Trump must have been shocked to discover just how large and deep the Deep State swamp is.
I think you’re right. Its hard to be an outsider and appreciate just how vast and deep the Swamp really is. And the creatures that inhabit it are willing to do literally anything to protect it. Anyone in the DC labyrinth is not to be trusted.
As the Swamp expands so do the opportunities for corruption, fraud, waste and abuse of power. The bigger it gets the smaller the citizens become.
This ever growing and overbearing monster must be contained. If we cannot elect people who are committed to doing this the republic is lost.

I do believe that Trump had no real idea going in just what Washington D.C., the uniparty and the federal bureaucracy were. He believed they were captured by ideology and were not very bright people. He even understood that they were deeply corrupt.
But he had no idea whatsoever how maliciously evil they were. (Something that honestly amazed me, I know who these people are…I think it was obvious what they were and are…but I guess perspectives can be different). It was his greatest flaw in dealing with them and with the federal behemoth. The bottom of the well of evil there can never be found.
I strongly suspect he really gets it now.
