<p>I'd like to (and sometimes do) believe that Trump & Co's
apparent incompetence and general foolishness reflects a lack of
deep conspiracy ON the Right, as well as his continued survival
(not shot, poisoned, or pushed from the open door of Marine 1)
suggests there is no Deep State.</p>
<p>On the other hand, as I always ask conspiracy theorists, "what if
his presence in this role *serves* the Deep State?" </p>
<p>While many (most) conspiracists might applaud Trump's ascendency
and consider it a victory over their favorite bogeymen, I can't
see anything that would suggest that if such bogeymen actually do
exist that they wouldn't be *using* this train-wreck for their own
purposes. And is there a singular monolithic bogeyman called
"Deep State" or is it factionated into many subgroups who are
right now in their evil lair fighting over whether or when or how
to "neutralize" or "liquidate" Agent Orange? In this parallel
universe, how many times has one agent of the deep state
interfered with the Sniper in the Clocktower... Spy vs Spy style?<br>
</p>
<p>The *left-wing* CS types who are sure he's in Putin's pocket
don't seem to recognize that Putin (and many others with less
profile) might be using Trump (and others with less profile) as
blunt instruments... just softening us up by stirring us up...
with little if any regard for the specific puppeteering often
attributed to them? While Trump's attempted withdrawal of troops
from Syria *might* have been a response to direct Putin-Whispering
or Erdogan-Whispering, it might have just been a whim based on his
motivated but under-informed style of isolationism.</p>
