Swamp Things

Trump promised to drain the swamp. His supporters took him at his word- and were prepared to overlook the fact that he too came from a swamp; it was enough for them that it wasn't the Washington swamp, but another, near-adjacent one.

Once in office he seems to have spent most of his time tweeting and playing golf. It's a measure of how little he achieved that 4 years on his followers are even angrier than they were when he assumed office. Oddly enough, they don't seem to be accusing him of betrayal. It's everybody else's fault that he didn't keep his promise.

Meanwhile the swamp remains undrained and one of its oldest and scaliest denizens is about to assume the presidency.

Well said. It’s beyond me how any of his supporters can look at the state of America and not follow the river back to its source.
