The scary thing is it was the military industrial complex in the first place that even allowed Trump to get elected in 2016. They figured he'd be better for business than Hillary's nuclear holocaust with Russia, and with a little luck maybe they could use his populist personality and fiery energy to scale back the Bush/Clinton wing of the deep state that had gotten too out of control for them since 9/11.

Beyond stopping the steal for him in 2016, they sure as shit didn't offer up much else for support along the way. They took their shot, clearly underestimated their rivals, and then were fine letting Trump and the working class take the fall for it. They got their cease-fire and stalemate with the cabal for another decade and now are back to building bombs and business as usual.
