Drain the Swamp?

Polls show Donald Trump and Joe Biden in a close battle for NH in the upcoming election. Four years ago, Trump’s rallies often had ‘Drain the Swamp!’ chants. How’s that working out? A few recent examples:

Over $6M billed to the US Government by consultants to enhance the image and ‘branding’ of Seema Verma, Trump’s head of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). That’s YOUR money.

Bill Barr’s Justice Dept. taking over from Trump’s private lawyers to defend him in a defamation suit associated with E. Jean Carroll’s rape allegations, an incident that occurred back in 1995 or 1996. We’re now paying Trump’s legal bills.

The Trump administration has siphoned over $4 million from the New York City Fire Dept. fund that pays for health needs of 9/11 first responders

Louis DeJoy, Trump’s handpicked Postmaster General who is crippling the US Postal Service’s (USPS’s) ability to deliver mail-in ballots, continues to receive anywhere from $1.2M to $7M from a company doing business with the USPS

Because Trump spends 1 of every 3 days at one of his properties, the US Government has paid $1.2M since 2016 to Trump’s family businesses

How’s that for draining the swamp? These are just recent revelations. Throughout Trump’s ‘reign,’ the EPA has been staffed with oil & gas cronies, including Scott Pruitt, its first administrator, who was forced out due to his extravagant spending of taxpayer dollars. The Ukraine state-owned natural gas company caught up in President Donald Trump’s impeachment investigation has appointed a U.S. businessman pushed by former Energy Secretary Rick Perry to its board. Tom Price, Trump’s first Health and Human Services Secretary, resigned under pressure after racking up at least $400,000 in travel bills for chartered flights.

If you like having your taxpayer money spent by unqualified cronies for their personal gain, vote for Trump. If you want to drain THIS swamp, and get back to a semblance of honest government, vote for Bidden.
