Has Trump been trumped by the Deep State?

Take a moment to read this post:
The OODA loop of Trump's Insurgency has been Smashed

Here are the pertinent points of the article:

  • Trump got elected as a rallying point of everyone who hates the status quo; Robb (the writer) describes this as an insurgency

the real uniting goal of Trump's insurgency was "opposition to a failed establishment"

  • the Ministry of Truth (the media) kept this insurgency alive with it's propaganda supporting the Establishment

The media is the voice of establishment interests (social, economic, and national security)... It also explained away failure after failure... of the US establishment, as if it never occurred.

  • The generals in Trump's admin have staged a successful counter-insurgency by controlling access to information

(if only they were half as good against real world insurgencies)

by controlling Trump's information flow with social media/networks, the generals smashed the insurgency's OODA loop (observe, orient, decide, act). Deprived of this connection, Trump is now weathervaning to cater to the needs of the establishment

  • Robb predicts that this will lead to Trump's loss of support

Trump's popularity will plunge into the 20's as he mainstreams -- large segments of the insurgency will walk away permanently and those who have opposed him will continue to oppose him (he won't get any credit for mainstreaming). At support in the mid twenties, the stranglehold that the insurgency has on Republican Congressman will end (impeachment/removal?)

My take

I had high hopes for the generals that Trump brought into the administration; Flynn, Mattis, Kelly. I also had high hopes for Sessions as Attorney General.

I have seen none of that hope borne out as of yet

  • Clinton remains prosecuted for "mishandling" classified data
  • Comey remains prosecuted for conflict of interest and perjury
  • There is not a Special investigation into the Clinton corruption ring, DNC-media collusion, or DNC election fraud
  • There is not a Special investigation into any Obama administration illegality
  • Deep State hack Mueller is still running an investigation into the false "Russian" conspiracy as a Special Investigator
  • The sanctuary city politicians and burrocrats remain a Shadow Government for 8 USC 1324 violations
  • Mattis has retained "global warming" and "sexual identity" policies harmful to military efficiency
  • There has been no pushback to judicial overreach on immigration policy
  • The Corker deal is still in place
  • Flynn, and every other security expert that recognized Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of the government, has been purged
  • The NSC and the DOJ remain full of Obama appointees

There are arguments that Trump needs time to build his own networks, gather evidence, and to "prep the battlefield" for his own actions.

Maybe so. I have seen no evidence that he is doing so. It is possible that he has been building a Shadow Government of his own. If he is doing this, a sudden rollup of everyone in the reason/corruption network would be his end game. I have seen no evidence him building a Shadow Government, either...but if he has been successful at doing it, then I wouldn't.

In the Shadow Government scenario, Trump's senior advisors and officials would engage in misdirection and suggest they were kowtowing to Deep State interests.

We shall see.

What do you think?
