Trump was clueless about the power of the Uniparty in 2017. He unknowingly allowed it to infiltrate and to control much of his administration.

INACCURATE. Trump was no more clueless about the power to the Uniparty than were the vast majority of voters, including those employed throughout the Federal government. And despite the Uniparty’s attempts to control much of his administration he still managed to accomplish a great deal that was beneficial for the country.
One thing the Trump administration did do was to force the DS to completely expose itself. I was as surprised as anyone regarding the depth of the swamp. I don’t think anyone realized at the time just how bad things are. Trump’s biggest mistake was to accept the advice of the unipartyists in his administration that he could not fire Barr, Wray or Fauci. Another unit on the impeachment/coup assembly line would not have mattered. Also, he could have replaced them without McConnell support via acting replacements. When Trump installed Richard Grenell as “acting” DNI, the solution was found. McConnell couldn’t get John Ratcliffe confirmed quick enough. Ratcliffe, who previously couldn’t even get a hearing out of China Mitch. It’d be different this time around.
