Draining the Swamp – Opening a Can of Worms
“I will Make Our Government Honest Again — believe me. But first, I’m going to have to #DrainTheSwamp in DC.”
8:33 AM – 18 Oct 2016 from Colorado Springs, CO
I seriously doubt that President Trump knew the depth of the corruption in government when he made his #DrainTheSwamp statement at a Rally in Colorado Springs 2 years ago, but then again, maybe he did? After all up until he threw his hat in the ring and began campaigning for the presidency he had been “hob knobbing” inside the “inner circle” of the wheelers and dealers of Washington politics. Trump even had his own key to the locker room.
Today we are seeing the effects of the #DrainTheSwamp mentality as the swamp creatures have flooded the consciousness of America in such a way that is impossible to ignore.
We have seen a culture of corruption where high school athletes on a goodwill tour to China cast a shadow over America when they are caught brazenly stealing jewelry and sunglasses from multiple shops in China. Trump intervenes and returns the offenders home. Rather than a sincere “Thank You”, the boys say they were forced to say “Thank You” or get expelled. The media led swamp irrupts angrily at the president.
We have also seen a president who campaigned on securing our national border with a physical wall, and ending an unconstitutional executive order (DACA). The media led swamp irrupts angrily at the president.
We have seen entertainers and professional athletes conduct themselves disrespectfully toward the nation, our national symbols and because the president expresses his displeasure over their behavior the media led swamp irrupts angrily at the president.
We have seen (it continues today) attempts by sitting legislators, aided by leaders in law enforcement and intelligence to take down a duly elected sitting president and openly broadcast in the main stream media led swamp irrupts angrily at the president.
The Trump Administration’s agenda has changed the face of America’s foreign policy, and the internal focus to an America First, rather than the globalization of a One World Order which has slowly been creeping into and accepted by our society over the past 60 + years.
Our allies and enemies alike understand that America no longer apologizes or cowers down. The U.S. is standing strong against the enemies of the free world. These world leaders see a president who tells them up front what is unacceptable and must change in order to insure fair trade with America.
On the home front more American jobs have been generated; more factories and corporations are choosing to build here; the lower tax rates are helping American families and border security is happening day by day.
What is also happening is that THE SWAMP IS DRAINING and the once secure political parties are falling apart. Lifetime politicians are being replaced by “new blood” patriotic Americans who are standing up and challenging the self-serving politicians of old.
Gone is yesterday’s Democrat Party of slave owners and of the KKK where minority politicians control minority voters in modern day enslavement with free stuff (food, housing, education, and medical) until even the ability for independent thinking has all but been eliminated.
The “rules” of the game have changed and the Democrat Party “leaders” have now become the faces of the swamp with a party of open resistance, disrespect, lawlessness and the “Chicago gangland-style” intimidation, fear and murder have become the order of the day. Political correctness is being seen for what it really is – power and control over entire segments of our society.
