I see it that way: Soros&Co have been controlling the country since Bill Clinton became a president (at least). With Obama it became just obvious. Soros and his Deep State buddies were absolutely sure they would by all means push Hillary, their next loyal puppet, into WH and consolidate their power probably for good.
And here came Trump and started (oh, horror!) talking the truth to the people, destroying all political correctness and lies, which American society has been hobbled with. And people suddenly liked it. It was like a dawn after long, dark, foggy polar night.
I'm sure Deep State was absolutely unprepared for Hillary loss and now they basically have no idea what to do with Trump (who is going to destroy their plans and thus waste a lot of money they've already spent ). That's why we are seeing all those convulsions of Deep State: "investigations", fake stories, etc.
