Letter to the editor: Drain the swamp

Donald Trump’s presidency is rooted in his love of country, God and family. Candidate Trump promised an ambitious agenda to which he has been faithful. He promised the American people jobs, a growing economy, unprecedented manufacturing opportunities, securing of our southern border, an allegiance to the Constitution and Supreme Court justices who would adhere to the Constitution.

Among his promises, the most despised by the elite ruling class, was his vow to drain the swamp. The swamp is the ruling elite of both parties, at all levels of government, made up of senators, congressmen, the press, lobbyists, law enforcement, the judiciary, etc.

Trump is a threat to the entrenched power of the swamp, thus his presidency cannot be allowed to succeed. The swamp doesn’t just want to defeat our president; they want him in prison. However, since he owes them nothing, he doesn’t fear them.

Trump works every day to preserve our individual liberty, the rule of law and free market capitalism — the ingredients that made America great. To keep America great, neither should we fear the swamp, but dedicate ourselves to backing our president and his mission. This is our obligation to our families, ourselves and to our God. Drain the swamp!
