Jason Horowitz writes in The New York Times that the Beltway elite fear that President-elect Donald Trump’s “drain the swamp” mentality will greatly reduce the posh culture of Washington, D.C., which expanded under Barack Obama’s presidency. From The New York Times:

“I’m worried about people not wanting to come here because of the image they have of the Trump administration,” Mr. Gray said.
Now a member of the City Council, Mr. Gray said the engagement of Mr. Obama and his family with the city has been “tremendously uplifting.”
“Their presence in the city brought a level of dynamism that just wasn’t there before,” he said.

“D.C. is going to take a really hard hit, culturally, socially, everything. We were really finding our footing; we weren’t second to New York,” said Jazmine Johnson, a graphic designer who said she now planned to move to New York.

It’s 2001 all over again. :-/ I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump does his summer vacations—if he has any!—at his resorts away from the USA.
as in culture of noxious bacteria
if they’re worrying about artsy fartsy stuff they needn’t, that is of no import to Donald
Huh? Yup. Weird how they make it sound like a bad thing. I hear the nyt is gonna start being honest in their reporting. HAHAHAHAHAAHA!
A neutron bomb would really do the trick.
Don’t worry Mayor, DC Culture will be just fine as soon as President Trump relocates all the Syrian Refugees to your City.
Federal agencies should be spread out amongst the states, not all in DC or nearby.
You mean - change its sewage system.
Totally agree. Drain the swamp.
Time to squash the posh ASAP!
Vibrant culture is code for embezzlement. Now I am triggered
Hilarious.
They're afraid Trump will turn off the easy money spigot. D.C. and the surrounding suburbs are among the wealthiest areas in the country.
