Trump Dislikes the Term ‘Deep State’ Because ‘I’m Really Not a Conspiratorial Person’"},"content":{"rendered":"

It’s wonderful to have a president with a sharp a wit and a keen sense of humor. And maybe someday we will have such a president again. Until then we will have to get used to Donald Trump and his wacky lack of any self awareness whatsoever. He is a man that is so warped by flaming narcissism that he actually believes that he is loved by a nation where his polling is at historic lows. He even refers to himself as “Your favorite President<\/a>“<\/em><\/strong> who “did nothing wrong.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

In an interview with The Hill<\/a><\/strong>, Trump spoke glowingly about his State TV (aka Fox News) Shadow Cabinet. Referring to the network’s most sycophantic Trump-fluffers, the President fondly singled out “the great Lou Dobbs, the great Sean Hannity, the wonderful, great Jeanie Pirro.”<\/em> And you know the feelings are mutual. Trump cited them as the reason he declassified Russia-related documents<\/a><\/strong> that he didn’t even read. But you have to wonder what these conspiracy hounding crackpots will think when they find out that Trump has renounced their favorite theoretical label: the Deep State.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t like to use it,”<\/em> Trump said, “because it sounds so conspiratorial, and believe it or not I\u2019m really not a conspiratorial person.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Really? That is such a megalithic distortion of reality that it’s hard to comprehend how he can be that delusional and still get through the day without stripping naked and skipping down Pennsylvania Avenue singing “I Feel Pretty.”<\/em> Even the The Hill couldn’t let it stand without an instant fact check:<\/p>\n

“Trump may not like the term, but he has used it more than once. At a rally earlier this month, Trump used it to refer to the anonymous author of an op-ed published in The New York Times, denouncing ‘un-elected deep state operatives who defy the voters to push their own secret agendas are truly a threat to democracy itself.’ He described the ‘deep state’ as a threat to democracy in the Sept. 7 speech.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And that is just the beginning. Trump has referenced the imaginary “Deep State”<\/em> on numerous occasions. He has long been convinced that there is a secret governmental cabal that is out to get him. He rants about it incessantly. It’s a conspiracy that includes the agencies he is currently overseeing as President, including the Department of Justice, the FBI, the CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the State Department, etc. And it’s so pervasive that he can’t rely on these agencies, so he turns instead to his BFF, Vladimir Putin (who has recently been stoking the Deep State mythology<\/a><\/strong> in private phone calls with Trump). What’s more, it’s a regular feature of his Twitter feed:<\/p>\n

The Deep State and the Left, and their vehicle, the Fake News Media, are going Crazy – & they don\u2019t know what to do. The Economy is booming like never before, Jobs are at Historic Highs, soon TWO Supreme Court Justices & maybe Declassification to find Additional Corruption. Wow!<\/p>\n
