Trump is not a politician, or wasn't when he first came to office. He was and is still a businessman. His perspective and thinking was not political. He was too trusting and knew NOTHING about the incestuous workings of DC. He trusted too easily and trusted the wrong people. He has since learned his lesson. He DID NOT, repeat, DID NOT fill the swamp. The swamp, which is actually more of a cesspool, has always been there. The Clinton Crime Family filled the swamp. The Bush Crime Family filled the swamp. The hussein Crime Family not only filled the swamp but politicized and corrupted each and every department. Trump walked into a hornets nest so don't even think of blaming him for filling an already filthy place. BTW, Trump has a website where the people have a say in who fills what position, in case you think he is the only one doing the hiring. https://www.mahanow.org/nominees-for-the-people

Al Capone was a businessman too by his own admission. Just giving the people what they want. The tyrannical government was always getting in the way.

Libertarianism is a mind virus about individualistic economics. Marxism is a mind virus about collective economics. Both are intensely idealistic and to that degree, wrong. All viable cultures have both individualistic and communal aspects.

Thinking you can separate economics and politics is specious. They are two different aspects of the same thing. The stuff and who gets it. Nobody gets it by themselves. Obama was right about that part. Of course he used that truth to try and deny individual enterprise. Both are parts of reality. Mind viruses can only see one side.

I have wondered why the USA only has two parties instead of the multiple parties of Europe. The prime ministers or presidents there have to kiss ass to create coalitions in order to govern. Just askin’.
