alt Hacker NewsTrump was never ever going to drain the swamp.
And I wouldn't say he served existing entrenched interests very well either. To the extent he touched the swamp it was to put in worse people only he liked.

Doesn't matter for the point of the argument, he was elected on that promise, and others, that he eventually broke.
Oh he is, but the “swamp” he was talking about the entire time is impartial civil service.
What they’re doing to people at the front lines of our government is very sinister and intentional. They’re using a whole host of (legally dubious or plainly illegal) methods to remove lifelong experienced workers with expertise in their field and replacing them with political appointees.
It is the purest form of anti-intellectualism as policy. They don’t want civil service to have the correct answer - they want it to have the answer that matches the ideology they want.
