There are four pillars of the Swamp in Washington, D.C. Each of them works against the American people and President Trump’s agenda.
The legislative and judicial branches are the first two pillars. Each institution, in their original form, were created for good. Now, these once good institutions have been remade into something that has and continues, to hurt our country.
