Trump: 'Drain The Swamp' Should Be 'Drain The Sewer,' Starting With Media
Source: Talking Points Memo

The President began the week claiming that Washington, D.C. is much worse than anyone ever thought, taking to Twitter to make yet another jab at the news media.
Using one of his campaign tag-lines Drain the Swamp, President Donald Trump said the phrase should be changed to Drain the Sewer instead, saying it begins with the Fake News!

The tweet comes as multiple news outlets obtained and reported on the statement senior White House adviser Jared Kushner submitted to Congress outlining his interactions with Russian officials during Trumps campaign.
Kushner is scheduled to testify before congressional intelligence committees this week on whether he had a role in the Russian government meddling in the 2016 election.

(6,539 posts)In Colorado, we've watched Mark Redwine play innocent in the death of his son Dylan. Saturday, Mark Redwine was arrested for the murder. Come to find out, they found Dylan's blood in Mark's house and cadaver dogs had traced the scent to Mark's house too. The murder of this young boy has been all over the news since 2013 and now we know Mark was lying.
In the end I believe that we'll find Trump and Jared have been lying about Russia too. Until then, "enjoy" the drama.

I get the metaphorical "drain the swamp" analogy regarding alligators.
Whatever this tweet is - makes not a lick of sense.

He's a dictator at heart and wants to become one in reality and is doing everything possible to make that happen.
