NY Times publishes anonymous op-ed from senior Trump official

I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration

If you haven't read it yet, take a look at the link above.

Personally, I think it was written by Kelly. But then, only the editors at the NY Times would know for sure.

But why now?

Because the mid-terms are coming up, and they need to assure the Republicans that while Trump may be unpredictable, there are "adults in the room" making sure the Republican agenda is actually carried out. So Trump is the rubber stamp. Put a piece of paper in front of him and he will sign it. And that's what they need, someone who will sign without asking questions. His lack of knowledge makes it all the more easier, as long as they can slip that piece of paper in.

Also, Mueller's report is probably coming out soon.

The message is: Keep him in office, we will make sure he works for the Republican agenda. See, we have already delivered tax cuts and created jobs. If you keep him in office, we keep our jobs, and we can continue to help push through that agenda. If you remove him, there will be someone with a brain in that position, and it won't be as easy to manipulate anymore.

So it looks like a damning op-ed, but it is probably more sinister than that.
