Inside the Beltway, deep staters are suffering from a severe case of shell shock. Never before in modern history has an incoming administration conducted such a successful offensive against the uniparty oligarchy that has seized control of our nation’s democratic institutions over the last half century.

Unused to having their authority challenged, they are now lashing out to attack the most populist president of our lifetimes as an authoritarian who threatens democratic norms.

The irony is overwhelming.
