DISINFO: US foreign policy won’t change with Trump as the Deep State is in charge
SUMMARY
US foreign policy won’t change much under Trump. Tactical changes can be expected, but the strategic course is unlikely to shift. As in other areas of decision-making, the influence of the Deep State on foreign policy remains significant.
RESPONSE
Unsubstantiated claim, whose only purpose is to promote a conspiracy theory about the US Deep State. The ultimate goal of this narrative is to undermine democratic institutions by portraying decision-making as the realm of global elites above regular citizens who would have no real power.
