corporate taxes in 1985, blocked meaningful shareholder reform in 1986 (which is why these CEOs make so much more than they’re worth), and lobbied for NAFTA.

"...the Business Roundtable’s list of “Top Federal Regulations of Concern” that they would like to see weakened or done away with entirely:
Rules mandating new coal power plants have carbon capture technology;
EPA clean water rules;
Reporting requirements for large employers under the Affordable Care Act;
The updated overtime rule that would make millions more working Americans eligible for overtime pay;
Net neutrality;
Basic corporate governance rules that allow shareholders “with insignificant stakes in public companies [to] make shareholder proposals that pursue social or political agendas unrelated to the interests of the shareholders as a whole”—which is to say, the ability of non-huge investors to participate in the governance of companies;
Rules requiring major companies to disclose the ratio between the pay of their CEO and median worker pay (“The pay ratio rule, which requires chief executives to certify what is an arbitrary and often meaningless number, provides no material information to shareholders or investors,” asserts the corporate lobbying group, shockingly);
Requirements that companies disclose their use of conflict minerals
