Preserving norms is, in its way, the opposite of a power struggle. Your constant insistence of finding dubious equivalence between different parties, to turn them into parallel and competing sides, leads you to say some stupid things. The intelligence community is not trying to run the country. Trump is. In that way, they are very, very different. Unclear why you feel a need to describe their struggle in a way the avoids this difference.
