Trump vs Deep State

https://scheerpost.com/2025/02/17/patrick-lawrence-trump-vs-the-deep-state/ "Let me put it this way: In the case of Trump vs. the deep state, there is promise in the undertaking, but I have my doubts. He does not seem to me to have the gravitas, the depth of intelligence and all-around seriousness, to get this very necessary task done well and effectively. Engaging the deep state is not the same as sitting opposite a rival property developer at a mahogany table in Manhattan. Trump does not seem sufficiently equipped to wage war against operatives whose perverse savvy in the methods of subterfuge is well-tested and well-proven."
