Trump's vow could make the swamp 'bigger and slimier than ever': columnist

Donald Trump once vowed to "drain the swamp" tapping into populist frustrations with Washington, D.C, but a Wall Street Journal columnist warned that if the president-elect's plans for broad tariffs succeed, he'll do exactly the opposite: make the "bigger and slimier than ever."

Trump has proposed significant tariff increases on imports from several countries, including a 25% tariff on all goods imported from Mexico and Canada, and an additional 10% tariff on all goods imported from China.
