Donald Trump has vowed to demolish what he calls the “deep state” a conspiratorial term for the U.S. federal bureaucracy.

Julian Zelizer : The American administrative state was established almost 100 years ago by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt .

Zelizer says it's valuable to remember what the old deal looked like while Trump rails against the New Deal.

Julian Zelizer : The administrative state has been protecting the rights of ordinary Americans for the past 87 years .

Zelizer says the Supreme Court kept striking down New Deal laws and regulations.

He says Congress has deliberately protected bureaucrats from the volatility of presidential politics.

But gutting regulatory agencies won’t help small farmers or family-owned fishing boats, Zelizer writes.
