Trump didn't drain the swamp. Now Biden may drown him in it.

Money that should be going to needy Americans is going to Trump's friends and cronies. If anything, the swamp is bigger than ever.

Kurt Bardella Opinion columnist USA Today


Whatever happened to “drain the swamp” — one of the original promises from then-candidate Donald J. Trump? At the time, it was a powerful rhetorical refrain that harnessed a widespread sentiment that Washington had sold out the American people in favor of special interest influence. It was an effective rallying cry that created a tangible contrast between the outsider insurgency that was Donald Trump juxtaposed with the ultimate insider that was Hillary Clinton. And yet four years later, Trump has become the swampiest of swamp creatures, giving the Joe Biden campaign a very real opening to do to Trump what Trump did to Clinton.

If you’re among the 36.5 million Americans who have filed for unemployment insurance since mid-March, you might be asking yourself, “What happened to all of that money Congress passed to shore up the economy and keep small businesses afloat?” The answer: Too often, it went to donors, supporters, allies and former aides of President Donald J. Trump, aka The Swamp.

1. That reporter uses a shit ton of words for something that was complete bullshit from the start

There was NEVER any intention or plan to "drain the swamp".

It was like the furniture store in your area that has a weekly "Going out of Business" sale.
