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.
My best guess is that the author is a NeverTrumper assistant to the White House chef ;or at most ,a low level paper pusher .......one of those nameless ,faceless cogs of the bureaucracy . The ones who pass by you un-noticed and may strike up a conversation about the Nats or the weather at the water cooler .
Umm actually that sounds like most of the office meetings I've ever attended ;and most of the bosses I've worked for and with .Quote:
Meetings with him veer off topic and off the rails, he engages in repetitive rants, and his impulsiveness results in half-baked, ill-informed and occasionally reckless decisions that have to be walked back.
“There is literally no telling whether he might change his mind from one minute to the next,” a top official complained to me recently, exasperated by an Oval Office meeting at which the president flip-flopped on a major policy decision he’d made only a week earlier.
The author isn't one of them . The author is a gutless coward .Quote:
but Americans should know that there are adults in the room.
He has held Russia to account more than any administration since Reagan .Quote:
Astute observers have noted, though, that the rest of the administration is operating on another track, one where countries like Russia are called out for meddling and punished accordingly, and where allies around the world are engaged as peers rather than ridiculed as rivals.
It will never happen .Give up your fantasies .Quote:
Given the instability many witnessed, there were early whispers within the cabinet of invoking the 25th Amendment, which would start a complex process for removing the president.
His opposition created a constitutional crisis when they set up this whole Russia-gate charade .Quote:
But no one wanted to precipitate a constitutional crisis.
The 'tribalism' occurs in the beltway where the duopoly runs the leviathan with an iron grip . Trump was elected to do some old fashion swamp draining .Quote:
Senator John McCain put it best in his farewell letter. All Americans should heed his words and break free of the tribalism trap, with the high aim of uniting through our shared values and love of this great nation.
