Does Trump Have Any Chance Of Draining The Swamp?

Let’s play a “What if” game of 20 questions and also review price action of gold.

For the following questions substitute “Biden” for Trump”. Answer honestly.
Twenty What If Questions
- What if Biden proposed a budget that increased the deficit, added trillions to debt, and handed out big favors to high tax blue states specifically, and gave additional breaks to favored groups?
- What if Biden cancelled security clearances and demanded millions of dollars of pro bono work from any law firm defending Trump?
- What if Biden threatened to impeach judges who disagreed with him?
- What if Biden threatened to Suspend Habeas Corpus?
- What if Biden took a plane from Qatar while president and donated it to support his presidential library?
- What if Biden discussed deporting US citizens?
- What if Biden mistakenly fired 350 nuclear workers then had to rehire them?
- What if Biden unilaterally cancelled a treaty signed 99-1 by the Senate?
- What if Biden sought to impound money Congress allocated for defense spending or other Republican-sponsored ideas?
- What if Biden took extreme positions on the Constitution to silence political enemies?
- What if Biden said “We Don’t Do Much Business with Canada” when in fact Canada is our largest trading partner?
- What if Biden made a Memorial Day Statement that did nothing but rant about Republicans?
- What if Biden refused a direct court order by a Republican appointed Judge?
- What if Biden threatened to expel any student that rallied in favor Israel? [substituting Israel for Palestine].
- What if Biden attacked Walmart for setting prices too high and told automakers “Don’t Raise Prices“?
- What if Biden proposed “Tariffs are a tax cut for the American people“?
- What if in response to the question “Don’t you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States as president?” Biden answered: “I don’t know. I’m not – I’m not a lawyer.”
- What if Biden said, on a government expansion of a brand new program, “The program will only cost $175 Billion and it will be done in three years“? Would you believe it? Think Golden Dome.
- What if Biden wanted a brand new program government new rural hospital fund?
- What if Biden created a meme coin with his image on it, and held a meme coin fundraiser whose primary beneficiary was Biden and his family?
For questions 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 20, Republicans would not just be screaming, but screaming impeachment.
Biden did some similar things, notably flouting the Supreme Court on student debt, but he did nothing in total like the combined actions of Trump.
Nonetheless, we mostly have Republican praise. When there is no praise, it’s silence.
Bonus Question
How do you drain the swamp by acting just like the swamp and adding trillions trillion to the national debt in the process?
Neither the US dollar nor gold seems to believe Trump will drain the swap. And I don’t either.
Filling the Swamp
Trump will not drain the swamp because he is the swap. Biden is also the swamp. We have a swamp on the Left and a swamp on the Right.
The Left-Right swamp interaction puts more swamp in front of us and behind us too. It’s swamp as far as the eye can see, and it’s constantly getting bigger.
You are delusional if you think someone filling the swamp will magically drain it.

On May 6, I commented Gold Soars to Another New High, What’s the Message?
There are three messages. Do you see them?

“No one is draining the swamp. Instead, Congress, the Fed, and White House are the swamp draining us.“
