    presidents actually have immense amounts of power (on paper) regarding treaties, alliances, war and foreign policy

      I also remember during the Trump term a bunch of articles with titles like "the brave people on Trump's cabinet who ignore his stupid ideas."

      Clearly it's far from total control since Trump still tore up the Iran deal and raised tensions in Israel, Korea and elsewhere, but I believe the deep state will defend NATO from him if they have to.

        Nothing I would love to see more than a chud civil war between the Nat Sec deep state types and the Trump hogs. Heighten those contradictions baby

          That civil war would be over in five minutes, it would just be Jan 6 on a bigger scale. A bunch of Trumpers dressed up like Vikings would get drone striked.

      The CIA also has immense amounts of power in staging an assassinations of presidents.
