'Anonymous' urges a vote for Biden

Source: Politico

“Anonymous” is trolling President Donald Trump one more time.

The self-described “senior Trump administration official,” who anonymously trashed the president’s leadership in a 2018 op-ed and a 2019 best-selling book, is calling for voters to throw the president out of office this November in a new preface for the paperback “2020 election edition” of the book, “A Warning.”

A second term for Trump “unbound will mean a nation undone,” the author writes in the new preface, which was obtained by POLITICO ahead of its release on Tuesday. It will result in “a continued downward slide into social acrimony, with the United States fading into the background of a world stage it once commanded, to say nothing of the damage to our democratic institutions.”

The anonymous Trump official does not explicitly say to vote for Joe Biden, but the takeaway is unmistakable.

People who base their twisted politics on the flimsy interpretation of movies (i.e. red pill) don't deserve legitimacy by the public.

This “Anonymous” published an op-ed in the Times saying he was a White House staffer. “Anonymous” simply refers to not revealing his/her name.

Let's not forget that it was "Anonymous" which saved the re-election of Obama. They went into the "fix" that Karl Rove put on the Ohio ballots and changed the passwords so that the true results were reported.
Remember on Fox News that Rove just couldn't believe that Obama had won, since he did the same thing to Kerry in 2004, and it had worked.
