Trump didn't drain the swamp, he created these swamp monsters
When he was running for President, Donald Trump promised to drain the swamp. As his inauguration approaches, it appears that Trump's plan was less about "draining the swamp" and more about clogging it with swamp monsters.
The list is long and dark, and includes a Dancing with the Stars reject who is now poised to be in charge of America's nuclear arsenal. The man responsible for helping to guide our economy was the one who sparked the mortgage crisis in the first place. These aren't do-gooder public servants but muddy corporate swamp monsters whose total net worth is $14 billion -- the richest cabinet in presidential history.
Below is a brief, incomplete list of Trump's swamp monsters, as well as the mysterious powers they hold in Trump's new kingdom:
Senator Jeff Sessions
Lt. General Michael Flynn
Steve Bannon
Steven Mnuchin
Rex Tillerson
