Been wondering that for about a decade now. Any answers let me know.

I've already outlined the answer around here. I'll repeat it. Since 1960, when the New Left Radicals of Berkeley began their political activity, the USA has been shifting to the Left as part of a "Long March" strategy.
There have been times when one step was taken backwards towards Conservatism, but it was always followed by two steps forward to the Left.
The key has always been the consolidation of Leftist political influence in US mass media and US education. The key has always been complete indoctrination of the youth, just as all of the old Totalitarians preached: Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Ho Chi Minh -- all of them.
So, here we sit in 2018. We have not only indoctrinated youth, but, also indoctrinated GRANDPARENTS! This mass indoctrination has been so very successful that one day in the future, the US electorate will enthusiastically vote for a Leftist Dictatorship to take power to solve all of our problems. This most probably won't happen during our lifetimes, however.
The GOP politicians are controlled by Globalist interests who stand to benefit greatly by the free trade, socialist, and open borders policies of the Globalists. Democrats want the votes of the world's poorest, sickest and most illiterate peoples of the world, and, if they have only disdain for Limited Government, all the better, because the Ruling Class's task of Controlling the Masses is made easier when we have Big Authoritarian Govt controlling all of our private lives.
The Dems don't hide their Open Borders preferences. On the other hand, the GOP must be more arcane about their true desires, in order to dupe their base into believing that the system can be changed by electing Republicans when the truth is that the destiny of the USA is no longer under the control of the US electorate.
This "Washington DC Globalist Establishment" composed of both major political parties view Trump as an infestation into the Body Politic of the ruling political order. Trump doesn't belong to the Body Politic and his agenda is anti-Globalist because it is Nationalist.
That's why both the GOP and Dems are working to Oust Trump. The Dems openly and the GOP work esoterically and "behind the veil" in order to provide a sort of Hegelian Dialectic of false opposition of forces whose planned "synthesis" is identical -- World Government.
We are all witnessing History unfold before our very eyes. We are watching a "500 year" historical process unfold, because the "Nation State" model for Global Governance is currently being replaced with a "New Model" for Global Governance that emphasizes centralized World Govt instead of fractured world govt based on nation-states.

Trump is a New York billionare who had the Clintons at his wedding and spoke out in favor of liberal policies his entire life until he saw an opportunity to sell his brand to people like you. He is as much a part of "the swamp" as anyone and always has been.

How is Trump a party of the Washington DC Globalist Establishment when 2016 was the very first time in history that Trump ran for political office?
I'm afraid that your argument that my conclusion is wrong is based on pure human emotion and is devoid of either factual support or logic.
Your contention that Trump is part of the careerist political federal "Swamp" is completely irrational and based on nothing of substance. In fact, your entire post is silly. You are a silly person.

because the establishment is a lot bigger than just people who are actually in office or live in DC

The GOP controls the Congress AND YET they voted to increase funding to NPR, which is a proven Leftist Internationalist Globalist Socialist Propaganda Outlet that bashes Trump every day.
Now, why would the GOP-controlled Congress do such a thing if they were REALLY opposed to the Democrats?

It’s my recollection that Ray Kroc’s widow gave all their money from McDonalds to NPR to the tune of several hundred million dollars when she died. They could have continued programming at then current levels on the annual earnings of the endowment. But, NPR expanded.

That statement applies to you very well.
For example, you cite the fact that Trump has held "Liberal" views his entire life as proof that he's a NY Liberal. Well, the fact is that you cite only half of the truth. Trump has been a SOCIAL liberal his entire life. You based your entire conclusion on only half of the equation -- poor logic, to be sure.
Trump's Nationalist "America First" world view distinctly opposite the prevailing world view being implemented globally. The global "liberal" view is definitely not nationalistic.
With such a logical chasm between your cited facts and your conclusions, I can only say that your claims are unpersuasive and remain supported only by your emotion-based personal opinion.
Thank you for your input, and, good day, sir.

The Bolsheviks were critical of the Romanovs.
NPR was never consistently critical of the Obama administration. Rarely, if ever. For the past two years minimum, NPR is daily agitprop for the Left.

IIRC, only about 15% of npr’s budget is taxpayer funded.
NPR is more than news... and what news it does have plays it significantly more down he middle that the bullshite you hear on cable. I agree that it’s view on matters tends to lean left, but I’m smart enough to make my own decisions.
I doubt most on here have ever listen to more than 20 minutes of npr.

Yes, thank you President Trump for the continuing the funding. You showed some real weakness.

I thought Ms. Kroc's money went to Salvation Army, and Dems.

No way, you must not listen to it. NPR and PBS are much more towards the center than either of those. They do lean left on things but generally it’s more non bias.
For some reason people here have a blind hatred for NPR. During the election they constantly had pro trump and pro gop interviews, but if the people here never listen then they won’t hear it. It’s truly sad, because NPR really is impartial. I listen daily and have not heard the hosts say anything outright bad about the GOP. I’ve only ever heard people they interview talk bad about either party. That’s what the interviews are for aren’t they? Getting varying opinions from a neutral source.

It is propaganda. Luckily no one listens to it
