Just saw some videos of Trump promising to "drain the swamp"... and it just hit me... [View all]

I never noticed this before.... he doesn't actually know what "draining the swamp" is SUPPOSED to mean metaphorically.

Instead of getting rid of people who don't play by the rules he thinks that "draining the swamp" means getting rid of the rules so that they can't be broken.

So, there now appears to me to have been a massive disconnect between him and his millions of voters. They thought he was campaigning against the evils of corruption when he was actually campaigning to end the technicalities of corruption to allow more evils. And I'm not sure he was actually deliberately deceiving them.
