ur out on every issue" thing.
Of course trump is massively supportive of the military - he's a NATIONALIST.
Nobody is claiming Trump is contra-indicated to every aspect of the deep state; that's silly.
The deep state is happy when POTUS is a comfy establishment regular who won't push the idiot citizens to question anything - like "why is the fed gvmt so massive?"
"why is everything a secret?"
This isn't about Trump for the love of god. The only person here obsessed with Trump is you.
Trump isn't a champion of conquering the deep state - he's a populist Nationalist POTUS who discovered there is a massive, entrenched power system in the US gvmt and they don't give up power to guys like him easily.
You're making the classic mistakes of
a) thinking people believe Trump is INTENTIONALLY or PLANFULLY taking on the deep state. He isn't. he ran into it face-first.
b) thinking anyone talking about the deep state is doing so because they revere Trump. Trump is an oafish, classless, liberal clown who resonated with people who are sick of DC never ever changing - regardless of which of the two liberal, interventionist parties are in power.
Stop thinking in terms of Trump and party and take 3 steps back and look at the INSTITUTIONAL reaction to Trump rather than just the PARTISAN reaction.
