BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! LOL!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
You're sadly wrong about what I can and cannot do. This isn't much of a surprise as you're sadly wrong about most things.
Re: "Taking just one example, the new Labor Secretary ... lie, lie, lie, lie, lie. ";
Your problem is that you still haven't realized that Trump won and that he's serious about bringing jobs to the US. If his Labor Secretary doesn't do what Trump wants, Trump will do the same thing he did on the Apprentice over and over. "You're fired."
Let me explain it this way. Trump is hiring people based on his estimate of whether they can do the job. That's quite different from hiring people based on the things they've said in public before.
Over and over and over and over you tell us that Trump changes his mind and isn't doing what he said he was going to do. Well moron, don't you think your critique applies to everyone else? Of course it also applies to the people Trump hires. They also change their minds and don't do what they had previously said they were going to do. Trump is hiring based on what he expects they can do, not because of the crap that has previously dribbled out of their mouths. Humans are liars.

Leftists are fundamentally emotional instead of logical. What you guys do is "narratives". This is what the NY Times did instead of simply reporting the news, and it's why you got gob smacked by the election results. The narrative was that Hillary was the superior candidate and the polls showed that she had a 98.5% chance of winning. And your guys reported every sliver of fact that supported the narrative and ignored everything else. It was very convincing to you! Seeing your horror on election day was hilarious! For a week I had painful cheeks because of excess smiling.
For the Trump hiring, you are pushing several narratives. One is that Trump is a liar and isn't going to do what he said he was going to do. And it really doesn't matter who Trump selects, you'll find something wrong about it.
Regarding business, what Trump promised was that he was going to reduce regulation. So it is perfectly natural that he is hiring a guy that talks about reducing regulation. Because you're a complete idiot, you are apparently unaware that minimum wage laws, overtime laws and medical insurance laws are "regulations". Get over it, elections have consequences.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the business climate improves (and it already is, in fact business confidence is zooming along with consumer confidence), businesses will hire more people and wages in general will rise. This will happen no matter what the regulators do to the minimum wage. To keep valuable employees, businesses will offer appropriate overtime and medical insurance as well as increases in wages.
A basic problem of leftists is that they believe that the only way of improving the working classes is by regulations and the regulations have to be made by leftists. Sorry, you had your chance and the simple fact is that you shat all over the working classes. Their share of national income has been dropping for decades and your solution to the problem was to import even more immigrants to compete for their jobs. You did this because you hate the working classes. You say that they are stupid, racist, etc. Only a complete idiot would believe that you want to improve the lives of stupid racist peoples and the working classes are not complete idiots.
What the working classes need and want are jobs. Those jobs come from an improving economy. And an improving economy comes from a rise in consumer and business confidence. This is what is happening now.
Obama's response to the economic decline was to propose policies that scared the living daylights out of the rich and business owners. Soros funded "Occupy Wallstreet" was effective at scaring rich people. So instead of investing in new business and creating jobs they sat on their money. This caused the "velocity of money" to crash and the Federal Reserve was forced to respond by vastly increasing the money supply. But the major result was that money just kept building up in the bank accounts of the rich and businesses. Just getting Obama out of power is enough to make the rich more optimistic and that is what is necessary to get them to start spending all that money they've saved up.
Now that money is going to flood out into new investment. And it will quickly drive wages higher. The economy will zoom as the velocity of money zooms and the Fed will have to take money out in order to avoid really high inflation. By 2020 your $15 minimum wage proposal will look ridiculously low. So I wouldn't be surprised if Trump agrees to a rise in the minimum wage. Whatever reasonable amount he agrees to, the economy will likely blast right past it and leave it choking in the dust.
You're still living in the 1960s. You haven't absorbed what is happening. You're old school. You're not helping the Democrats. All you are doing is digging your grave deeper. As usual, instead of understanding your error you are doubling down.
