The verdict as of now must be that Trump indeed is not what a large portion of his voters
thought he would be, and certainly not what he claimed to be. Those who maintain the
astroturf narrative 'Trump vs. the Deep State' - were fed the trope by Hannity and the faux-alt
right press on the web.
One does not drain the swamp by appointing Lockheed Martin executives in top Defense Dept
positions (Assistant Secretary and Policy Director are both LM execs), while Lockheed sales
to the DoD are almost 40 Billion/annual. One does not appoint Goldman Sachs executives to
top Economic Advisor (Gary Cohn) and Treasury (Mnuchin) .
The list goes on and on in every single department - with the negotiated appointment
of Ben Carson to the lowly HUD being the lone exception.
His actions abroad are totally in-line with the CIA and the so-called Deep State,
a term formerly and more appropriately dubbed the Shadow Government.
Trump is either one of them, or incapacitated.
Most likely he is one of them, and always has been.
