President Trump promised
on the campaign trail to drain the swamp in Washington. Yet it’s likely that
even he at that time did not realize how deep and muddy that swamp really was.
The creatures that reside within this swamp, career politicians who will stop
at nothing to preserve the status quo, have been there for a long time now.
However, Trump’s
Presidency has brought many of them out into the open, as they’ve been simply
unable to stay hidden and silent while Trump works to destroy their power.
Dragging the deep state
out into the light is nothing short of a victory for President Trump, but it’s
also presented us with a concerning reality. The more bad actors that come out
of hiding in Washington, the more we are left to wonder just how deep the deep
state really is.
When the New York Times published an op-ed written by an
anonymous senior official supposedly within the inner circle of the Trump
administration criticizing the President and describing an active resistance
against him, we were reminded yet again how far up the deep state really goes.
Following that op-ed,
even more members of the so-called “resistance” came out into the open, though
– at least in the sense that they made their existence known, if not their identity.
Just days after the
piece was published, a second, anonymous senior official within the Trump
administrations told Axios, “I
find the reaction to the NYT op-ed fascinating that people seem
so shocked that there is a resistance from the inside…I hope he [President
Trump] knows — maybe he does? — that there are dozens and dozens of us.”
At one time, the idea
that dozens of senior officials within the White House were actively conspiring
and working against the President would have made for a rather outlandish
conspiracy theory. Today, though, it’s openly embraced – and celebrated by some
– as our new political reality.
Of course, the deep
state doesn’t just exist within the White House. We’ve already seen that both
the FBI, CIA, and DOJ have been deeply infiltrated by highly partisan officials
who have placed their desire to stop President Trump above both the demands of
their position and their duties to their country. Lisa Page, Peter Strzok, and
James Comey are just a few of the high-up FBI officials who come to mind when
you think of the deep state existing within the FBI.
Meanwhile, the CIA has
been caught red-handed surveilling President Trump, and the Obama DOJ colluded
with the FBI during the 2016 election in order to try and secure Hillary Clinton’s victory. Of course, most of these
officials are now gone, victims of Trump successfully draining the swamp, but
revelations such as those found in the New York Times and Axios op-eds leave us to wonder just how many of them remain.
When you consider the
fact that the mainstream media is actively working against President Trump and
colluding with these bad actors within the White House, FBI, DOJ, and CIA at
every chance they get, the deep state grows even deeper. Today, news
organizations and publications that were once some of the most respected and
trustworthy media outlets in the entire world have sold their soul to the
Democratic Party.
Presenting Americans
with the truth has become a far less important priority than promoting a
liberal agenda and opposing President Trump. In shirking the responsibilities
of the fourth estate, many of those within the mainstream media have become a
part of the deep state that in a better world they would be working to oust.
So just how deep is the
deep state? The answer is that it is very deep. Frighteningly deep. President
Trump may not be alone in his effort to drain the swamp and eliminate the deep state from
Washington, but he’s certainly outnumbered.
The number of people
that the President is able to trust absolutely are few and far between, and
they grow fewer and farther between with every revelation that yet another
leaker or another member of the “resistance” is hiding within the White House.
Yet, in spite of all
this, President Trump tweeted out on September 5, “I’m draining the Swamp, and
the Swamp is trying to fight back. Don’t worry, we will win!” For the good of
the nation, we hope he’s right.~ American Liberty Report
