Senior administration official blasts Trump in anonymous NYT op-ed
The Hill ^ | September 5, 2018 | Avery Anapol

Posted on 09/05/2018 1:43:45 PM PDT by detective

A person identified as a senior administration official blasted President Trump in an anonymous op-ed published by The New York Times on Wednesday, saying they were working to "thwart" President Trump's "worst inclinations."

In the piece, titled, "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration," the author says that while officials "want the administration to succeed," they have had to work against Trump's "misguided impulses" and parts of his agenda.

"To be clear, ours is not the popular 'resistance' of the left," the piece reads. "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," the unidentified official wrote.

The Hill talks about the so called "anonymous official".

The article is clearly written to appeal to moderate Republicans and influence the mid term elections.

I am not sure this person even exists, or wrote the article.

The article seems like it was written by a Democrat Party operative to attack Trump. Saying that it was from a "senior administration official" is just a political trick to get it more credibility.

I pay no attention to “anonymous” sources. What confidence can you have about anything here? NONE!

This is complete bs. The only evidence they present is their integrity, of which they have none.

Might this anonymous senior administration official be one of the un-named sources is Woodward’s new book?

""I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration," the author says that while officials "want the administration to succeed,...""

A Logical Impossibility.

Fake news.

The so-called “resistor” spews anti-Trump talking points as well as drooling over McCain.

I don’t believe for a second this guy is in any position of power.

The game is not being played in the Gray Lady’s Skirts. This is Alinsky 101! Freeze, isolate, deligitimize your opponent. Create a set of impossible rules as a standard and demand that he live up to them. Who is the NYT trying to kid. No mole is going to want to be made famous on the pages of the NYT. Either some door opener wants to be deep throat or the whole thing is made up. It is as likely as Russian Hackers being so sloppy as to leave their fingerprints all over Killary’s Server. Oh, the narrative of it all!

The Republic inside the Beltway swamp?

If they are aghast that Trump isn't a politician and isn't political -- well, that's exactly why I voted to hire him.

Too gutless to reveal his true identity.

To put any stock in an anonymous writing, you have to trust its proponent. The NYT? Really? The NY Friggin’ Times? Really?

Unless the author fesses up I will assume this is fiction, like much of the rest of the content from the same fake news source.
