Sacrifice zones such as the inner cities, the very rural deep south and Appalachia were written off both by the power structure and the american public long ago, and nothing has changed. Watch.
You forget that Trump ran against the establishment politicians in both parties and beat them.
Our political class has been doing that forever, same as it ever was; recycled swamp rats and utterly bipartisan Goldman Sachs continuity - just like Don.
You clearly don't know what "draining the swamp" means. It has nothing to do with hiring people to serve in government, it is about preventing political appointees from taking jobs in private industry too soon after leaving government because the lure of big salaries might influence their decisions while still serving in government. Trump is requiring everyone who serves in his administration to sign a pledge they will not take a job in private industry that is connected to their duties while serving in government. So under the Trump administration some one who left Goldman Sachs to serve in the government cannot go back to anything connected to Wall Street for at least five years, and for most of these people it means they are sacrificing millions of dollars for the opportunity to serve the nation.
Where do you think you would find people who had proven they had the talent, knowledge and leadership abilities to run agencies employing thousands of people engaged in diverse complex tasks if not from among the leaders of private industry? The reason why these appointees are nearly always older is that it takes years to demonstrate you have the talent, skills and leadership abilities to do the job.
The exception to this is, of course, the Obama administration where people were appointed more because of their political and personal loyalties than their demonstrated abilities.
