President Trump wrote (Mar 15, 2019):
"New evidence that the Obama era team of the FBI, DOJ & CIA were working together to Spy on (and take out) President Trump, all the way back in 2015."
The Grayzone did corroborate this timeline. This was indeed a "deep state" effort to smear and derail a presidential bid.
The President of the United States warns of the threat the deep state and corporate media pose to democracy
Trump declared: "Unelected deep state operatives who defy the voters to push their own secret agendas are truly a threat to democracy itself" (September 6, 2018).
The United States president warned of the power this media has over the US political system:
"THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA IS THE REAL OPPOSITION PARTY!"
As if to prove his point, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram have blocked the President of the United States.
Trump, the first US president to meet with a North Korean leader, the first to step inside North Korea
The president defused historic US government hostility with North Korea, although the US still refuses to sign a Korean War peace treaty. President Trump not only was the first US president to meet with a North Korean leader of state, but, unlike his predecessors, Trump displayed respect for its leader, Kim Jong Un. These sensible moves towards peace and understanding, unprecedented for a US president, caused much animosity among Democrats and Republicans alike.
In a presidential debate, Trump defended his actions:
"We have a good relationship with North Korea, we're not in a war. Having a good relationship with leaders of other countries is a good thing." (October 22, 2020)
