As Twitchy reported, The New York Times on Wednesday published an anonymous op-ed entitled, “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration” — just the thing to dispel all those rumors about a “deep state” working inside the government to sabotage President Trump’s agenda.
National Review senior political correspondent Jim Geraghty has a preview of tomorrow’s anonymous rebuttal that’s sure to appear:

Yes, let’s hear from the loyal Trump assistant who takes those pages swiped from the president’s desk out of the trash and puts them back when no one’s looking.
The only thing we need is a name for the resistance effort against The Resistance.
The Insistence?

New York Times TV critic James Poniewozik has another title for today’s secretive op-ed:
I Am Willing to Sacrifice Anything to Protect Our Democracy, Up to But Not Including Losing an Election or Giving Up Literally Any Policy That I Support: A Hero's Story

Nice.
I can't wait to read the eventual book, I Too Was Secretly Dismayed the Whole Time, Also: A Memoir of Service

We’ll admit we did tell ourselves back during the primaries when we had our doubts about Trump that at least he surrounds himself with the best people. Like Omarosa.
Or speaking on the record.

Or like…telling the country under your own name, immediately and not in a book months or years later.

before believing everything in this op-ed, ask yourself why this person wrote it

hero complex. Book deal. About to get fired or quit anyway.
— Kyle Smith (@rkylesmith) September 5, 2018
We thought the book deal came with the job, along with a position as CNN contributor.
This is a half-joke, but truly one of the most obnoxious things of the post-Trump era will be various hangers-on insisting they were never part of the team https://t.co/JB0XEzFELU

We can’t wait for all of the memoirs to be released directly to landfill.
My god yes. They will say that they were all, in fact, coffee boys.

We hardly knew him. Empty figurehead. He mostly just brought coffee.

Patience … give it a day or two.
Gonna be amazing when that NYT op-ed ends up being a psy op released by Trump to smoke out the traitors pic.twitter.com/VP2dErwN9S

Apparently this president is just erratic and dangerous enough to undermine and work against from the inside, but not quite so erratic and dangerous that someone should resign and inform the public directly and on the record.
