".... he made the massive mistake of publicly saying he was going to “drain the swamp” instead on infiltrating quietly first and making these domestic enemies think he was on their side."

If he had been silent about draining the swamp, we wouldn't understand what he was up to. He did need our support to do this. It's one of his campaign promises.

Problem is... no one was aware how deep and thick the swamp is.

At least, President Trump exposed that. With that knowledge we are able to fight back...if we choose to.

did I ever mix up the tenses!!

I think Trump and many others were aware... and planned to take the swamp down. However, legally, if they needed more evidence, they would have to obtain it. That means sometimes putting people in power where they could perform swampiness, would be expected to, and that would be recorded and documented, for prosecution.
