One guy's "Deep State" is another guys "let's protect all people regardless of their ethnicity/politics/genetics/religious faith". In a country (the US) where the executive can be elected by a minority of the population, having bureaucratic guardrails seems to be a good thing.

Neither Obama nor Trump had any experience managing a very large organization and it showed. Both thought they could just snap their fingers, sign an executive order, and it would just get done. I do not think people appreciate how hard it is to get a given thing done across a large (100,000 people+) organization even when everyone claims to be aligned, everyone speaks the same language, and at the surface there is zero reason to believe anyone would act maliciously to prevent whatever "good thing" it is you want to accomplish getting accomplished. And no one, no where, is ever 100% aligned with whatever the dear leader/CEO/czar/caesar/chairman wants to accomplish.
