Trump as tool of America's "deep state"

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


How are things going for the guy who was going to drain the swamp?

My hunch is that Trump’s enthusiasm for draining the swamp waned mightily once he realized he had become the boss ‘gator in that swamp.

As things stand, he’s surrounded by deep-swamp creatures like Bolton and Pompeo. That tells me that whatever “drainage” he may have once envisioned has come to naught.

Instead, he’s going with the neolib flow.

Not that he has much choice.

It’s interesting to see how our mainstream press, the same folks who literally created Trump as a media celebrity, turned on him once he became prez. It’s not Trump who changed; it’s the way he’s treated by the same media that fawned all over him from the early ’80s till 2016.

Also interesting is how that same media is currently renovating the reputations of some of those names in the news that they used to uniformly deplore.

Pre-Trump, national security institutions like the FBI and CIA were widely considered not to be trusted. This scarcely requires elaboration. Yet since Trump found himself in the Oval Office, those institutions have been recast as honourable truth-tellers.

What’s also being recast is the toxic legacy of the Bush family. CNN has an ongoing Bush rehabilitation series that works overtime to show the war criminals in a favourable light. Here’s today’s effort.

From where I’m watching, it looks like the apostles of American Exceptionalism are singing out of the same hymnal, whether their name is Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Obama, or Trump.

The names may change, but the song remains the same.
