Quite so. The bumbling inadequate Trump was soon corralled and contained by those the deep state surrounded him with. Anybody who might have helped Trump to resist was quickly sidelined by one method or another.
Is it not written that "personnel is policy"? Well, look at the clownshow that was Trump appointments and it is clear that Trump had little in the way of actual, thought-out policy. In fact, it is likely that Trump didn't expect to win in 2016, and he certainly didn't have much of an idea what to do if he did actually win.
This also blows up the russiagate conspiracy theory, as anyone half as intelligent and determined as Putin is supposed to be would have a list of appointees, vetted and compromised and ready to go on Day One.

Russiagate was obvious nonsense right from the off. The compromised ones were those presumably delivered up by Epstein and co.
