For the most part, when you interact in a shady way with local and state governments, its simple corruption. The actions outside of that interaction won't typically involve out of state benefit, as state and local governments don't have much authority.
Thus, there isn't much meat on the bone to fund a "deep state" on anything other than a national level.
I have the same answer for both of you. I was answering how Trump's victory could have happened in conjunction with the deep state's existence. I gave an answer that I believe could be true.

The theory presented in that video is that the cheating in an election is capped at a certain percentage of the vote so that it doesn't seem too fake. For example, Hillary Clinton may have been automatically given 5% more of the vote than she actually earned. That would have meant that Trump would have had to beat her by over 5% of the vote to win the election.
The theory is that he did that.
That's how Trump could have beaten the deep state or whomever tried to rig the election.
It's no different than how referees can try to rig a sporting event for a particular team, but that team can still lose. I think I've seen that happen.

Which is it you guys?? You can't have it both ways & many have claimed Trump doesn't do his own tweeting.
Either Trump tweets all on his own, and we can then debate the meaning as they directly reflect his thoughts....or he has someone or multiple others tweeting for him, and not necessarily with his direction and/or knowledge, and we can't debate because the tweet may not be his.
Otherwise, it's anyone's guess as to whose thoughts you're attempting to attach definitive meaning.
Good luck!

Why is he still going after his opponent fourteen months after the election?
What does he mean by pictures of sailors and Huma Abedin giving secret pass words to foreign agents? The words deep state is what has you up in arms?
The whole thing is a crazy rant.

It means they locked up a sailor for taking an innocent photo while on a submarine for a family member, but Huma never got arrested for doing a million times worse with classified material and State secrets.
He uses Depp State to mock the petrified DOJ for not doing their job.
The whole tweet was brilliant.

Trump has claimed many things.
He claimed he would be going back to work straight after Christmas, and then spent day after day on the golf course.
