Michael KnowlesThe anonymous author of yesterday’s New York Times op-ed, “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration,” brags of deceitfully wielding the power of the state to subvert a duly elected president. Conveniently, while the lurid gossip spreads, not a single anonymous claim can ever be verified, which means the author may be any one of three types: traitor, troll, or tall tale.
If the anonymous source exists at all and his claim that he and “many of the senior officials in [President Trump’s] own administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda” is true, the author is a traitor to his country. There is nothing noble in his sabotage. He betrays his employer, undermines our constitutional order, and attacks the right of the American people, who elected Donald Trump president in 2016, to govern themselves. The only silver lining in this scenario is irrefutable validation of President Trump’s claim that a “deep state” of bureaucrats and entrenched Washington interests is working to geld our democratic process.
