I think it's naive to have this childish worldview where there is always something "above" in control.
this territory is moderated
The "deep state" is just the permanent bureaucracy.
The US federal govt has about 3 million employees. Those employees are careerist and they survive from administration to administration.
No matter what the "president" or "congress" says, nothing gets done without their buy-in.
This is not a childish view.

Is he confusing Illuminati with deep state?

Thats how I read it.
Normally this permanent bureaucracy has its own infighting and is not aligned on every issue. The rise of Donald Trump prompted a rare alignment of all the factions primarily because he was an outsider who was free from their control.
This alignment made them visible.
