Excerpts:
The New York Times published an anonymous op-ed, purportedly penned by a “senior White House official” in the Trump administration.
Read the missive, and note that there are several clear “tells” in the piece – clues that indicate the motivations and leanings of the author, whoever the coward is. And I will use that word, as someone with the character and fortitude claimed by the author would never write an anonymous piece, nor would he remain employed within an administration he so clearly despises. The Times has called the author “he,” so I will assume a male is the person responsible
This first clue tells me that it is a member of the swamp, coming from the position that government is an entitlement belonging to an elite, never meant to be sullied by the hands of an “outsider.”
The author says in his second paragraph:
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 emphasis is mine. A Republican would likely not say “his party,” but rather “our party” or “my party.”
I am of the opinion that this is likely an Obama holdover (of which there are still more than a hundred in the employ of the White House alone) writing as if he were in fact a disaffected member of the Trump inner circle when he is in truth a bitter refusenik still stinging from the rejection of November last.
I think I know why the NYT kept it anonymous. “Disgruntled Obama holdover” doesn’t carry the same cachet as “anonymous senior member of the administration.”
