Maybe I’m just a delusional moonbat, but this seems kinda swampy to me. Regulatory capture. Cozy relationships between government and business. Revolving doors. You know, all that crap.
It’s not unprecedented, of course.
But how does this fit with the drain the swamp leitmotif formerly so prized by he current administration?
So the cozy and insular relationship between industries and the regulators of those industries, facilitated by industry lobbyists who then head these agencies, is not an important part of the swamp? Okay.
Would I be right in assuming you are referring to the Democrats and any Republican that dares to be critical of Trump.
Going back to the OP how do you equate putting so many lobbyists in positions of power in the government with the fact that Trump is draining the swamp?
Why should being a former lobbyist disqualify someone from filling a cabinet role? Why are all lobbyists deserving of being labelled corrupt and self-serving?
You’re a little off-message there, because your hero, on the campaign trail, claimed that industry lobbyists running government was The Swamp, and he was going to clean it up. What do you think: is Trump setting some sort of clever trap by appointing industry lobbyists to his presidential cabinet?
You get a message through the pops, whistles, and static? Good ear. All I hear is stuff like, “Don’t throw canned cabbage at the cabinets!” and “This parking meter told me to kill all dinosaur dogs!”
Did you bother to read the article I linked? The revolving door between lobbying and government is what is generally understood to be “Der Swamp”, and a frequent complaint of Trump and his supporters and critics of government in general. As the article outlines, the Trump administration is very amenable and helpful to The Swamp. Much more so than the Kenyan Usurper.
