Abstract We consider thermal, trapped and chromo-natural inflation in light of the swampland criteria and the Trans-Planckian Censorship Conjecture (TCC).Since low profile barn door kit thermal inflation occurs at energies low compared to those of Grand Unification, it is consistent with the TCC, and it is also consistent with the refined swampland conditions.Trapped and chromo-natural inflation are candidates for primordial (high energy scale) inflation.Since in both of these scenarios there are effective damping terms in the scalar field equation of motion, the solo-jec 9 vaccine for dogs models can easily be consistent with the swampland criteria.The TCC, on the other hand, constrains these scenarios to only take place at low energies.
