A 1994 movie, The Enemy Within, described a White House coup orchestrated by several high-level cabinet officials to remove the sitting president, replacing him with the vice president. The plot was foiled with the help of some Russians. How prescient. With a few shifts in who the villains are, this movie could be playing out today. Especially with the Russian angle.
President Trump certainly has enemies without, outside the administration and his political party. Academia is far left. Liberal professors outnumber conservatives by a 12 to 1 ratio. No question who most university professors view as the enemy. And who is educating the next generation of voters.
Hollywood and the entertainment world is no different. How many celebrities dared to campaign for or support the Donald Trump campaign? Hillary Clinton cornered that market. For confirmation, just watch late night non-funny comedy shows or any of the self-congratulatory award-fests.
Big media, the center of the spoke of the modern leftist agenda, has totally abandoned any pretense of journalistic ethics and objectivity to instead become the leading political resistance force. A recently released Harvard study found that 80 percent of Trump coverage by major media in his first 100 days was negative. Compared to only 40 percent negative for Obama during his initial days as president. Confirming conventional wisdom that the media agenda is not journalism, but instead advocacy.
Specific networks, called out accurately by Trump as being “fake news” were almost completely negative toward Trump. CNN, NBC and CBS were over 90 percent negative in their Trump coverage. Even “fair and balanced” Fox News, accused of carrying water for conservatives, was 52% negative in their coverage of Trump.

A better example would be "House of Cards". How did Frank Underwood get to be president when he was neither elected as president or vice president?
Who is the real enemy within the Trump administration?
Think Speaker of the House.
Does President Trump have any leftovers from the Obama WH staff? e.g. Federal employees? Are they protected by the union?
The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) is an American labor union representing over 670,000 employees of the federal government, about 5,000 employees of the District of Columbia, and a few hundred private sector employees, mostly in and around federal facilities.
But the fight is still very far from over. If we do prevail, and there is anyone in movies willing to celebrate getting America back; what an epic film would be needed to really capture what we are fighting through: A magnificent & gripping saga!
May our grandchildren someday enter a theatre with a single word on the Marquee: "Trump!" May that someday tell the result of the war for the American future!
Pardon my flight of fancy!

AKA “The Deep State.”
All I remember from “The Enemy Within” is that Sam Waterston was the President, seemed like a libtard President, and a Black guy stopped the ‘coup’.
I think so too, especially after watching him on Charlie Rose...last month. As I recall. The Ryan/Rose brothers were laughing about Trump with ill-concealed contempt
