Trump's MO on most every issue (possibly all issues) is to take various tentacles of the deep state cabal, put aspects front and center for us to see, so that aspect destroys itself. McCarthy, Johnson, fill in the next blank, Barr, Pence, FBI, DOJ, legal system as a whole, election system, Afghanistan, CIA, classified documents, and on and on...
Thus, DJT has a good record in this exposure. In fact, this is how the swamp is drained.
I've posted before links to a ***US Treasury gov web page*** that documents around 20 relevant swamp-draining EO's with instances of their usage to "Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List". Another page for upwards of 1,000,000 sealed and unsealed indictments. This is behind-the-scenes swamp draining corresponding to DSC outing in the news.
That would be an interesting "big picture" tactic. He has paid dearly, however, for the results and those payments will continue, if not forever at least for a while longer.
IMO, he didn't have enough of a team behind him to use such a tactic.
He remains the best chance we have, however, and we should hope his next Admin and every member of congress that wears an R provides the support he needs to actually drain the swamp.
The deep state has only grown in power, and flexed its muscles like never before, since Trump came on the scene. We made some limited progress in 2017 and 2018 while we had all three branches of government, but since then the power of those in control has gone off the scale, especially in 2020.
Maybe that will change, and I will vote for him as the only half decent option, but when he’s talking excitedly about the new FBI building, etc, I’m not expecting much to change. Just more theater, while we lose the actual fights on the proverbial battlefield.
