When President Trump took office in 2020, one of his promises to the American people was to “drain the swamp.”
But the swamp was never drained, and the former president confided his thoughts about his failure to none other than RFK Jr.
“I think we need a president who is willing to step in there and who is not part of that system,” RFK told Bradley Martin of the Nerk Boys on “The Full Send Podcast.”
“I think that's President Trump. I think President Trump tried to clean up the mess last time, and he meant well, but he didn't know how to do it. And he said to me, 'You know, I didn't know anything about governing,' and he said, 'We won this election and all of a sudden we have to fill 60,000 jobs,' or something like that,” he continued.
“He said, 'I was surrounded by people, lobbyists and business interests,'” RFK continued, explaining that Trump had been pressured to appoint certain people.
“He told me, 'I never want to go through that again,' and 'Those guys were bad people, and I'm going to do it differently next time.'
“He wants to do something good for this country, and I know how to do that, and he's asked me to help him do that, so I'm very optimistic that if we do that, if we do what he says we can actually fix a lot of this corruption,” he concluded.
Rubin liked what he was hearing.
“When I listen to him talk about this, it's real, it's true, it's something he's discussed with Trump, and I believe he says he doesn't want to make this mistake again,” he said, adding, “So I hope Trump has a little humility.”
