I'm just of the opinion that Trump is equally "swampy," he just masked it with his promises and rhetoric.
I don't really see how people think this to be honest.
What ties does Trump have to the political classes that get anywhere near the level of corruption that Hillary Clinton has? Genuinely asking because I'd like to know.
Trump ain't a saint and I'd never portray him as such, all people with that much money are doing dodgy dealings somewhere along the line. He doesn't represent the common man of non-privilege by any stretch. But for me, if you put it in perspective, to say Trump is equally swampy? Really?
One of the biggest things going for him, is that he really doesn't give a fuck about pandering to special interests. Why would he? He can afford to fund his own campaign for one example, why would he be in the backpocket of anyone but himself.
His pick for treasury sec is a man who wanted to kick a 90 year old woman out of her house because she underpaid a single mortgage payment by 27 cents.
Immorality and corruption thy names are Trump

That's cuz most countries don't have a population the size of the US's. Or democracy.
Just sayin'.
The US doesn't have democracy. And India with a population greater than three times the US's can run off a popular vote (one of the prequisites for democracy) not a bother
