Draining the swamp -- for better or worse?
“Draining the swamp” was a popular slogan, and President Trump has made good on his promise. Crucial firings and resignations have hit almost every department. Are Americans better off?
Joel Stein went to Trump Country in Texas, where voters applaud the president for “draining the swamp” in Washington. High-level firings and resignations have hit almost every department. But Stein says crucial experts have been replaced by “people who know nothing,” and Americans unknowingly voted against their own interests. His new book is called “In Defense of Elitism.”
