Trump Tells Fox News He ‘Drained the Swamp’ in DC – By Firing the People that He Hired"},"content":{"rendered":"

As the 2024 Republican presidential primary unfolds, Donald Trump is continuing to execute his bunker strategy by campaigning only in friendly environs. It’s a game plan that affirms the cowardice that has exemplified his approach to politics and life. He refuses to engage anyone in a situation that he can’t control. Which may be for the best since, due to his felony indictments, he doesn’t believe that he has any right to run at all<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Consequently, Trump isolates himself in a world that consists of only his strictly stage-managed cult rallies, and MAGA media such as Fox News. Although even with regard to the brazenly biased Trump-fluffing at Fox News, his fear of any confrontation, no matter how mild, results in his effecting a frantic retreat. That’s why he is already making excuses to sit out the first GOP primary debate that is being hosted by Fox.<\/p>\n

Trump has disgorged vicious assaults on Fox News<\/a><\/strong>, and insults of the network when it has been less than totally adoring. However, he remains faithful to the network’s most worshipful apostles of Trumpism. Among those true believers is Maria Bartiromo. And due to her unflinching infatuation with Trump, he consented to be interviewed by her.<\/p>\n

As expected, the interview was not particularly newsworthy. It was just Trump repeating the same old lies and self-exaltations that he does during every other public appearance. However, he did let slip a confession related to his failure to fulfill the promises he made as occupant of the White House.<\/p>\n

When Bartiromo asked Trump what he would have done differently as president, he responded by attacking his own appointees to cabinet posts. He singled out Attorneys General Bill Barr and Jeff Sessions, and “other people I didn’t like,”<\/em> because they wouldn’t help him commit crimes, evade accountability, or overthrow the government. Which led Bartiromo to ask a fairly cogent follow up…<\/p>\n

Bartiromo:<\/strong> “You didn’t drain the swamp like you said you would. You didn’t drain the swamp.”
\nTrump:<\/strong> I did. I fired [FBI Director James] Comey. I fired a lot of people. A lot of the people I have, I fired.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
