This administration uses a "PLAY" on words, he accuses people of things he has committed and turns words around. In this case that is what he has done. He said he would "drain the swamp" people thought he meant was to rid of the slime, what he meant was, he would drain it and bring them with him to create a slime trail all over our government.

and I'm about as surprised as you.

But let's remember that for most right wing voters draining the swamp has come to mean getting rid of Democrats. They've been projecting all their party's faults and crimes, and certainly its intense corruption, onto us for a long time now and believe their own lies.

Welcome to DU, Lucius.

Exactly. He wanted to "drain the swamp" so he could get to all the really foul slimy stuff at the bottom and pick his advisors and cabinet members from there.
