I start to belive its all part of the plan. I was confused that he called so many deep state ppl in his admin.
Now I belive he did it on purpose to give the cabale the feeling they might be able to control Trump and to win, while POTUS worked on his plan in secrecy with very few elected ppl, not even letting admin staff know who are in positions that are normally very close to POTUS.
Now POTUS goes in 'war' modus, slim admin, like minded ppl, …. I guess we will see more….
