Trump must drain the swamp
Now comes the hard part for President Trump: governing.
The swamp is filled with avaricious alligators, and it won’t be easily drained. The top congressional posts will still be controlled by the loyal lieutenants of the Washington cartel who got us into our present quagmire, including Speaker Paul Ryan and, of course, U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Hollidaysburg.
The most important item on Trump’s agenda is term limits, because it is the linchpin of a lasting shift from globalism and corruption back to the economic patriotism and civic virtue upon which our nation was built. Yet Ryan, Shuster and other “old bulls” will do everything they can to derail term limits. Their first priority, unbelievably, is another $1 trillion, Obama-style “stimulus” that will increase our already enormous national debt.
We mustn’t make the mistake of thinking our job is done with the election of Trump. He is a dynamic leader with a bold agenda that can make America great again, but the career politicians in Congress still have their interests, not the country’s, foremost at heart.
So we must watch them like a hawk.
