“Drain the swamp” was a popular phrase employed by Donald Trump on the campaign trail, code for fighting special interests in Washington. But according to Trump supporter and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, don’t expect the president-elect to use that phrase again.

“ ‘He now says it was cute, but he doesn’t want to use it anymore. ... I think it vividly illustrates the problem, because all the people in this city who are the alligators are going to hate the swamp being drained. And there’s going to be constantly fighting over it. But, you know, he is my leader, and if he decides to drop the swamp and the alligator, I will drop the swamp and the alligator.’ ” — Newt Gingrich

In the interview with NPR, Gingrich said the Trump team will have to convince “reasonable people” that he’s operating within the bounds of integrity.
