Anonymous author of Trump ‘resistance’ op-ed to publish a tell-all book (latest in coup effort)

The author of an anonymous column in the New York Times in 2018, who was identified as a senior Trump administration official acting as part of the “resistance” inside the government, has written a tell-all book to be published next month.

The book, titled “A Warning,” is being promoted as “an unprecedented behind-the-scenes portrait of the Trump presidency” that expands upon the Times column, which ricocheted around the world and stoked the president’s rage because of its devastating portrayal of Trump in office.

The column described Trump’s leadership style as “impetuous, adversarial, petty and ineffective,” and noted that “his impulsiveness results in half-baked, ill-informed and occasionally reckless decisions that have to be walked back.”

The author of the column, which was titled “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration” and published Sept. 5, 2018, was known to the Times but identified only as a senior official in the Trump administration. The person has still not been publicly identified.

Trump lashed out at the anonymous author after the column’s publication. The president questioned both whether the author existed and whether the author had committed treason. He also demanded on Twitter that the Times turn over “the GUTLESS anonymous person” to the government “at once.” The Times did not.

The forthcoming book will list the author as “Anonymous.” Although the person does not reveal their identity in the book, they will discuss the reasons for their anonymity, according to people involved in the project.

I have never had an intelligent person do that, they are smart enough to get the lay of the land (so to speak) before jumping to conclusions.

IF they attempt that, every single one of em, from the dogcatchers on up, needs to be publicly hanged...with no hood.

And left hanging there to rot and get eaten by the vultures!

No disagreement there. The GOPe is definitely in co-hoots with the RATs when it comes to the POTUS.
GOPe = RAT = UniParty = Deep State = Communists

Not that I’d bother.

So, per your formulation, Lt. General Mike Flynn and Admiral Mike Rogers are not “smart enough” because they stuck their head up and/or “jumped to conclusions” (pray tell the conclusions they jumped to) ?

Hi.

“The person has still not been publicly identified.”

Must be a female. Why? She has no balls.
