"Drain the swamp" means different things to different people.

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.
