Anonymous member of Trump's cabinet writes op-ed trashing him

This is insane. This man/woman works for Donald Trump and tells a major media outlet that they are actively working against him. The New York Times rarely if ever publishes anonymous op-eds, but felt this was worthy of it. I don't think there has ever been anything like this before. According to the op-ed author, there are number of forces inside the White House that are attempting to thwart the President. This is some shadow government type of shit.

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.

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 root of the problem is the president’s amorality. Anyone who works with him knows he is not moored to any discernible first principles that guide his decision making.

Trump tweeted out this one word response earlier today:

I can tell you from personal familiarity that it's highly unlikely that anyone in this White House knows how to write. FAKE NEWS.

Re: Anonymous member of Trump's cabinent writes op-ed trashing him

His own staff thinks he's a moron. It's a Coup d'état by his own staff.

Re: Anonymous member of Trump's cabinet writes op-ed trashing him

Look at the article. The opposition has been portrayed as one of moral outrage at an immoral president, but it's pretty clear the motives here are much less pure. This is written by a conservative who doesn't find Donald Trump to be conservative enough, even though that's the only good thing about him. This is not a principled stand they are taking. Remember, these are still establishment Republicans, principles don't mean a thing to them.

Although he was elected as a Republican, the president shows little affinity for ideals long espoused by conservatives: free minds, free markets and free people. At best, he has invoked these ideals in scripted settings. At worst, he has attacked them outright.

In addition to his mass-marketing of the notion that the press is the “enemy of the people,” President Trump’s impulses are generally anti-trade and anti-democratic.

Re: Anonymous member of Trump's cabinet writes op-ed trashing him

He goes around calling Jeff Sessions a "mentally retarded" "dumb Southerner", and basically abuses his staff on a daily basis. People can take that kind of crap only for so long, even if from the President.

Re: Anonymous member of Trump's cabinet writes op-ed trashing him

Jeff Sessions is a dumb old racist. So is Trump, but still, Sessions probably deserves disrespect. Trump isn't the first president to berate those around him. Many presidents have had legendary tempers. Bill Clinton, Lyndon Johnson, Andrew Jackson, Truman possibly. These are type A personalities for the most part.

"Everyone who disagrees with my evil philosophy is racist." -badenoughfaggot

"I am Kamala Harris, my pronouns are she and her, and I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit." -A fucking idiot

Re: Anonymous member of Trump's cabinet writes op-ed trashing him

I read about this on the Fox News app. Fascinating. To expose the divisiveness within the administration and the forces actively working against the president is scandalous. Looking forward to watching the drama unfold in the media.

Hey Diddler, Diddler….the cat and the fiddler LOL

Re: Anonymous member of Trump's cabinet writes op-ed trashing him

This op-ed writer screwed up. This points to a very real divide that exists between Trump and the establishment Republicans. They know Trump means the death of their stranglehold on the Republican party, so they are trying to subvert that by limiting his vision as president. They don't want him to do what most elected him to do, which was burn Washington to the ground, because these are the same assholes that have been running the show for the past 3 decades and it has made them fabulously wealthy. It's time for Trump to clean house.

Sarah Sanders is impressive in her loyalty. She succeeds on so many levels that Spicer did not. He clearly still has some devotees although she has little to do with influencing policy.

Hey Diddler, Diddler….the cat and the fiddler LOL

Re: Anonymous member of Trump's cabinet writes op-ed trashing him

Some are speculating the author could be Mike Pence. The word "lodestar" was in the OpED, which only Mike Pence has ever used.

Pence has been using “lodestar” since at least 2001.

Re: Anonymous member of Trump's cabinet writes op-ed trashing him

I saw this. Actually I read it might be his chief of staff. Whoever wrote it must know they will eventually be discovered. I think it could just be a hoax meant to sow discord and fan paranoia

Hey Diddler, Diddler….the cat and the fiddler LOL

Re: Anonymous member of Trump's cabinet writes op-ed trashing him

A word nobody else can even type. I mean, it's really implausible to imagine somebody trying (amateurish attempt) to frame Pence.

It's nothing we would do here.

Re: Anonymous member of Trump's cabinet writes op-ed trashing him

Don’t worry the Trumpster has his thugs all over it .

Yuk yuk yuk
