A Palestinian-American briefly interviewed by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's TV news channel about ten days ago said she was actually going to cast her ballot for Trump this election instead of her usual vote for the Democratic candidate. Why exactly, she didn’t specify, other than the obvious Biden/Harris administration’s unconditional arming of Israel’s mind-bogglingly massive starvation, sickening and slaughter of Palestinian non-combatants over the last year.
However, it’s likely also due to the Democrats’ neo or phony liberalism on this great-human-disaster issue: they should be well above Trump's unconditionally pro-Israel foreign policy. Recall, for example, that he even appointed his Jewish son-in-law, Jared Kushner, to head his administration’s Israel-Palestine portfolio.
But the Democrats are not much or not at all above Trump’s as well as the Republican party’s transparent, very-long-standing thus expected unconditional political and military-arms support of Israel. In their phoniness, at least on this issue, the Democrats want to both have and eat their cake by expecting the political support of pro-Palestinian and anti-war Arab-, Muslim- and Palestinian-Americans.
Incredibly, many faithful followers of Donald [Gimme’a B--- J--] Trump still claim he's a genius robbed of full presidential glory and that he challenges the Deep State. And then there's “the swamp” that Trump still claims he'll drain if re-elected — although he himself was and will again be a part of it.
But since the Trump administration kowtowed to big fossil fuel, mostly via the recklessly significant loosening of environmental protections, he, far from genuinely trying to “drain the swamp”, actually wallowed in it.
A revelatory review (by Geoff Olson, 01/10/2018) of the book The American Deep State: Wall Street, Big Oil and the Attack on U.S. Democracy notes that the book's author describes big oil CEOs and lobbyists in the U.S. as being a notably large part of the American Deep State. Therefore, it would be a large part of the national Capitol’s swamp that Trump claims has corrupted D.C. and, ergo, was supposedly seeking to destroy him and his presidency.

“This notion of a supranational deep state does not seem to be far-fetched to me, though I remain agnostic about rumors involving the [Trump administration's] Offal Office. I certainly don’t buy the alt-right notion that Trump is playing 'four-dimensional chess' against the deep state. The six-time bankruptee would probably lose at checkers to a nine-year old and tweet that he whipped Garry Kasparov.” (Geoff Olson, “A Deep State of Confusion”)
