Juan Williams Calls Trump ‘King of the Swamp’ After Republican National Convention Theatrics

Fox News analyst Juan Williams wrote a blistering op-ed today for The Hill where he claimed that President Trump is now “King of the Swamp” after he “got away with turning the White House into a gaudy stage for partisan politics.”

Williams believes that “swamp creatures thrive at the President Trump White House” and that “the president has opened the door to blatant corruption.”

Williams, who makes money by being the liberal voice on a conservative network, also had criticism for media outlets who don’t write with the same slant that he’s accustomed to.

From The Hill:

Now The New York Times reports the huckster tactics are distorting conservative media.

Reporter Kevin Roose wrote “pro-Trump political influencers” make money by swarming “every major news story, creating a torrent of viral commentary that reliably drowns out both the mainstream media and the liberal opposition.”

The Huffington Post recently reported on the booming market for pro-Trump memes that is enriching conservative teens.

“As Election Day looms, MAGA meme moguls are enjoying explosive surges in traffic …Their thriving cottage industry serves as a free propaganda operation for the president’s campaign” — and brings money to anyone willing to dive into the Trump swamp, wrote Jesselyn Cook.

Eric Hoffer, the philosopher, once wrote, “Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.”

After the convention and on the Fox News show that Williams co-hosts, The Five, Williams called Cuban-born Maximo Alverez, “disgusting,” for comparing Democratic Presidential Candidate Joe Biden to Fidel Castro, who he called a “communist dictator.”
