Trump U-turn - Defies the Deep State, Engages in Epic Battle to Drain the Swamp and Avoid Nixon's Fate

President Trump must accomplish three things (with reasons included) to be a successful president:
1. Prevent a world war: Billions would die so no rational person wants that
2. End the FED: Outlined in earlier post: Donald Trump Will End The FED And Move US Toward The Gold Standard – January 2, 2017
3. Fight corruption in government and 'drain the swamp': Outlined in earlier post: President Trump Will Drain The Swamp (or die trying) – February 13, 2017

I believe he will be successful on all fronts. Note: This is all dependent on the American people (not the useless mainstream media) to apply continuous pressure on his administration to achieve these results.

Over the past month, President Trump embarked on a shift in strategy where he effectively joined the deep state to consolidate support and deal with the North Korean issue.
I covered this shift here:

So, after realizing the absolute hopelessness of compromise with the deep state, President Trump has appeared to make an effective u-turn to restart the fight against it. Note: The deep state does not want good relations with Russia.

First, he fires FBI Directory James Comey. Then, in a clear act of defiance towards the deep state, he meets with the Russian Foreign Minister. I guess the president really does not care who calls him a Russian agent.

I really like Dr. Ron Paul's idea - hopefully one step at a time:
Comey Fired...Now Fire The FBI! - Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity, May 10, 2017

Any time the mainstream media disapproves of the president's actions, he must be doing something right - think of it as an inverse relationship.

He is in good company as some would have called President Lincoln a Russian agent!!

Shortly thereafter, President Trump met with Henry Kissinger - highly connected member of the deep state:

Was there a deal cut or did he give Kissinger an order? We'll find out soon.

In case you are in the dark about this deep state...here is a brief definition.
What Is the 'Deep State'—And Why Is It After Trump? - Atlternet, February 16, 2017

The Deep State is shorthand for the nexus of secretive intelligence agencies whose leaders and policies are not much affected by changes in the White House or the Congress. While definitions vary, the Deep State includes the CIA, NSA, Defense Intelligence Agency, and components of the State Department, Justice Department, Department of Homeland Security, and the armed forces.

In addition, the deep state includes former government officials (like Kissinger) who still exercise influence in policy.

Laughably, some publications refuse to accept the existence of the deep state:
There Is No Deep State - The New Yorker, March 20, 2017

But I just posted how numerous discredited mainstream media outlets have come around to acknowledge its existence (see comments section as well):
MSM Acknowledges Existence of Deep State - February 3, 2017

This article makes an interesting comparison between President Trump and President Kennedy:
Trump, JFK, and the Deep State - The Unz Review, March 14, 2017

Even better, Patrick Buchanan has an informative comparison of President Trump and President Nixon that adds perspective:
Nixon and Trump, Then and Now - Townhall, May 9, 2017
Mr. Buchanan ends his article:

The same deep state enemies await a similar opening to do to Trump what they did to Nixon. Rely upon it.

So, is Mr. Buchanan implying that Watergate was a deep state conspiracy? I don't know, but Russ Baker has a good analysis on the matter. (Why are the Bushes always involved in these things???)

Here is some proof of the Nixon - Bush connection:

For insight into the infamous recordings made during President Nixon's term:

Nixon, Watergate, and the JFK assassination - Baltimore Post-Examiner, July 2, 2012

At one point, Nixon says, “When you get these people, when you get these people in, say, ‘Look, the problem is that this will open the whole Bay of Pigs thing  …”

At another point in the same conversation, Nixon says, “this is a Hunt, you will – that will uncover a lot of things. You open that scab and there’s a hell of a lot of things that we just feel that it would be very detrimental to have this going further.”

Hunt was E. Howard Hunt, a longtime CIA operative and one of the Watergate burglars.

In his memoir, Haldeman wrote that he believed “Bay of Pigs” was Nixon’s coded way of referring to the JFK assassination.

Bay of Pigs – the botched invasion by CIA-trained Cuban exiles – occurred on April 17, 1961, during JFK’s first few months in office. It was a plan JFK had inherited from the Eisenhower administration.

President Nixon faced impeachment and was completely isolated at the time he resigned from office. He never revealed what he really knew to the public. The situation today is completely different. As a political outsider, President Trump has no need to protect anyone in the deep state. Any move to impeach or remove the president from office via the 25th amendment would further expose the deep state and enhance the president's stature.

Since even Politico knows that the discredited CIA lied about the JFK assassination:
Yes, the CIA Director Was Part of the JFK Assassination Cover-Up - Politico, October 6, 2015

President Trump can start the process by first releasing the files:
