Drain the Swamp

What exactly did "Drain the Swamp" mean?, and how much progress has been made to do that?

 

In and around Washington, D.C. there is a corporate, government, lobbyist kind of partnership that truly has its own economy of great wealth. 7 of the 9 or 10 most wealthy counties in America are in the Washington region. They are in their own world and obviously we can see that they haven't cared much about the rest of the economies in America. That is who Trump calls the swamp.

 

I would answer in the affirmative on the question of progress being made. Trump has gutted regulations meant to protect the swamp. See EPA especially. Swamp was exempt from a lot while others weren't. They kill their competition that way. He has killed trade deals meant to make the swamp more money at the expense of the rest of America's economies. See TPP. He is forcing a renegotiation of NAFTA, big swamp money maker. His recent action to bog down subsidy payments to swamp insurance companies was a big win. He also authorized competition across state lines for health insurance. A huge blow to the swamp and a big gain to smaller companies not in the loop of corruption. The huge tax cuts he got one step closer to, just last night, are for everybody, not just the swamp. Big blow to the swamp because it is another equalizer. They hate competition.

 

Watching the 24/7 dinosaur media cycle you wouldn't think he was making progress but once you understand why they are acting like insane communists and attacking him over and over you know they are only doing it because he is making so much progress. They are firing every gun they have to stop it. Doing it, they admit he is winning.

Agree with you in many ways '75, having recently moved to Greene County VA to get out of the second richest county in the U.S (Fairfax)...populated by selfish jerks in large part.

 

Disagree with stacking the Cabinet with Wall Street swamp critters who are already getting caught flying around like Saudi princes on our dime.
