The swamp is alive and well inside President Trump's own administration. A shocking Washington Examiner investigation reveals that dozens of Obama and Biden-era bureaucrats are still pulling the strings at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), occupying influential leadership positions that could derail Trump's promised crackdown on healthcare fraud.
How is this possible three weeks into Trump's second term? This is exactly the kind of deep state infiltration that Patriots voted to eliminate in November.
These embedded operatives aren't just paper-pushers – they're running entire divisions within CMS, the agency responsible for overseeing nearly $1.5 trillion in annual healthcare spending. With that kind of money flowing through the system, is it any wonder that Trump's anti-fraud initiatives might face "unexpected" roadblocks?
The Administrative State Strikes Back
President Trump campaigned on draining the swamp and rooting out government waste and fraud. But how can he succeed when the very people tasked with implementing his vision are the same bureaucrats who spent years building the corrupt system he's trying to dismantle?
This isn't incompetence – it's sabotage by design. The administrative state has perfected the art of survival, burrowing deep into the federal bureaucracy where they can outlast any elected president who threatens their power.
"The deep state doesn't just disappear when a new president takes office. They dig in deeper and wait for their moment to strike."
While Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) works to slash wasteful spending, these Obama-Biden holdovers are perfectly positioned to slow-walk reforms, bury investigations, and protect the fraudulent networks they've spent years cultivating.
Time for Action
President Trump didn't win a landslide victory so that Obama and Biden's people could continue running his agencies. Americans demand immediate action to remove these deep state operatives and replace them with officials who will actually implement the Trump agenda.
Every day these holdovers remain in power is another day that Medicare fraud continues to rob taxpayers blind. The question isn't whether Trump will clean house at CMS – it's whether he'll do it before these saboteurs can do irreversible damage to his healthcare reform agenda.
