This, right here, is the one and only reason some parts of the establishment dislike Trump. It's not because he doesn't play along with their agendas (he does), it's because he mismanages events and narratives in a way that exposes the ugliness of the empire for all to see.
They don't dislike Trump because he does good things, and they certainly don't dislike Trump because he does bad things. They dislike Trump because, unlike his predecessors, he does bad things in a way that startles the people out of their sleep.

The following is my husband Tim's account of witnessing the police shooting of Oscar Grant on 1/1/2009. #BlackLivesMatter

The weirdest thing about it was how unsurprising the actual shooting was when it happened. That's how far the police had already escalated things by then. /1
My family and I were on our way back from a New Year's concert in San Francisco when the train stopped, then we heard cops screaming and cursing. One came into our car, shoved past passengers and grabbed a young black guy who'd come in from another car, screaming and cursing. /2
The guy (not Oscar) provided no resistance, but the cop was extremely rough with him, dragged him out of the train and shoved him hard against the wall. Other cops were doing the same thing roughly dragging other young black men off the train, absolutely RAGING the whole time. /3
