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.

See other examples in our database, such as claims that groups in the shadow dictated the outcome of US presidential elections, that America is ruled by an illegitimate tyrannical regime which stole the US election in 2020, that the Deep State kept Biden in power for war with Russia, then dumped him, that Kamala Harris is a Deep State figurehead, or that Kamala Harris lost because the true masters of the US did not want to escalate the situation.
