It's week #2, in term #2 for president Donald Trump, and one of the top priorities going in - deconstructing the 'deep state'. But is it really possible?
"President Trump's election back in to the White House has been a really good sign that we'll be able to clean things up here" said political commentator Terry Schilling, president of the American Principle's Project.
It's a great sign, but draining the swamp is not going to be easy.
"The biggest hurdle against the deep state is that they are essentially accountable to no one" Schilling told KTRH, "And it's time that congress and president Trump remind them that they do work for the American people."
The problem is, they haven't worked for the American people in years, and that's why many experts are concerned that the 'deep state' is too entrenched now.
"It'll take awhile to start to really deconstruct them in meaningful ways, but president Trump overcame all of their efforts to get him out of power, to bankrupt him and imprison him even" noted Schilling, "And so we just need to keep the ball rolling here, and bring in some much needed reforms to get these agencies back under control."
That is what's at stake here in Trump's second term, and the future of our nation depends on it.
