President Donald Trump has performed poorly in his promise to keep corporate executives out of government, Sen. Elizabeth Warren said Thursday.
« That’s why I give President Trump an F on his promise to drain the swamp, » the Massachusetts Democrat told CNN.
« We have these regulatory agencies in place to watch out for the public interest and when you load them up with a bunch of lobbyists and corporate consultants, then what happens is, once again, government works for the big guys and just not for anyone else, » Warren said.
« I’m glad to see a high stock market, but that wealth is not widely shared. It does not mean that middle-class America is doing well, » she added.
« What’s happened to middle-class America is, basically, it’s been flat wages and rising expenses for the basics, for housing, for health care, for transportation, for education… a rising stock market isn’t what helps on those issues. »
Warren is considered to be on the list of possible contenders for the Democratic nomination for president in 2020.
