NYT Publishes Anonymous Op-Ed By Saboteur Inside Trump White House

A senior White House official has published an anonymous op-ed in the New York Times titled: I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration (I work for the president but like-minded colleagues and I have vowed to thwart parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.).

The Times prefaces the piece with this disclaimer:

The Times today is taking the rare step of publishing an anonymous Op-Ed essay. We have done so at the request of the author, a senior official in the Trump administration whose identity is known to us and whose job would be jeopardized by its disclosure. We believe publishing this essay anonymously is the only way to deliver an important perspective to our readers. We invite you to submit a question about the essay or our vetting process here.

I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration

President Trump is facing a test to his presidency unlike any faced by a modern American leader.

It’s not just that the special counsel looms large. Or that the country is bitterly divided over Mr. Trump’s leadership. Or even that his party might well lose the House to an opposition hellbent on his downfall.

The dilemma — which he does not fully grasp — is that many of the senior officials in his own administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.

I would know. I am one of them.

To be clear, ours is not the popular “resistance” of the left. We want the administration to succeed and think that many of its policies have already made America safer and more prosperous.

But we believe our first duty is to this country, and the president continues to act in a manner that is detrimental to the health of our republic.

Just more NYT bs. Fake news from McCain followers. Even from the grave.

Specifics, please. Generalizations don't cut it.

One specific about Russia , the rest just ridiculous incoherent ranting. The wall, the tax cuts,the deportations of dangerous felons,a new avenue of talk with North Korea, and this traitor is complaining that his boss doesn't know as much as the backstabber.

Trump is fighting a 3-tiered war with Democrats and Rinos, and the deep state.

That's one thing the Democrats have on the opposition: they're loyal to party members , no matter how ridiculous.
