Well, if he really believes in the deep state, he should've stood up and opposed it while he was in power. I know he gave some resistance, which he was punished for. For his resistance to lockdowns and vax mandates he was punished by that entire wallpaper-gate nonsense. I can read that between the lines, but he should've stood up and said so. He shouldn't have filled his ranks with the people 'they' wanted, as they would surely topple him for going in the wrong direction.
Finally, he absolutely shouldn't have been arming that awful regime in Ukraine.
He made his bed.
