Trump fills the Pentagon swamp

When Donald Trump spoke of coming to Washington to “drain the swamp,” you might have thought the swamp he derided was the incestuous network of insiders who enrich themselves while passing through the revolving door between government and K Street. You might have thought the “draining” would involve slowing the revolving door and ceasing this cycle of self-enrichment.

But no. By “the swamp,” Trump clearly just meant “people I don’t like.” And the draining never happened.
