Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump ran as an outcast. He promised to \u2018drain,\u2019 not to perpetuate, the swamp. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No one in Washington called Donald J. Trump a \u201cgod\u201d (as journalist Evan Thomas in 2009 had suggested of Obama) when he arrived in January 2017. No one felt nerve impulses in his leg when Trump talked, as journalist Chris Matthews once remarked had happened to him after hearing an Obama speech. And no newsman or pundit cared how crisply creased were Trump\u2019s pants, at least in the manner that New York Times columnist David Brooks had once praised Obama\u2019s sartorial preciseness. Instead, Trump was greeted by the Washington media and intellectual establishment as if he were the first beast in the book of Revelation, who arose \u201cout of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name <\/em>of blasphemy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides the Washington press and pundit corps, Donald Trump faced this third and more formidable opponent: the culture of permanent and senior employees of the federal and state governments, and the political appointees in Washington who revolve in and out from business, think tanks, lobbying firms, universities, and the media. Or as the legal scholar of the administrative state Philip Hamburger put it: \u201cAlthough the United States remains a republic, administrative power creates within it a very different sort of government. The result is a state within the state \u2014 an administrative state within the Constitution\u2019s United States.\u201d The power of the deep state was twofold: it had the unlimited resources of government at its call in any fight against individuals. And it knew how government worked and could be manipulated far better than the citizens whom it supp<\/em>osedly for a brief time served. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
