Politics. Nonfiction. HTML:

When Washington D.C. was first built, it was on top of a swamp that had to be drained. Donald Trump says it's time to drain it again.

In The Swamp, bestselling author and Fox News Channel host Eric Bolling presents an infuriating, amusing, revealing, and outrageous history of American politics, past and present, Republican and Democrat. From national political scandals to tempests in a teapot that blew up; bribery, blackmail, bullying, and backroom deals that contradicted public policies; cronyism that cost taxpayers hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars; and personal conduct that can only be described as regrettable, The Swamp is a journey downriver through the bayous and marshes of Capitol Hill and Foggy Bottom.

The presidential election of 2016 was ugly, but it exposed a political, media, industry, and elite establishment that desperately wanted to elect a politician who received millions of dollars from terror-funding states over a businessman willing to tell the corrupt or incompetent, "You're fired."

The audiobook concludes with a series of recommendations for President Trump: practical, hard-headed, and concise ways to drain the swamp and force Washington to be more transparent, more accountable, and more effective in how it serves those who have elected its politicians and pay the bills for their decisions.

Last year President Trump declared Wake Up America to be a "huge" book; Eric Bolling's second audiobook is surely to build on that success. Entertaining and timely, The Swamp is the perfect audiobook for today's political climate.

If your looking for some analytical, thoughtful revelations in this book, you will be disappointed. Essentially Mr. Bolling describes some scandals in government over the past 250 year history of the US to prove his point that government is bad and that if we would only cut taxes, regulations, and let the free market work its magic, all would be well. And drain the swamp (Washington DC) - do away with all the pigs at the trough.

He is a bit fast and loose with the facts and likes to use the word "seems" when facts may not quite support a purported scandal. And probably the clincher that might shake your faith in Mr. Bolling's clarity of thought is that his hopeful answer for cleaning up graft, greed, cronyism, sexual misconduct, unaccountability, etc. in DC is none other than the "self-made" (with a few million dollars from dad) President Trump.

It is a quick read, but with a lot of repetition, with very little supportive detail for his ideas. ( )
