It is a world of self interest and there are more powerful groups than the government. Self interest of power has undermined and infiltrated the system a long time ago.

I think it's naive to have this childish worldview where there is always something "above" in control.

The "deep state" is just the permanent bureaucracy.
The US federal govt has about 3 million employees. Those employees are careerist and they survive from administration to administration.
No matter what the "president" or "congress" says, nothing gets done without their buy-in.
This is not a childish view.

Is he confusing Illuminati with deep state?

Thats how I read it.
Normally this permanent bureaucracy has its own infighting and is not aligned on every issue. The rise of Donald Trump prompted a rare alignment of all the factions primarily because he was an outsider who was free from their control.
This alignment made them visible.

Are you confusing Illuminati with deep state?
Deep state consists of permanent unelected career government employees especially in CIA, NSA, military, State Dept, Defense Dept and similar
