Trump: This is NOT what "Draining the Swamp" looks like

Interesting Collection by Corporate Accountability International

Trump's cabinet is a swamp full of corporate lobbyists.

Donald Trump railed against corporate power all through the election season. He promised to “drain the swamp” of special interests in Washington. But you need look no further than his cabinet appointments to see that he has no intention of draining the swamp.

In fact, his actions promise to flood the swamp, entrench corporate power, and deepen conflicts of interest between the White House and corporations.
