Official Trump Swamp Thread: Still Corrupt as Fuck

This is pretty dumb but would have been amazing if Trump nominated that long haired crazy doc that said he was in the best health of any 70 year old he’d ever seen.

Oh just you wait, his day will come.

I wonder if Trump has a horse.
 
Why is he punching the American flag. That's something a traitor would do.
 
Trump's EPA chief lived in condo tied to lobbyist 'power couple'

For much of his first year in Washington, President Trump’s EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt occupied prime real estate in a townhouse near the U.S. Capitol that is co-owned by the wife of a top energy lobbyist, property records from 2017 show.

Neither the EPA nor the lobbyist, J. Steven Hart, would say how much Pruitt paid to live at the prime Capitol Hill address, though Hart said he believed it to be the market rate. The price tag on Pruitt’s rental arrangement is one key question when determining if it constitutes an improper gift, ethics experts told ABC News.

EPA Chief’s $50-a-Night Rental Raises White House Angst

In all, Pruitt paid $6,100 to use the room for roughly six months, according to copies of the checks reviewed by Bloomberg. Those checks show varying amounts paid on sporadic dates -- not a traditional monthly "rent payment" of the same amount each month.

That was because of the unusual rent schedule -- not a single monthly amount, but a daily amount charged only for days used for a single bedroom in the two-bedroom unit just blocks from the Capitol. The owner is a health care lobbyist, Vicki Hart. Her husband J. Steven Hart, is also a lobbyist and his firm represents clients in industries regulated by the EPA.

One person familiar with the lease compared it to an Airbnb-style arrangement, but Pruitt wasn’t a transient and instead made the apartment his home on nights he was in Washington. The lease -- reviewed by Bloomberg -- says that he was charged $50 a night "based on days of actual occupancy."

To add to the madness, the lobbyists only charged Pruitt a per night rate based on the nights he stayed there.

They had him on NPR yesterday and he sounded very surprised. He mentioned how the president has given him free reign and told him to just "make steps forward." That's about it.
 
That just means follow whichever lobby is putting together the privatization plan.

I don't think we or the President know anything about his thoughts on the matter. I think Trump chose Jackson because he liked him.
 
At least the dude is 1) in the military (so, like, basically a veteran) and 2) a doctor.

That makes him about a million times more qualified than most of Trump's candidates for agencies, even if he's never been been at the head of an organization before.
 
Trump's just learning you can't #draintheswamp with swamp people. Living up to another campaign pledge, which is so refreshing from a politician these days.

It makes more sense than a doctor whose never been the head of an organization before as the HUD secretary. But that's a low bar.
 
Criminal territory lol. The dude works for a company that makes glass bottles. Such a nothing story.
