Amid disputes with his own government over climate change and Saudi intelligence, President Trump decried what he called the "deep state" in a rally on Monday.

Without making specific reference to any one topic, Trump said he was working to rid the government of careerists who might not share his views.

"This is the greatest political movement in the history of our country. There’s nothing like this. Nothing like this has ever happened. And you still have deep state. But one by one, we’re getting them out," he said in Mississippi.

"You have deep state bad people. You have a lot of phony stuff going on," he said, without elaboration. "But you know what? One by one, we’re winning. We’re winning, winning, winning."
