"Draining the Swamp" sounded like a way to make the candidate Donald Trump sound less like a politician and more like a man concerned with the fate of the country.
We are now finding out that the candidate Trump did a lot to keep stories out of the news that might have influenced our opinions of him.
Trump paid hush money to women that he slept with because he didn't want them to influence the election. That is clear by the deal the National Enquirer made with the special counsel. The National Enquirer gets immunity for their help. Let me get this straight, we are supposed to take the word of a gossip magazine and believe them to be honest.
Don't get me wrong there is a pattern being established when it comes to how Donald Trump and his friends at the National Enquirer operated when it came to stories dealing with Trump.
But we seem to forget that there was the famous tape of Trump making some misogynistic claims and yet that didn't influence the election.
It seems it is a stretch of the imagination that Trump sleeping with two women would harm his character any more than his history of marriage and divorce, but that didn't stop the magazine from helping Trump make the stories go away. And now the magazine is getting a free pass when it comes to its crimes because they are singing like a canary.
The nation seems to have gotten past the idea that the president can't be divorced. Bill Clinton got elected after numerous claims that he had extramarital affairs. But for some reason, Donald Trump felt the country couldn't accept the fact that he can't remain faithful to one wife.
Our moral compass doesn't seem to register these missteps of leaders as indicators of moral ineptitude and we seem more worried about what they can do for us.
Donald Trump just paraphrased what Obama during his first campaign. Instead "Change" it was "Drain the Swamp" uttered to a country looking for their "Change" when it comes to the way the country is run.
There is a lot of money being spent to discover things we already know and that is that Donald Trump only looks out for himself. He doesn't seem to have a firm grasp of the law or how to surround himself with brilliant people that will protect him.
