what does trump mean when he talks about "the swamp"
When Donald Trump talks about “the swamp,” he’s using a metaphor to criticize entrenched power structures in Washington, D.C.—particularly career bureaucrats, lobbyists, and political insiders whom he portrays as corrupt, self-serving, or resistant to change2.
Here’s how the term functions in his rhetoric:
What “the swamp” represents
- Permanent bureaucracy: Agencies and officials who remain in power regardless of elections, often seen as obstructing outsider agendas.
- Lobbyists and special interests: Groups that influence legislation and policy for private gain.
- Political elites: Longtime lawmakers and establishment figures perceived as disconnected from everyday Americans.
“Drain the swamp” as a campaign promise
- Trump adopted the phrase during his 2016 campaign to signal his intent to “root out corruption” and reform government ethics3.
- It became a rallying cry for supporters who felt alienated by traditional politics and wanted dramatic institutional change.
So...I hope you and all the other people in this thread understand what the swamp is all about. You have my permission to end your "fascist" and "anti-democracy" nonsense.
