I'm not all knowing but given that, I have seen evidence that DJT considered a run for POTUS in 2000. He considered it not time as the cancer within .gov could not be delineated. I couldn't provide where I discovered this so we will just leave that as a rumor. DJT has for the last 40 years, developed one of the most sophisticated private intelligence operations on the planet. DJT has his own security team as well for just as long. Remember early in his Presidency the battle that DJT wanted to use his own security and no USSS. The outcome of that never became public but given it is DJT, I'm sure he got his way. DJT has rubbed elbows with the scum of the earth and every level of dirtbag known to the planet. While everyone else was getting drunk and yakking up there plans at paties , sober DJT just smiled and nodded his head, cataloging everything and every one. DJT has never even had a beer, due to his brothers death from alcoholism. How stupidly loose lipped does one get when drunk? There is NO way he would walk away from the crimes committed by these people even if they had faded away. DJT's mantra has always been, hit me and I will crush you. DJT loves America and its values. They hit him by trying to destroy the America that DJT loves and he is going to retaliate 100 times back.  They know this and they could not 'fade away'. The Dark Forces suspected/knew or out of spite he would come for them as they are what are destroying the USA that DJT loves. The Dark Forces have worked 50 years to get the USA to a weakened point that they could destroy it and bring in the NWO to subdue all of the USA. DJT showed them from the beginning that he would dismantle, with his Military Allies, the plans they had to destroy the USA.  When I say Dark Forces, it isn't the Deep State although we speak of them equally. The Deep State answers to the Dark Forces. There is a large difference between the two and while skirmishes with the DS are vitally important to taking out the Dark Forces, Battles with the DF must also continue on a Parallel tract. Nobody escapes what awaits them. Sure, there are different levels of punishment for those that co operate but nobody gets a pass, nobody. Watch the coming destruction of Paul Ryan. He got a deal to get out and do right but the Dark Forces have dirt on him so he has to go against the deal he got. He'll end up in Gitmo is my prediction. Edit: I must add that he DS is the Bureaucracy that inhabits the governmental agencies. These are run on both the inside and the outside (supervisors and managers) by individuals selected by the treasonous Obamma and Bush administrations over the last 16 years and they are deeply embedded. Yes, Bush W is involved in this treasonous downfall of the USA. They were under the command of the Dark Forces. It would take a friggin book to outline it all so believe or do not. Just keep it in mind and make your own conclusions.  There was never a "fade away" opportunity for the DS or DF. It is fight to the death.
