fwiw- Here's a comment I posted elsewhere, but it addresses why Trump was surrounded by so many swamp rats:
I think there's a serious limit to what any one person can do as President--all or almost all cabinet positions and more have to get Senate approval and the Senate is basically a swamp, except for a few. I did a lot of reading over …

I think there's a serious limit to what any one person can do as President--all or almost all cabinet positions and more have to get Senate approval and the Senate is basically a swamp, except for a few. I did a lot of reading over at conservativetreehouse during the Trump years, just to get a better understanding of behind-the-scenes GOP politics. And the guy who operates that site "Sundance" basically explained that Mitch McConnell had much more power than people realize. Though we are taught that the President gets to select his cabinet, that's not really how it works. Even if Trump had a great non-swamp nominee (e.g. Catherine Austin Fitts for Treasury), then Mitch McConnell would simply say, nope, there's no way I can get her approved, but here's a list of people I can approve (all deep state swamp rats). So that's why he was mostly surrounded by swamp (except Ben Carson and maybe a few others). There's no way that the US senate would ever approve of a non-pharma aligned Secretary of HHS. Same for DoD- there's no way the whores in the US Senate would ever allow someone who is not aligned with the MIC to be Secretary of Defense.
Also, I recall that Trump tried to get us out of Syria or to reduce troops and the Generals simply didn't listen.
So, my take on all of that is that the central bankers control the government and we are only allowed to have puppets. I think Trump tried not to be a puppet, which is why the corporate propaganda media went after him 24/7 (and fwiw, I'm not a Trump groupie, I was just really paying close attention to what was happening to see if it was possible to take the country back).
Here's a good article by Mike Whitney on how Trump tried to have his own foreign policy (nation state and not empire), but the continued pressure on him with all of the investigations caused him to slowly become more in line with the establishment (https://www.unz.com/mwhitney/tit-for-tat-why-did-mueller-let-trump-off-the-hook/ )
And here's a good article by Christian Parenti (son of the great Professor Michael Parenti) on Trump going against the empire: https://compactmag.com/article/trump-s-real-crime-is-opposing-empire "At every turn, Trump’s foreign-policy staff sabotaged his efforts. On two occasions, a top economic adviser stole documents while they were awaiting a presidential signature; one would have destroyed a trade agreement with South Korea, the other would have simply killed NAFTA. When Trump ordered the withdrawal of troops from Germany and South Korea, his defense secretary, Mark Esper, worked diligently to redeploy many of these personnel within the same theater. Such internal opposition limited Trump’s moves and helped the press play down the importance of Trump’s anti-imperial foreign policy."
I think the position of President has power when the President is being an obedient puppet--then a lot gets done. But if they are not a puppet and are trying to take the nation back, then they will be blocked and sabotaged, even by their own party (e.g. for Trump, his own party started the investigations into the Russia Hoax, and his own party in the House resigned from their positions to throw control of the House to the Dems and open the door to impeachment).
We basically have a two-party dictatorship/uniparty. I think the central bankers divide their agenda into two lists, A and B. They give the GOP list A, and the Dems list B, so whoever is in power, their agenda always moves forward.
And if you don't know about the international bankers and how they took over America with the Federal Reserve Act in 1913, please watch:
Bill Still's The Money Masters
Aaron Russo's America Freedom to Fascism (banker takeover and illegal income tax)
Mike Rivero's All Wars Are Bankers Wars
IMO both parties are captured by the banking cartel and oligarchs (see Mike Whitney's The Plot to Wreck America unz.com). We need a new party that wants to End the Fed, says NO to CBDCs, NO to digital ID, NO to the Great Reset, NO to the Internet of Bodies, No to the World Enslavement Fund (WEF), NO to the WHO pandemic treaty (setting up global dictatorship right now), and gets us out of the UN and out of the WHO.
