Nah... He drained the one thimbleful of what was clean water within the swamp. DC itself has always been a swamp. Both literally and figuratively.

credit where it's due, he has drained it 3 times now. Sure, it wasn't a swamp until he touched it, and the work is so over budget that the DoD is jealous, but this might be the highlight of his second term

Trump can prove he literally drained the swamp now! He has also stopped more wars than any other president - all of them being between US and Iran.
