Trump needs to feel he is surrounded by snitches and rats and can trust no one! Best thing for him IMO.

(6,911 posts)Ill take an American deep state over a murderous Russian deep state any day of the fuc*ing week.
But bureaucracy isnt a deep state as Putin & Pal are promoting. American government bureaucracy is the glue that holds together the government when fly-by-night political fads like Trump try to destroy it.
We definitely dont want a government that is all glue. But a government with no glue is chaos-by-design.
