Dear Anonymous Inside the Trump Administration
Dear Anonymous,
Its time we revisit that famous op-ed of yours.
In September, you acknowledged that you were a member of the quiet resistance within Donald Trumps administration. You told us that you and others were working diligently to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations. You said that while you agreed with many of the presidents policies, you were appalled by the presidents amorality, his chaotic management, his repetitive rants, his fondness for dictators.
You also believed that your efforts to resist Trump were often successful. On foreign policy, you noted, the administrations policies were far more sober and serious than the presidents reckless rhetoric.
You were wrong. This week proves it. Assuming you havent departed the administration already, now would be the time for you to go. Ditto for all of your fellow resisters.
