THE "SWAMP"

Just a few years ago---when Lincoln was President Washington was truly a Swamp!  In the summers it was almost unbearable to live there.  Think about all the horses that transported folks in and out of town.  Or perhaps just stood there waiting for the owner to return.  Besides horses did you know that cows were grazed on the grass around the Capitol?  Hundreds of animals leaving their waste products where they landed.  Smell bad?  You can bet the farm on that.  Washington has come to be called,  "Foggy Bottom"from time to time, or perhaps just the "Swamp".
Now the town is full of politicians, lobbyists, hangers-on, wheeler dealers, and on and on.  President Trump is trying to fulfill the promise he made to "Drain the swamp".  Will he do it?  There is so much hate and opposition to Trump it will be a wonder if he can.  We have so many federal employees, sucking on the taxpayer's "teat", that belong to a powerful union, that makes the task of firing him/her monumental.
Many Republicans(in name only) support him unwillingly while others go so far as to oppose his efforts.  After all, he is not one of them, not politician enough and, of all things, he speaks his mind.  EGADS!...........Medicineman!
