Brother, you are looking for the deep state under every rock and it is out in the sunshine, smiling at you.
You’re talking about Trump who is publicly demanding certain people be prosecuted, so point 1 is wildly invalid.
Point 2 is highly debatable, and the mass cruelty of the current administration is considered by many to be worse than what it’s replacing. It’s certainly a stretch to call that corruption.
Point 3: again, with Trump you’re talking about a 79 year old man who can’t stay awake through a recorded meeting.
Point 4: there’s nothing, nothing in 21st or 20th century U.S. presidential politics compared to the vast sums of money being directed into Trump’s family pockets.
They would start to pardon criminals that conducted acts they like and fire the people that investigated those crimes.
