One of the joyous things about political messaging lately!
Other dual-meaning phrases that have been abused of late:
* Fake news
* voter fraud
* Election rigging
* Collusion
* Corruption
What else do we have?
Never got the meaning to "drain the swamp". Is there a negative perception about having wetlands?
Swamps have a lot of standing water which creates a lot of mosquitoes that carry diseases. Draining a swamp reclaims land and prevents kids from dying.
I see. I always thought it was just, "swamps are smelly, okay?"
"The swamp" is a metaphor for DC politics. Unpleasant to navigate and very slow moving.
