Trump gave the Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, to Miriam Adelson because she inherited a fortune and gave a bunch of that to Trump's campaign. In case you don't believe me, here's her wikipedia page, there's no other accomplishments of note to be found there.
So I dunno what you mean by "shadowy government swamp". But if trading taxpayer-funded awards for money isn't part of it...shouldn't it be?
And as for Harris, she's one of the few people in congress to actually invest in index funds to avoid conflicts of interest and insider trading in stock investing. She's not above criticism, but she's probably one of least swampy politiicans out there.
