He could have used better words. It seems like he is saying he's guilty of election interference. Like my MIL used to say, "usala" use it, that is, use your head.
Trump was way to open and up front about draining the swamp. The swamp doesn't want to be drained, and once Trump put them on notice, they fought back--hard.
The swamp still needs to be drained. But you're going to have to approach that skillfully and at least somewhat clandestinely. The trick is to strike before they can strike back, and announcing your intentions up front is not the way to do that.

Yep. I've had that thought for years now. Right idea. Wrong approach.
Trump became the most powerful man in the free world, and still got his azz kicked.

And, most bothersome of all, he has not shown even a glimmer of recognition that he’s learned from the experience.
5d chess player? A more accurate description would be retarded dog in heat.

A retarded dog in heat savant worth billions. I guess all that money just fell in his lap rather than him being smart enough to generate, or at least perpetuate, fantastic wealth on his own.
Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth. I'm guessing all you Trump haters just don't want a booming economy, a feared presence on the world stage or an independent thinker leading our country while keeping us out of global conflicts that we have no business being involved in. No, instead you all appear to be fine with an apparatus that is destroying this country more and more with each and every passing day while feeding the MIC and placing us on the edge of WWIII.
Maybe it's just not hurting enough yet? When and if the true account of this period in our history is written you guys will fall on the wrong side of all this. And when we end up with another rabid dog democrat in office leading us farther down the path of destruction you guys will be every bit as much to blame as any leftist. And don't bother telling me that when he wins the nod that you'll hold your nose and vote for him (and expose yourselves as absolute hypocrites).

I can't speak for anyone else. But for myself only, I want ALL of those things. The shame is that Donald Trump, by his own arrogance and incompetence, singlehandedly threw them away in 2020.
And I am convinced that he will do the same in 2024.

And here is a sparklingly stupid reason why that will happen. Instead of facing up to the unbelievably glaring, but completely correctable, shortcomings of Donald Trump, his apologists instead jump right to the logical fallacy that if you are not fully with him then you must be on the side of the progressives.
40% of the nation agrees with you, TB4E. But that's it.
