Story highlights
"Drain the swamp" was a popular refrain during Trump's campaign
But adviser Newt Gingrich says Trump "doesnt like it anymore"
(CNN)"Drain the swamp" was a refrain of Donald Trump during the presidential
campaign, but Newt Gingrich says the president-elect "doesn't want to use
it anymore" now that he's knee-deep in alligators.
"I'm told he now just disclaims that. He now says it was cute, but he doesn'
t want to use it anymore," Gingrich, who informally advises Trump, said
Wednesday on NPR's "Morning Edition."
The former House Speaker said that he had "written what I thought was a very
cute tweet about 'the alligators are complaining,'" but that "somebody
wrote back and said they were tired of hearing this stuff."
During his campaign, Trump repeatedly vowed to "drain the swamp" -- leading
chants of the phrase at his rallies -- part of an anti-establishment, anti-
Washington message that was predicated on rooting out corruption and
bringing an outsider's perspective to government.
But since the election, the phrase has been turned against Trump with biting
irony.
Critics have used it to assail Trump's high-level appointments of Wall
Street and DC veterans, like former Goldman Sachs executive Steven Mnuchin
as treasury secretary and Sen. Jeff Sessions as attorney general. Ron Klain,
a former Obama administration official, tweeted, "Sure, Drain the Swamp.
Congrats to all you outsiders who thought that Hillary Clinton was too
establishment." | k******0
