John Harris: “For years, President Donald Trump and his allies have warned about his adversaries in the ‘Deep State.’ The phrase evokes images of anonymous officials with hidden motives buried deep in the government.”
“Recent days have made it clearer than ever that the real hazard to Trump is actually the Shallow State. The people saying mean things about Trump aren’t lurking in the shadows. They are well-known names whom Trump recruited to work by his side. Their motives aren’t mysterious. They are obvious: A transactional president encourages transactional behavior in his midst. These sources have shocking stories to tell, but no longer any genuinely surprising ones.”
