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.
