Never has te face of The Swamp been so revealed as when they all band together to attack the one person who turns out to be their common enemy. And you guys are falling for it hook, line, and sinker.

So, since Trump was in power for four years, if he is the enemy of the swamp, why is the swamp still there as powerful as ever? 

Could it be that Trump is just full of bull [BLEEP]?

Trump had some policy success.  He got the tax cuts he wanted.  He banned immigration from certain dangerous countries and that ban continues today.  When you have a definite goal in Washington you can achieve it.  If he had defined "swamp" in some sort of definite way, he could have started firing those individuals and changing the behavior of the people left over.  But it was clear to anyone with eyes that by "swamp" he meant "people who criticize me or oppose my whims." And that's not definite enough to build a policy around unless you're a monarch who's going to be on the throne for a decade or two.
