Staff Reports
President-elect Donald Trump is about to plunge headfirst into the swamp known as Capitol Hill, a place where “loyalty” often means something entirely different than it does to ordinary Americans. As he prepares to take on the establishment, Trump will likely have a front-row seat to the shenanigans of career politicians who publicly wave the flag but secretly plot against his America First agenda. It’s a classic case of “smile to your face, stab you in the back.”
Within a matter of minutes after his inauguration, those entrenched in the political elite will jockey for position, eager to curry favor with the new president. Yet many of them are not planning to steer America toward greatness but instead seem dedicated to their self-interest and maintaining the status quo. Trump’s challenge will be to quickly identify who is truly in his corner and who is merely aiming to save their own skin when the proverbial feces hits the fan.

One can almost picture the establishment Republicans piling onto Capitol Hill, clutching their pearls with one hand while brandishing knives with the other. There’s plenty of talk about unity, but when push comes to shove, many of these seasoned insiders will quietly try to derail Trump’s bold ideas in favor of business as usual—because nothing screams “drain the swamp” like pouring more murky water into it.
What’s clear is that Trump’s decisiveness and penchant for shaking things up will put the spineless GOP members on notice. If they thought they could cling to their comfortable seats while pretending to back the America First agenda, they might want to rethink their morning coffee. Trump’s administration promises to make quick work of weeding out the phonies, and it’s sure to be a spectacle worth tuning into.
Ultimately, as the dust settles and his presidency begins, Trump will have the unique opportunity to reshape the Republican Party, purging it of those who are more interested in lip service than real reform. It’s a tall order, no doubt, but with a willingness to challenge the status quo, the President-elect stands poised to transform the political landscape, leaving behind only true patriots for the American cause.
