While Trump is clearly already well on his way to draining the swamp (which means bringing in outsiders to replace the career politicians and hangers on that infest Washington), its interesting that the media continues to talk incessantly about this particular slogan while ignoring the actual core of the Trump Philosophy which is America First.

Throughout the campaign, the media and the bipartisan anti-Trump elite insisted that Trump had no overarching philosophy or even any coherent ideas at all. They either had never heard of America First, which is not new nor invented by Trump (the modern version was largely revived and popularized by Pat Buchanan in the 1990s), or deliberately didn't want anyone to focus on the philosophy of America First. They either have no answer to America First ideas, are afraid to debate it, or are deliberatly ignoring it hoping it will just go away or people won't notice it.

Clearly, America First is much more central to Trump ideology than draining swamps, which is a secondary though still important part of the agenda. Trump has even said the core of his entire philosophy is America First.

There is disagreement among America Firsters over some aspects of the philosophy, but there's no denying that its the core of Trump philosophy.

Trump is going to do what ever he can to make himself look successful.

He's a very insecure person who is all about appearances.

He knows that appearances can be deceiving.

His "strategy" will be to deceive anyone or everyone at every opportunity to perpetuate the notion he is a success of his own making.

The above includes Congressional Republicans.

Look forward to him being at odds with them and siding with the majority of Americans on issues such as Healthcare.

AIUI, America First is all about economic protectionism and military isolationism. I can't really see Trump embracing the second part.

He's starting a new band.
