More shameful anonymous fake news from the failing Times, sad!

But seriously, this is disturbing if genuine.

Quote
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.

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.

I would know. I am one of them.


That is why many Trump appointees have vowed to do what we can to preserve our democratic institutions while thwarting Mr. Trump’s more misguided impulses until he is out of office.


Thank god for the deep state!

Trump's response:

Quote (CNN)
Trump dismissed the op-ed as "really a disgrace" and "gutless," assailing the author and The New York Times for publishing the anonymous opinion piece.

"We have somebody in what I call the failing New York Times that's talking about he's part of the resistance inside the Trump administration," Trump said. "This is what we have to deal with. And you know the dishonest media ... But it's really a disgrace."


Thought this deserved it's own topic

Author essentially calls Trump a RINO (and not in the way the fringe right uses it) and also says "the root of the problem is the president's amorality."

"Trump's impulses are generally anti-trade and anti-democratic"

Absolutely agree, President Trump is most liberal president of USA ever. Anti-War, was willing to sign DACA.

God bless him

Idiot democrats however are interested in only winning and don give a fuk about americans so they did no sign daca with citizenship over 15 year period, cause this way no easy votes

I would laugh my ass off and accuse you of grabbing at straws, along with the NYTimes, but SF banned straws.

You realize ofc, that the New York Times Book Review is the org that stuck up for Woodward's book, then two days later we get this "anonymous" op-ed. I guess some folk will believe just about anything.

Again, the term is "Grasping at straws" not "grabbing", just trying to make you look less stupid...

Anyways...

Did you read the entire article? I bet it's the real deal but obviously can't be 100% sure. You do understand why it's anonymous i hope?
