Sebastian Gorka resignation and the Deep State

This individual was a part of Trump's national security team.  He has just resigned.

Trump supporters should be concerned about this, as well as other recent developments.

It seems that the Deep State has taken over foreign policy of the Trump Administration.
There is some grumbling on the Instapundit blog about the Afghan policy of adding more troops there.  My impression was that it would be a quick surge and then exit.  If it changes into a perpetual war, then the trajectory of this administration has been markedly changed.  Instapundit says go big or go home.  I think this administration at this point is setting itself up to go home.

But what if the Deep State has other ideas?

Gorka is said to have favored the use of the phrase "radical Islam", which is frowned
upon by the Deep State.  If you read some of Gorka's credentials, it is clear that the
impression of incompetence was intended to be given.  But is Gorka really wrong, or is
the Deep State wrong?  What is the point of ever lasting war in Afghanistan?

What I see here is that Trump is bowing to the neo-Cons in order to firm up his support
there.  The continual threat of removal from office seems to be the reason for Trump's change of course.  Is there is a real change going on?  Will Trump be his own man, or is he now a captive of the Deep State?
 
This Deep State stuff is worrisome.  It appears to me that they are the ones really running the country right now.

People need to keep their eyes and ears open and alert to what is going on.

I am suspicious.
