The hidden government, or Who runs the United States?

Abstract

The situation in the United States after Trump's victory raises questions about the independence of American presidents and calls into question the claim that the country's model of life should be taken as a model. Is America truly a democracy where a president elected by the people carries out his will within the current Constitution? The article analyzes the current political and economic situation in the United States and concludes that there is a "deep state" that is trying to seize control of the country from the president-elect. The preconditions for the emergence of a "deep state" that exists not because of a conspiratorial conspiracy, but only because at some point in history in the country's leadership there was an idea to protect the mechanism of governance from instant policy changes. It is the upper and middle strata of the civil service that set in motion the real mechanism of state power, which operates under the name of the "federal government." It is the bureaucracy that controls and often modifies the policies pursued by political leaders legally elected by the country's population. This apparatus, created to carry out the president's decisions, originally had another purpose — to limit his power and maintain a system of "restrictions and balances" of government.
