An anonymous I’m-on-the-inside-subverting-the-President New York Times piece made me gag.
The New York Times recently published an anonymous Op Ed piece that it says was written by someone high in the Trump administration and inside the White House. The author of the piece details why he and other staffers are using their positions to subvert the president and essentially govern the country themselves through lies and charade.
This person intones that he or she feels that some of the things that President Trump has done are great “conservative”triumphs. He likes the big tax cuts but he is against — and in active inside opposition to — most of the rest of the president’s initiatives.
So, instead of doing whatever job he was given, he is actively subverting his boss. The anonymous writer intones that he wants the American people to know that “there are adults in the room” to protect them from their duly elected president.
Yeah. Uh-huh. Sure.
The excuse for this is that President Trump is bad. Somehow or other, Mr Anonymous thinks President Trump’s badness justifies an inside-the-White House coup of governance.
President Trump was elected.
The opposition position that Mr Anonymous is taking onto himself should be coming from Congress.
