It’s far worse than that. The entire bureaucracy is allied against what Trump represents.
Franklin was prescient. A republic if we can keep it.
Exactly. It’s why you just have to chuckle when the “Trump can declass everything” crowd start tantruming. Trump may be POTUS but he is certainly not in control of the vast majority of the executive branch. Even his own staff/cabinet for that matter. McGahn, Kelly, Mattis, McMaster, etc. were all insubordinate and/or refused direction. Yet Trump endures. Only a towering historic figure could resist such forces arrayed against him.
