Anonymous author of Trump 'resistance' op-ed to publish a tell-all book
Source: WaPo
The author of an anonymous column in the New York Times in 2018, who was identified as a senior Trump administration official acting as part of the resistance inside the government, has written a tell-all book to be published next month.
The book, titled, A WARNING, is being promoted as an unprecedented behind-the-scenes portrait of the Trump presidency that expands upon the Times column, which ricocheted around the world and stoked the presidents rage because of its devastating portrayal of Trump in office.
The column described Trumps leadership style as impetuous, adversarial, petty and ineffective, and noted that his impulsiveness results in half-baked, ill-informed and occasionally reckless decisions that have to be walked back.
The author of the column, which was titled I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration and was published Sept. 5, 2018, was known to the Times but identified by the Times only as a senior official in the Trump administration. The person has not been publicly identified.

Ah, but Gym Jordan would claim it's all a lyin' conspiracy!

Also, George Conway.

(1,336 posts)she could write her tell-all book and make megabucks from it? I recall someone (a journalist) letting slip the fact that Conway is one of the leakers (maybe Leaker-in-Chief) that causes Trump fits of rage.
Gawd, those people are SO F'ED UP

(10,045 posts)No doubt if it is her, George has helped her write it. The problem to me is that whoever it is, is completely chickenshit. They should be sitting in front of the dems impeachment committee, not writing a book. Want to play the hero then be the hero, not writing a book, when you could be the one to solve the problem.

(7,220 posts)Plus way back when, during the campaign, Mika & Joe said Kellyanne ended a segment full of usual lies and BS, then off-camera said "I need a shower". She vehemently denied this. Question is, how can she redeem herself when she'd gone out in public and defended the indefensible for so long? Dump likely wouldn't be president without her making him seem reasonable to the public.
