Ultimately, President Trump’s base widely supports Graham’s assertions of the media working against the President. The term “fake news” remains alive and well to this day and Americans have taken to social media to slam the deep state and affirm that President Trump will not be defeated:

15.Deep State had insurance policies by leveraging information from their wiretaps while Trump had been diligently building his group,Deep State has been corrupting his cabinet because they had the intel as to "who were going where"
Wiretaps helped them get ahead to a degree. #Q— Drain the Swamp#QAnon🇺🇸🇺🇸 (@ItsAngryBob) January 24, 2018
Yes, the deep state is real. They're working against President Trump and did everything to block him from winning the election. Now they're trying to delegitimize his Presidency by pushing these bogus assertions of collusion with Russia and lack of mental fitness. It won't work.

Many of President Trump’s critics have dismissed Franklin Graham’s assertions that the deep state is employing the media as a weapon to sabotage the Commander-in-Chief.
