The term doesn't mean what you seem to think it means. You can call it the military-industrial-intelligence complex if you want, but no they're not going to coup Trump lol. There might be a lot of bureaucratic infighting though.

The term deep state was created to refer to the network within the Turkish government responsible for the nation's numerous coups and military conspiracies, and is useful for describing circumstances in several other states like Greece for example prior to the establishment of its military junta in the late 1960s. The analogy becomes very tenuous however when extended to the United States.
