Remember when Trump promised to “drain the swamp?”

The latest Lincoln Project does too. Their newest ad comes to the President’s defense…sort of. They give him credit where credit is due: he DID drain the swamp — only it was the wrong one.

Watch:

“Trump drained the swamp, just not the one he promised.”

Gator’s coach wants to ‘pack’ the stadium during a pandemic

On Saturday, Florida Gater’s football coach Dan Mullen came under fire for telling the community to “pack” the Tigers stadium this weekend. He said, “hopefully, the UF administration decides to let us pack The Swamp against LSU” and added, “Absolutely want to see 90,000 in The Swamp.”

Famous last words.

Mullen tests positive for COVID-19

In a cruel sucker-punch from karma, 21 Florida players later tested positive for COVID-19, followed by Coach Dan Mullen himself. A lesson the coach may have learned from the example set by Donald Trump who continues to hold packed rallies during the pandemic of a highly contagious and potentially deadly disease.

The football ‘swamp’ is now drained

The Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Florida is also known as “The Swamp.” Donald Trump has repeatedly promised to drain the swamp. In the lead up to the 2016 election, he tweeted “drain the swamp” a total of 79 times. He tweeted “swamp” a further 75 times in the last four years.

The United States was one of the world’s worst-hit countries by the coronavirus pandemic. For several months earlier in the year, America was the global epicenter of COVID-19. The virus continues to spread throughout the nation. One of the latest victims to test positive for the disease was the President himself.

Now, with the rising numbers in Florida and the outbreak among the players, the game was canceled. The Ben Hill Griffin Stadium was eerily quiet and utterly empty…a drained swamp.

Is this the swamp he meant?

Today, nearly 220 thousand Americans have died from COVID-19. While many more have recovered from the disease, “Long Covid” is a new condition that reportedly affects hitherto healthy patients for up to six months or longer. In addition, the case of the 25-year-old Seattle man who caught COVID-19 twice is chilling proof that succumbing to the virus does not bring immunity.

Twitter makes the case the Lincoln Project is being too hard on Mullen…

Some users defended Mullen, arguing that his words had been taken out of context, and pointing out he later issued an apology.

…Or not hard enough

While others condemned Mullen’s wish for a stadium packed with “90,000 fans” as irresponsible and foolhardy.

Let’s not forget who really drained the swamp

After Dan Mullen, the majority of the Twitter fire was directed at the real reason the stadium was emptied: Trump’s mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many users agreed with the Lincoln Project; Trump did indeed drain the swamp.

Is it time to drain the swamp in the White House?

No one likes to have football taken away, but come 3rd of November, a different swamp could be drained.
