Dear o sung wu,

The people leaving Trump's staff are all people he appointed. The president's staff is selected by the president. The great turnover of staff is not a 'draining of the swamp', but a failure of Trump to get along with people he appointed. In government, unlike his private affairs, he has appointed some highly qualified people.

Conscientious, highly qualified people will be likely to disagree with him on some issues. He apparently would be more comfortable associating with people who always agree with him. That makes them useless in case he makes a bad decision.

He appears to get along well with dictators or authoritarian figures like Kim il Sung, Duterte or Putin. He alienates allies like Trudeau, Macron or Merkel. One area in which I think Obama was good was his environmental regulations. Trunp has appointed Pruitt who is a swamp creature as administrator of the EPA:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Pruitt

Pruitt rejects the scientific consensus that human-caused carbon dioxide emissions are a primary contributor to climate change.

By May 2018, Pruitt was under at least 12 separate investigations by the Government Accountability Office, the E.P.A. inspector general, the White House Office of Management and Budget, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, and two House committees over his spending habits, conflicts of interests, extreme secrecy, and management practices. Pruitt made frequent use of first class travel as well as frequent charter and military flights. As EPA administrator, Pruitt leased a condo in Washington D.C. at a deeply discounted rate from a lobbyist whose clients were regulated by the EPA. Pruitt further caused ethics concerns by circumventing the White House and using a narrow provision of the Safe Drinking Water Act to autonomously give raises to his two closest aides of approximately $28,000 and $57,000 each, which were substantially higher than salaries paid to those in similar positions in the Obama administration, and which allowed both to avoid signing conflicts of interest pledges. By June 2018, amid a steady succession of revelations of misconduct, a growing chorus of conservatives had begun suggesting that Pruitt should resign.

Draining a swamp?

Trumps America is a poorly scripted B grade movie with third grade actors being lead by a man who is blinded to truth by his own ego

Dear Belly,

James Comey in his book talks about the US President-
Trump and the picture he paints is horrific. The US President
sees women as pieces of meat, lies constantly,
about matters big and small. And he's morally unfit
to be the US President. It will take years
to fix the problems this man is creating.

Unfit morally to be US President. Suddenly Foxy you believe personal philosophy determines public performance. You seemed to take offence when media and others digged into Julia's personal and past life. Hmmm! For decades regressives argued personal lives have no impact on one's ability to fill a role. Seems like another dogma not really believed unless its one of your own. I think the fact that he puts America first and is defunding planned parenthood is very courageous. Yes he has many character floors like you and me but his policies are spot on. The deplorables base is growing. Whether its enough to get rejected or not we will have to wait and see. He is certainly a breath of fresh air. No pun intended.

The more the hangers-on brigade tries to denounce Trump the more they expose their hypocrisy & outright fear of the possibility of having their irrelevance put on display. I have yet to hear someone who actually works in a community building enterprise to denounce the present POTUS.

Dear runner,

You really are a shocker aren't you. According to Pew research about 87% of the Religious right thought you couldn't be a good leader if you weren't a morally upstanding person. Now that sentiment is in the low 20s.

You and your lot have so completely changed your minds on a thrice married, philandering, pornstar bonking president that it makes my head spin.

You have pissed any credibility up against the wall.

You have no moral authority to be lecturing anyone. Time to just knick off.
