I guess the truth is that we really don't know. they probably trust some presidents more than others. I imagine Bush knew more than Trump that's for sure

I think they do have that access but that deep state is there to step in and run the machinery of the President is too much of a fuck up. People were genuinely concerned about Trump winning until it became obvious he didn’t give a fuck about running the country so the machine could keep plucking away like he was any other President
