Purging every liberal or moderate bureaucrat from the Federal Government. Science is inherently liberal.

If it is a campaign funded event...

Attendance can be limited to Only supporters ...

Tacky MAGA crap can be sold to generate revenue

Email info can be collected by having "free ticket" give a ways for admission to campaign rallies....

And he legitimately can continue to accept campaign donations because he has already filed the 2020 paperwork......

... that Trump supporters are low-info voters. I doubt that they even KNOW who Trump's cabinet appointees are, or what their backgrounds are.

These are the same people wearing Trump hats and T-shirts bearing a "Made in China" label - and yet they're convinced that Trump is interested in bringing jobs back to America.

These are also the same people who believe that Obama was president on 9/11 and during Katrina.

Even the most clueless among us can see that he's actually filling the swamp. Anyone who actually used that phrase most likely left Trump weeks ago.

Those signs were probably made and passed out by paid staffers.

Once you ignore the stagecraft, you're left with extremely selfish and shortsighted wannabe business owners, angry racists, and xenophobes. They couldn't care less about draining the swamp.
