Anonymous Official Says Trump Staff Working Against 'Amoral' President

Donald Trump

Top members of Donald Trump’s administration are so alarmed by the president’s “erratic” behaviour that they are actively working to undermine him, according to an anonymous “senior official.”

“President Trump is facing a test to his presidency unlike any faced by a modern American leader,” the official wrote in an op-ed in The New York Times entitled “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration.”

“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,” the official wrote.

“I would know. I am one of them.”

The official described a “two-track” presidency in which Trump says one thing and his staff consciously does another, for example with regard to what he called Trump’s “preference for autocrats and dictators.”

And officials actively work to insulate themselves from Trump’s “impetuous, adversarial, petty and ineffective” leadership style, the writer says.
