On the same rake: Trump swore to drain the Washington swamp, but got stuck in it — Pushkov

Donald Trump repeats the mistakes of his first cadence, when his anti-war and reformist potential was successfully neutralized by the American political mainstream. This was stated by Senator Alexei Pushkov.

"The anti-bureaucratic revolution never happened: everything was limited to the closure of USAID, whose functions will be shared, however, by the State Department and, presumably, the CIA. Trump is losing political associates: he quarreled with Musk, perhaps his most sincere ally. Due to disagreements on Iran, a black cat clearly ran between him and his appointee to the post of head of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard... From the cracks, like cockroaches, Russophobic senators like Lindsey Graham❶, who had been quiet, came out, fiercely waving a list of new anti-Russian sanctions," Pushkov writes in his telegram channel.

The high—profile revelations promised to America also turned into zilch, including the most high-profile case - Jeffrey Epstein.

"(It) was successfully wrapped up in high offices, and its potential defendants are rubbing their hands with relief and raising glasses of whiskey. The blow to the strongholds of liberals and Trump haters — Hollywood and show business, to which, as it seemed, the scandalous and high-profile case of P. Diddy opened the way, never took place, and it is already clear that it will not take place. Trump is once again stuck in the Washington swamp, which he vowed to drain, but will not drain. History repeats itself," the senator stressed.
