RE: Has Trump been trumped by the Deep State?
He has been trumped or he merely made the swamp his? My hopes were very low but I still had some; now I have none. I mean, he did name a fan of civil asset forfeiture as attorney general
I do think that argument can be made that Trump is serious, I'm not sure of that myself, but I usually post as if that were the case
It is very easy for a people to get so wearied of being lied to that they give up hope.
I hope that if enough of us are loud about demanding that Trump keep that promise of DRAIN THE SWAMP, that it might have some effect on people in powerful positions who are not Deep State themselves
Just look at how he cozied up with the Democrats recently. And how he has gone neocon in less than 6 months.
Let's see how his deregulation scheme goes. That's probably the last hope of change that remains
one of the theories I've heard bandied about is that Trump wants people to vote in new congresscritters who will be more responive to the wishes of the populace...
the problem with that as a stratrgy is that new critters will be bought off as fast as the old ones were, and that there will be no punishment for the traitors.
w/o punishment, they will continue the corruption
but again, that aasumes Trump is serious
@Pgveer I do believe that Trump is focused on cleaning up the Swamp, but to do that he had to cede foreign policy back to 'the grownups' and that means Israel, the MIC and the neocons... or do I repeat myself?
I still expect (per my many posts on the subject) that he's getting ready to bodyslam the DNC over the Russia narrative/hack/bullshit. That's all lining up if you look really carefully, and most people aren't.
But, as far as the foreign policy is concerned, we're headed towards a very ugly few years as the geopolitical order rearranges itself and Trump's team is completely outfoxed by Putin and Jinping.
Of course he's winning when it comes to Russia. The "proof" of the direct involvment in slimmer than a sheet of pure gold. However, depending on how the healthcare debate goes, one house could easily turn blue.
