If you want to drain a swamp, you have to begin by building a better swamp. The best swamp, some ecologists are saying they've never seen such a nice clean swamp, okay? When you're trying to drain a swamp, you have to fill it with the best- I know swamps, my uncle was a highly respected Swamp Thing, one of the best you've ever seen, so trust me, okay? I'm going to drain the swamp.

9/10, there’s no way he’d use the word “ecologists”… “experts” maybe.

Also, way too short to be a real quote.

Elite in their mind are people who do expert jobs, take home their paycheck and nothing more because they care about their job, such as scientists, teachers etc. People like Elon are rich and therefore by definition better than experts. Same goes for Trump: his corruption and criminal behaviour is what makes him smart.
