The Trump Administration
Official
The Swamp is horrified by Trump’s appointments not because they’re "unqualified", it’s because they’re young outsiders.
That’s not how it’s been done in DC lately.
You’re supposed to spend decades in the Swamp before you get a Cabinet post, selling your soul, abusing your office to repay your donors with favors (on demand), all while compromising yourself so deeply that you can never betray the Swamp's secrets without destroying your whole life and your family.
That’s what, in the murky minds of Swampers, makes someone “qualified.”
Now, they’re resentful because Trump’s appointees skipped the line.
They’re also mad because many of them are about to be exposed as useless at best, treasonous at worst.
The mystique of their “expertise” is about to be shattered by young, patriotic outsiders - like the Founding Fathers.
In 1776 Thomas Jefferson was 33, John Hancock was 39, Alexander Hamilton was 21, and James Monroe was 18.
It’s gonna be awesome to watch.
