Drain the Swamp?

When Donald Trump talks about “draining the swamp,” he means removing entrenched career government workers and replacing them with new appointees aligned with his political perspective—something incoming presidents routinely do.

They have scorched the earth to stop him, showing no regard for the damage left in their wake. Trump has faced an extraordinary level of opposition—perhaps because of his unorthodox demeanor (yes, he could use some help there, including a better haircut).

Anything to derail him has been fair game. He’s been publicly canceled, humiliated, ridiculed, slandered, libeled, investigated, spied on, searched, impeached (twice), arrested, tried, and prosecuted—all orchestrated by a 98% partisan (Democrat) team. His private conversations have been leaked, his family vilified, his properties vandalized, his supporters demonized, and he himself ostracized—and yes, he was even shot. Twice.

Twice Elected. Twice Tried. Twice Shot.

And yet, Trump endured. Against this relentless onslaught, he not only survived but thrived, achieving what no other modern leader has faced in the media spotlight. Throughout his presidency, over 95% of media coverage about him was negative—a level of hostility no other leader in recent history has endured. Reporters didn’t simply interview him; they argued, debated, and attempted to discredit him, while treating anyone on the left with white gloves (remember, over 90% of journalists lean left, just like the partisan team above).

At 77, Trump continues to defy the odds, standing firm against merciless attacks. This is a testament to his strength—and it’s easy for the timid and weak left to envy his resilience.

Ask yourself this: ‘What qualities do you value most in a leader—steadfast strength or cautious diplomacy as we have now with Biden and Harris?

Democrats’ Next Move

Despite all this, the left still asks, “How do we get rid of him?” From first-hand experience, I know for a fact that many on the left are not just opposed to Trump himself but even more so to the values his supporters represent. These values include embracing traditional family life, maintaining stability, and speaking confidently without fear of offense. This stands in sharp contrast to the emotional hemophiliacs on the left who scrutinize every word, invent new terms, and redefine others as now being “offensive.”

Those on the right exude a happiness and self-assurance that stands in stark contrast to their critics.

Interestingly, many on the left also have a tendency to apologize on others’ behalf, a behavior that often reflects lower self-esteem. Studies show that mental health challenges, depression, and a heightened tendency toward emotional reasoning are more prevalent on the left, frequently fueling a tendency to externalize blame rather than seek internal solutions. This emotional volatility often exacerbates the very divisions they claim to want to mend.

A Path Forward

The core argument remains: real progress requires an honest acknowledgment of shared challenges and a collective focus on solutions. Instead of vilifying those who think differently, both sides could benefit from engaging in civil discourse that prioritizes personal responsibility, shared values, and practical solutions to real issues. Addressing challenges such as economic stability, mental health, and education through bipartisan collaboration would do far more to heal society than the endless cycle of blame and division.

It’s time the left embraces logic instead of emotion—it would transform their lives. Stop kicking Donald Trump like a merciless, angry mule, capable of lashing out in all directions when agitated. If I were a Democrat today, I’d be embarrassed to have an ass as my party’s logo.
