A wise man once told me "If you go out hunting poisonous snakes, don't blame the snake if you get bit."
When you campaign claiming "We need to drain the swamp", and then you take decisive action to begin draining the swamp, should you be surprized when EVERY SWAMP CREATURE wants to attack you? The swamp is their home, their career, their power, their whole life. They are vicious creatures at the best of times - that's how they came to rule the swamp, and command the loyalty of an army of lesser swamp creatures. The very fact that they attacked him at every turn just convinced me that he was on the 'right' path.
"It's all in how you tell the story" - It's how the story gets told and spread to us, the people. Given that the very best storytellers in the nation, with the largest audiences, went into overdrive to spin the worst story possible, it's understandable that many, many people started to repeat this tale to themselves.
What is REALLY amazing, is that everyone in the nation didn't start to believe the story they were spinning.
Here is the triumph, and the thing that should give us all hope: That the truth, reason, logic, were able to resist the overwhelming forces against him and what he was doing. The tremendous support he had, despite the very best efforts of the most vile, vicious, opponents (including very many in his own camp), is nothing short of amazing.
