Donald Trump and 'the deep-state'

The Mueller investigation into possible Russian collusion during the 2016 US election is ongoing.

But now, the idea that it’s being controlled by a so-called ‘deep state’ has become mainstream.

Once the preserve of conspiracy theorists, President Trump has said he is a victim of ‘unelected deep state operatives’.

Amanda Walker looks at how the ‘deep state’ theory is entering mainstream politics.

That's why they didn't want him inn, they can not control him like the others.✌

The most shocking part of this story is that the media thinks we believe a damn word they are saying.

[Vivldi]

before I was also very critical of Trump. Now I think he is the only one who can safe us

[croqsieur]

That’s why they just tried to take him out. But they MISSED 🫵😂🤡

The Russian thing has been one of the most least likely conspiracy theories I’ve ever heard

I was no trump fan but due to this I am

*_Michael Haden, former CIA chief, is the very reason why we should be concerned about the deep state. It is not for Haden to question what American foreign policies should be, after all, he was but a Federal employee whose duty it is to follow the law and to protect the constitution, not to interpret what he thinks American foreign policy should, or should not be. Period._*

Not just deep; it's on the surface too and blatant!

[rosier]

We've been lied for so many years.

If I can vote I must vote for Trump… he is the last hope to save the free world! Please don‘t be deceived…

denial of certain historical events is punishable here in Germany. How is that with the denial of the deep state in America?

[treymckee]

How crazy. 1 year later and look at what is coming to I hope Trump can save the USA

The USA has been monopolistic oligarchy since 1871, when the republic was replaced with a corporation owned by the European banksters who were reorganizing, in bankruptcy, the US civil war debts. The free market and the freeman died that year.

Anyone who denies the cabal should read the book Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars.

[MultiMoodGamer]

It's not a conspiracy theory, it's a fact

[garyr]

Motivated patriots will be going after some of them.

[KurtBoulter]

Once again, Sky News bats for those who are against the peoples vote, and for those who are unelected, those who actually run the day to day mechanics of governments around the world.

The blood of Jesus protect Donald Trump by your mercy oh God

Former CIA Chief Michael Hayden, "My greatest concern is that the most destabilizing force in the world today is the United States of America." Crazy quote coming from someone who I assume, at some point, swore an oath to protect and defend this country against all enemies, both foreign and domestic.
