Cleaning the swamp?
The default requirement for appointment to a Trump Administration government position seems to be a willingness to use that position for personal gain. The growing list of Cabinet heads and Trump supporters who are engaged in activities such as misuse of public funds, insider trading, abuse of the emoluments clause which forbids receiving gifts from foreign governments, bank and tax fraud lead the list.
This behavior follows the example of Trump and his family so should come as no surprise to anyone. His campaign promise to "clear the swamp" is just one more lie from a man incapable of telling the truth. So sad.
