“So What do you believe about Trump. Do you think he is part of the crooked deep state?”
Almost noone here thinks that about Trump. That argument is a straw man — fighting against a position your opponent has not taken.
A president’s powers are limited. He can’t just snap his fingers and straighten out the deep state. The deep state has spent about 90 years consolidating itself, accumulating power, and filling itself with cronies who will fight to the death against any curtailment of the money and power that go with being one of the in-crowd.
And it’s deeply frustrating to see the deep state again perpetrating injustice and illegal activity and repeatedly skating for doing so. This is nothing new.
Of course Trump has a plan. But he has limited powers and limited time. Whether he succeeds is blowin’ in the wind. Whatever I can do to help him, I will.
No straw argument. I was asking how Trumps actions/inaction’s could be explained.
Your position is that he is incompetent due to helplessness. I don’t really believe that Trump is willing to be such a person.
