Guardians of the Swamp v. President Trump. President Trump has one great “shortcoming”… he is not Washington DeeCee centric. Far from it, he’s a true outsider. Unlike the majority of DeeCee Swampers even (alleged) Conservatives. Anyone who has been in the DeeCee Swamp, Dem, GOP, Federal courts, lobbyists and bureaucracy for any length of time quickly succumb to WashintonDeeCeeism. Their fortunes, their lifestyle their egos all are seduced by the power, money and prestige that DeeCeeCentric provides. It is the most important "policy" they pursue! All know if Democrats wrestle power in 2026, in Congress He'll be impeached again. Will Republicans rescue him a third time?
Both parties spend more time and energy fighting for the power to run things than representing their voters. President Trump, Elon Musk and (possibly Rand Paul?) are the polar opposite of DeeCeeCentric. So the deeper Trump goes into his agenda, when it clashes with DeeCeeCentric… Trump will run into turbulence from any who work to maintain the status quo of the last century of DeeCeeism… and the sacred cow of BigGubmit.
The voters be damned except every 2, 4, and 6 years. President Trump is in somewhat better position than his first term where much of his agenda was neutralized by the DeeCee insiders… but it’s still a BIG hill to climb. I wish him well but it’s a century of government bad habits to overcome to make MAGA happen. And he needs an heir. God Bless America!
