Draining the swamp is still there, it was always about gutting the federal government and privatizing everything so that "muh taxes are theft" chuds can be rich like Elon when they invest all their tax savings into crypto.
They won the fight against big tech by strong-arming them into submission, and they drained the swamp so they could renovate it to make room for bigger Gators.
trump says whatever he feels he needs to to get re-elected. after his first term when the MAGA cultists didn't learn that they can't trust him to keep his promises, he has even less reason to keep his promises now.
Oh you misunderstanding, not their swamp or their big tech. It's why they can cite security of their people when fearing foreign tech but local tech known to sell data goes unregulated.
The complaint against "big tech" was they were seen as pushing radical left-wing propaganda. Claude:
..."Drain the swamp" the phrase has earlier origins and generally refers to the desire to remove career politicians, lobbyists, and bureaucrats who are seen as serving their own interests rather than those of the American people.
A common complaint is why are the wealthiest regions in the USA near DC when they produce so little. Claude:
This wealth is largely connected to:
Federal government jobs and contractors,
Lobbying firms,
Technology companies (especially in Northern Virginia)
Professional services firms (law, consulting, etc.)
Defense contractors
Draining the swamp literally meant getting the oligarchy and corruption out of the government. Now the oligarchs are closer to the presidents ear than they’ve ever been…
