Also the very term “Deep State” comes from Turkey - derin devlet is the Turkish term. It originated in Turkey in the 1990s, when the Turkish military was colluding with drug traffickers, hit men and other dubious groups to wage a rather ruthless dirty war against Kurdish insurgents, usually the PKK and their affiliated groups.

It is just a buzzword invented by RW pundits to explain why the entire US government did not just cash in its entire sense of ethics and abandon its established procedures in order to cooperate with Trump’s sense of how to run things there.
