Trump promised the USA voters during the campaign that he would drain the swamp in Washington. True to his words he has started well to fulfil his promise by not nominating a single candidate from the swamp for more than a dozen cabinet and other important posts. However, he has a long way to go to break the cosy club of the elitist Politicians and the Media. For the last few decades the club had a good time by not allowing any others to be included, mainly by keeping a strangle hold on the podium, for the dialogue on the future of the humanity. We are witnessing a fresh wind blowing in the world like in Philippines, Bharat, Austria, Italy, Poland, Britain and the USA. It is mainly due to the easily accessible new information outlets (Email, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) to the general public for dialogue. There is a lot of noisy resistance by the club to the little change which has happened like awards wapsi for Modi’s intolerance, blockade of parliament for Beata Szydlo’s restriction on so called “press freedom”, maligning BoJo for Brexit and effort to delegitimize Trump victory under the guise of Russian hacking and recount of votes. We should be happy to hear the recent comments by Trump on the capture of a drone by China, rumours of cancellation of daily briefings at the Whitehouse and annihilation of ISIS. The people are seeing the truth and hence, the change will occur in spite of loud protestation by Obama, Bligh and other elitist Politicians and the Main Stream Media.
