Donald Trump’s Swamp Gets Murkier
“Now that he is president-elect, Donald Trump’s anti-corruption promise to “drain the swamp” of Washington lobbyists and powerful insiders seems to be rapidly dissolving in the swamp itself. An untold number of lobbyists and special interest players have been helping the Trump team’s transition to the White House, their path made easier, according to news reports, by vague and porous ethical standards.”
So what will the press do when Trump starts claiming there is no conflict of interest, there are no lobbyists, his kids are not in those meetings. Will they be able to call him on obvious lies when they have not been able to thus far?
