Another Example of Draining The Swamp? Trump Hires Huckabee's Daughter As Assistant.

[TrollBuster9090]

How's that 'Drain The Swamp' of Washington insiders thing goin' for ya?

There's so much nepotism in the Trump White House that I'm losing track.

So far I know of:

-Trump's Daughter and Son-In-Law as special counsellors to the President.
-Mitch McConnell's wife as the Transportation Secretary.
-And now Mike Huckabee's daughter as the Deputy Assistant to the President, and Assistant Press Secretary.

Are there any others? Did he fire the General in charge of the Washington D.C. National Guard so he can replace him with some friend of Eric's who is a second Lt. in the Guard, and he's planning to promote him? *Sigh*

1. Old English: Before draining meant filling. See? Completely normal.

2. I suspect that being new to Washington he doesn't have the connections to...

get him enough names. So, he gets them from his new best buddies.

He's been schmoozing powerful people for 40 forty years, but most of them thought he was a joke. A loser, actually, since investing with him always turned out badly. Hanging out with him is not the best publicity the wise or truly powerful like.

3. Schmoozing powerful people for 40 years, and almost all of them are SUING him now..

for being a double-crossing rat. (The irony of his bankruptcy lawyers now suing him because he wouldn't pay them. Or, his new lawyers having to meet with him in pairs, so there is always a witness present.)

The only people he's got left are organized crime types.

4. And the Russians...

But it looks like every R power broker in DC is giving him names and he has no idea how to vet them.

It's like Harding all over again, where the President is simply a useful idiot for the thieves to use.

6. I have only one question...

what responsible father would let their daughter be trump's "assistant"?
