To the Editor:

In reference to the Commentary column (“A Deep Need for a ‘Deep State,'” 10/9, by Bill Bonvie): Bill, while I have appreciated your positions in many past articles, on this one your Trump Derangement Syndrome comes shining through. In particular is your mocking of the existence of the deep state, which I believe a man of your experience and journalistic prowess knows to be factual and has existed for over 100 years.
