During a passionate interview with former Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan, President Donald Trump fiercely criticized the Washington establishment, asserting that the “corrupt” and “untrustworthy” political elite will soon be held accountable.
With the 2024 election season gaining momentum, Trump is reaffirming his commitment to eliminating corruption in politics by targeting the powerful political families that have historically wielded influence in the nation’s capital.
Ryan: “One of the biggest problems within the country is the distrust in the United States government. I’m one of them. I have zero trust in any government agencies. I have zero trust in our Congress and our Senate, anything. We have a government that’s not functioning right now. How are you going to gain the trust back of the American people within the government? And are we going to see anybody held accountable?”
Trump: “The answer is yes on the second. They’re going to be held accountable. They’ve got to be held accountable. What they’re doing, they’re destroying this country. They’re crooked people. They’re dishonest people. They’re going to be held accountable.”
Looking back on his initial term in office, Trump conceded that his lack of political experience led to some errors.
He admitted to frequently depending on advisors and even members of the opposing party, and now realizes that he has consistently received flawed guidance.
Nevertheless, Trump emphasized that he has since gained a comprehensive understanding of Washington and has established connections with numerous individuals.
Trump: “When I came in, originally, I didn’t know anybody in Washington. I was only there 17 times. You may have heard me say this. I never stayed over. I built a hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue, which was a great hotel and very successful, and then sold it. And then what happened is I didn’t really know anybody in Washington. I was a New York person. I wasn’t like a Washington, DC person.
And all of a sudden, I’m President, and I’m driving down Pennsylvania Avenue with more police and motorcycles and military than I’ve ever seen before in my life. I said to my wife, “Do you believe this? I’m President.”
But I didn’t know anybody in Washington. And I had to rely on people to give me names. And many were really good… I had great trade people. I had some great people. But I also picked people that, in retrospect, I wouldn’t have picked.
But now I know the smart ones, the dumb ones, the weak ones, the solid ones, the ones like you. I know the people. I know everybody, like everybody. And we’re going to have a great government. I didn’t know. I had to rely on people to ask. I don’t want to use names because I don’t want to embarrass them.
They’re not bad people. But I’d ask people that were RINOs, “Who do you recommend for such and such a position?” All important positions. And they’d recommend some people that were RNOs or something, or weak or not good. And I don’t have to ask too much right now. I know the people, and I’ve known them through fighting and wars. I’ve known them through all this stuff. I had great support.”
Trump also took the opportunity to review his achievements during his time in office, highlighting his successes in challenging the political status quo, including taking on the Bush family, the Clintons, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden.
He also emphasized his efforts to restore stability and respect for the United States on the international platform.
Now, Trump is confronted with a new opponent: Kamala Harris, whom many characterize as a Marxist.
Trump: “I beat Nancy Pelosi. I beat all these people, every one of them. And somebody said, if you look at it, he beat the Clinton family, right? And that was really Obama, too, because he was behind her 100% like he was running. And I beat the Bush family. I beat everybody. Now I beat Biden. I got him out. I beat him twice, actually. I beat him the first time, but now I beat him a second time because it was the debate that got him out. And now I have to beat somebody that nobody ever heard of who’s a Marxist. And I think I’ll be able to do that. But I know the people now. I’ve been in government now for eight years.
But I know the system. I know the people. I know some great people, and I know some people that I wouldn’t put in. But you learn that. And so now I’m a very experienced guy, and we’re going to bring our country back, and we’re respected. We’re going to be respected again with other countries.”

Here’s hoping.
Dear Stable genius: You should have made them accountable from 2017-2020. But you were an amateur, and your advisors were stupid incompetent traitors. Now you may not get that chance again. They will collapse civilization to prevent you from winning. Thanks for not seeing what many of us saw back then—that this was IT. You had ONE chance. If you DO win, it is because they let you, and they will create chaos to pin it on you. So you must do what may tagline says. you won’t, though. You STILL don’t get it.
We’ve never had a braver or better President in modern times. Balls and a spine of steel.
Godspeed Mr. President. The country is behind you 100% except for those fake Americans (rinos and rats).
Who shit in your Wheaties?
“Drain the Swamp: Part Deux”
You, I, Society, Government and even Trump did. Trump made many of these same promises in 2016, Remember “Drain the Swamp” and “Crooked Hillary”? These people and the system do need to be held accountable, but you aren’t going to hold a crooked system accountable by using the system.
Trump seems to be just dangling red meat again for our side. I admire Trump for having survived the crap that has been dealt to him, but he needs to lose that monstrous ego and go with the attitude that he going to burn down Washington D.C. not just put band-aids on the problems.
Jeff Sessions is at or very near the top of that "wouldn't have picked" list.
“Jeff Sessions is at or very near the top of that ‘wouldn’t have picked”’list.”
Probably at the top; you’re right. Then there’s Barr, Pompeo, Barr, Wray, Haley, Tillerson...
Bout time! It’s been over 200 years!!
Ha... Ha... ain’t that the truth.
He was naive and was sandbagged by the Derp State imbeds in his coterie.
He won’t let that happen again.
I highly suspect that is why RFKjr and Tulsi Gabbard are onboard the Trump Train.
There will be others...............
This is exactly why Trump has been hated so much. When he first said he would “drain the swamp” they put a target on his back. Now he is even more dangerous because he now knows the whole truth. Sadly, there is no way Trump will be allowed to resume office, no matter how many votes he gets.
Many here on FR refuse to believe it.
Examples must be made of a corrupt establishment other wise it keeps growing the democrat party had led the way they have corrupted every department in D.C. 1984 is upon us time to eliminate it.
He’s a Troll.
“ He was naive and was sandbagged by the Derp State imbeds in his coterie.”
Yes, but perhaps it is a little deeper annd simpler…and was something many of us here were equally guilty of.
When Trump won in 2016, he basically thought the government, and those that peopled it, were merely stupid. He didn’t understand or think at that time that the true evil ran unimaginably deep. He thought by making smart decisions that government could be corrected. He knows now, and gets more evidence each day, that the government, and those in it, are undiluted Satanic evil - the destruction and totalitarian power are all they crave.
And you’re right, he isn’t going to let that happen again. The evil could never have been removed had he simply had his two terms as president and went off into history. Only by experiencing the fullness of what we’ve experienced over the past eight years, could the evil ever be exposed and attacked directly.
Thanks. He should be zotted.
Then the USA is done. The experiment is over with and it was a failure in the long run. Evil wins and good dies at the hands of the evil marxist globalist scum.
Wad your panties this morning?
