Is there merit to the arguments made in this video? Or where are they wrong? They seem like good arguments to me, but I am interested in other perspectives.

I agree, though I think the corruption goes far beyond Trump. I keep thinking of "drain the swamp", which was an appealing campaign promise, but I think neither Trump nor the Republicans drained the swamp. They just made a new, bigger swamp so you don't notice the old one so much. I agree with the conclusion of the video that the United States is on the brink if irrecoverable, though I expect there are still many years of turmoil before the decline is complete. And, sadly, probably some tactical nuclear strikes.

They did drain the swamp - drained it straight into the white house and cabinet.

Every accusation is a confession.
