Jason Horowitz writes in The New York Times that the Beltway elite fear that President-elect Donald Trumps drain the swamp mentality will greatly reduce the posh culture of Washington, D.C., which expanded under Barack Obamas presidency. From The New York Times:
What the effect on Washington will be when Donald J. Trump moves into the White House is hard to predict. But many Washingtonians fear the worst. Among them is Vincent Gray, the citys mayor during much of the Obama administration.
Im 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 wasnt there before, he said.
D.C. is going to take a really hard hit, culturally, socially, everything. We were really finding our footing; we werent second to New York, said Jazmine Johnson, a graphic designer who said she now planned to move to New York.

culture = swamp
Donald to his appointees and employees: “We are here to work for the American people. We are not here to worry about culture.”
As if the culture in the rest of fly over country doesn’t matter. I cannot stand those liberal pukes.
Crash the housing market there
LOL, look how many responses this got, and so quickly too!
Living off the government teat will soon end for these DC elites.
Maybe they can flip burgers at McDonalds.
The media has had almost a week - and STILL has not found a way to write a positive story about Trump.
We have our answer about the corrupt media, they are doubling down and will redouble their negative attack lies against Trump.
Washington DC is the center of the American Empire.
All our elites live there, and like Rome, as the Empire grows, so does the stature of its residents.
Yeah ... sucking up tax money from the productive class, doing violence to the American economy, ignoring the Constitutional limits on government ...
FOAD.
The sidewalk argula vendors may take a hit but not much else will change.
DC is only vibrant because of the money they confiscate from the rest of the country.
uh, . . . goood!
The wailing of the Elitist Pricks makes my Heart skip a beat.
obama is stayin...what’s the problem ?
I don’t think Trump will be taking any vacations. He only took off maybe a weekend over the last 18 months?
And the LameStream Media was sure to criticize him for taking off a HALF-DAY to celebrate the opening of the Washington hotel under budget and under schedule.
Afraid he’s going to shut down some pizza joints?
No more take-out pizza parties?
It is 1980 all over again....
