The Swamp fears Donald Trump, With Good Reason
Flopping Aces ^ | 06-22-24 | Vince

As we all know, Democrats and the Swamp hate Donald Trump.  They probably hate him more than any president ever.  Those elites, including celebrities, journalists, and politicians, used to love Trump, with thousands of them smiling and taking pictures of him over the years. But not anymore.

All of that changed in 2015 when he decided to run for president.  It wasn't that he was running for president that made him enemy number one, but rather because he was running for president as a Republican.

But of course, being a Republican wasn’t always the polarizing factor that it became in 2015 and beyond.  Sure, the media disliked Bush, McCain, and Romney, but they were OK because they were all within the acceptable limits of what could be tolerated and controlled.  Trump was and is something altogether different.

To understand why he was and is different, look at the people at the heart of the Swamp, the government.

Nancy Pelosi, is 84 years old with 47 years in politics & government, a Political Science major with no experience in the private sector.

Chuck Schumer, 74 years old, 49 years in government, a lawyer with no private sector experience.

Hakeem Jeffries, 54 years old, 17 years in govt. A lawyer with no private sector experience.

Joe Biden, 82 years old, 50 years in government, a lawyer with zero private sector experience.

Bernie Sanders, 83 years old, 53 of which were in politics and government, a Political Science major who held a smattering of odd jobs prior to joining government.

Adam Schiff, a 64 year old lawyer who’s spent 38 years in government with zero private sector experience.

Pete Buttigieg, 42 years old, 12 years in government, a Political Science major who spent 3 years working for consulting giant McKinsey & Co. mostly working with NGOs and corporations.  He was in the Navy and did a stint in Afghanistan.

AOC is a 35 year old Econ and International Relations major who’s spent 8 years in government and whose private sector experience is that of a bartender.

Gavin Newsom, a 57 year old Political Science major who’s spent 27 years in government and who in 1992 was brought in by his friend, Gordon Getty, as the co-founder of PlumpJack Winery in Napa, California.

Elizabeth Warren, a 75 year old lawyer who’s spent 30 years in government and has zero private sector experience.

And it’s not just Democrats…

Mitch McConnell is an 82 year old lawyer who’s spent 50 years in government and never held a private sector job.

Kevin McCarthy is a 59 year old MBA who worked in government for 37 years and sold sandwiches out of his uncle’s yogurt shop while in college.

Paul Ryan is a 54 year old Political Science and Economics graduate who spent 28 years in government before retiring to become a lobbyist in 2019.  He was a waiter and fitness trainer in college.

So there you have it, of the dozen or so most powerful people in American government & politics, only one has any real experience in running a business (Newsom) and that business was funded by one of the richest men in the world at the time.  But somehow they’re the ones making the laws that increasingly impact the businesses that employ every American, and indeed the lives and communities of every single American.

Donald Trump didn't scratch and climb up through party ranks.

He arrived in office without political debts nor thousands of camp-followers demanding jobs.

He could do his duty to his country and keep his oath.

Donald Trump - The Echo of Our Framers Uncorrupted President.

Many reasons they hate and fear him.

I don’t think he realized, when he got there, how much the politicians and bureaucracy hates the middle class and the ones that are just normal folks that loves the country, want to be left alone, like to hunt and fish, and don’t worship actors/actresses/politicians.

I don’t think he knew just how corrupt congress is, how lazy Congress and how they’ve abdicated all of their responsibilities to anonymous bearucrats and agencies with no authority to do much of anything.

Many bitch and moan about budgets and deficits during Pres Trump’s admin. Interesting how many don’t know that corrupt Congress has learned that they don’t to draft and budget, make it public and then negotiate, as Pres Trump wanted to do. Congress learned, with Bush, that they can wait til the last minute, scare everyone and have it signed anyway.

All that being said, I hope and pray he picks anyone but a politician to be his VP.

I don’t think he knew either. This time around he’ll be ready because now he knows. Frankly I didn’t realize until Trump just how bad our swamp had gotten. His presidency revealed them and made me rethink some things.

The Swamp did not fear Trump in 2016 and 2020. Why should they fear him now? In fact, The Swamp is in a better position today than they were then.

I dont think they fear him. They hate him.

There is a coalition of those who hate and those that fear him. The swamp does both. Chuck Shumer gave us a clue when he stated on Rachel Maddow;s show that the intelligence community (IC) can get you 9 ways to Sunday. These swampees get rich off "the system" while simultaneously being compromised (bribed, blackmailed, threatened). Big league donors love "the system". NGO's love the "system". Those who hate us, love "the system". Imagine a loser like Joe Biden in the private sector. He would be a third rate traffic-ticket lawyer in Wilminton, Deleware. I'd bet a dozen doughnuts that Robert Deniro is being blackmailed because the IC has film of him with an underage person.

I guess that deleted comment was from a Dem troll. The imbecile troll is the one who should explain how they are multimillionaires (if they are millionaires) when they have been in government their whole lives, other than Newsom. Biden is exhibit one. In Pelosi’s case her hubbie has a lot of money.
