A hotel man should know this
At first Trump showed signs of comprehending the Deepstate problem. He kicked out a few major neocons in the State Dept. After that one act he stopped doing the right thing and allowed Deepstate to run over him.
You'd think a hotel magnate would know that you need to clean the room before checking in a new guest.
What's the problem? Three alternate hypotheses.
(1) Trump is locked into business thinking. Corporations have back-stabbing bureaucrats, but in that environment the bureaucrats confine their disloyalty to internecine battles. In government the bureaucrats have a PERMANENT MISSION. They know they can outlast and overpower mere Presidents.
(2) Trump thinks he can govern by blogging. He thinks that his casual offhand comments on the passing scene will be enough to shame the bureaucrats into abandoning Satan.
(3) Trump is just another false flag, designed to bring out the Deplorables so we can be shot more efficiently.
I still don't know which is true.
There is a classic solution to bad bureaucrats. You can't fire them but you can empty-desk them. Pay them to work a full day doing nothing, and monitor them during off-hours to be sure they aren't getting together and fomenting rebellion. Since their "work" is solid evil, there's no need to redund the bad bureaucrat with a parallel good employee. The world is better off when the "work" isn't done. Most Federal agencies and departments should be totally empty-desked.
(I wrote some of this as a comment at Unz, then expanded it here.)
