Leid Stories—Of Swamps and Sinkholes: The Dreadful, Destructive Politics of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton—06.01.17

They’re at full tilt at the moment, each competing for the who’s-been-more-wronged prize.

Donald Trump says his campaign vow to “drain the swamp” of Washington bureaucrats, insiders and hack politicians who’ve been running a parallel government working against the interests of the people has made him a target of that system. Hillary Clinton says she was robbed of the nation’s top job. Trump’s win is not legitimate because Russia interfered in the election to help him win, she says (A federal probe is ongoing.)

Four months into Trump’s tenure, at least one thing is clear: Neither he nor Clinton, who hasn’t let up on her campaign, is a gift to America. They’re creatures of the swamp and the sinkhole.
