D.C. Swamp Strikes Back: Aaron Burr, Donald Trump and Their Similar Battles
Victims separated by centuries, bound by opponents’ hatred
In D.C. Swamp Strikes Back, author Dennis Brennan explores the striking parallels between two of America’s most controversial political figures—Aaron Burr and Donald Trump. Though separated by more than two centuries, both men found themselves at the center of relentless attacks by political elites determined to bring them down.
From Aaron Burr’s fall after the duel that ended Alexander Hamilton’s life, to Donald Trump’s unprecedented legal challenges and political indictments, Brennan reveals how entrenched power structures—what some now call the “D.C. swamp”—have used public opinion, media influence, and the justice system as tools of political warfare.
This provocative book dives deep into the machinery of political persecution, examining how the law can be weaponized, how narratives are crafted to serve agendas, and how those who challenge the status quo become targets. Whether you view Burr and Trump as villains, victims, or something in between, this compelling analysis forces readers to confront uncomfortable questions about power, justice, and the price of defiance.
A timely and thought-provoking read, D.C. Swamp Strikes Back invites you to consider whether history is repeating itself—and at what cost.

This book sets forth a strong argument that Trump isn’t the first American office holder attacked by the deep state unfairly. Aaron Burr, a former Vice President, suffered the humiliation of multiple trials and won a legal victory but at the cost of his political career. In contrast, perhaps because he is a student of history, Trump overcame the same type of lawfare, winning not only his legal battles but the trust and support of the voters to win another election. It is a fascinating book that everyone should read.

Thomas Jefferson, one of the greatest Presidents in USA history was relentlessly vindictive toward Aaron Burr, who historians have marked as a “bad guy”. Joe Biden, one of the worst Presidents in USA history used the same system in an attempt to satisfy his own narrow political ends. We learn that Burr was both a brilliant politician for his time but was unable to save his historical reputation. Donald Trump, on the other hand, overcame the nasty lawfare to secure the Presidency again. This book examines the uncanny similarities between the two men’s battles against the swamp. While Burr failed, Trump succeeded. If Burr was a good politician and strategist, who was unfairly prosecuted, Trump brought that level up to great.

This book is masterful. I couldn’t stop reading it. YES, Donald Trump and Aaron Burr were treated poorly. Luckily, Donald Trump overcame the Deep State. If Aaron Burr had been able to overcome his adversaries in the government, perhaps he too, could have been President
