Here’s my gripe with it -
If this person is part of a small team that’s actively working to keep the WH balanced and on-course then they just made their own ‘purpose’ infinitely harder by doing this, which makes no sense.
If the claims this individual are making are true and they’re trying their hardest to keep it on the tracks until at least 2020, WHAT COULD MOTIVATE HIM/HER TO DO THIS? I’m having trouble putting myself in their shoes and coming up with any logical reason to think this is a good idea.
To summarize: The article’s claims and the fact that it even exists, let alone in the NYT, are completely contradictory

Well he didn’t make a reference to Trump’s “broad shoulders” so the jury is still out.

First take from the WH:
quote:
@PressSec denounces anonymous author of @NYTimes op-ed claiming to be a Senior Admin Official secretly working against some @POTUS policies. Sanders calls the writer "a gutless anonymous source" and "a new low" for the Times. Says the essay is "pathetic, reckless & selfish."

My guess is reassuring the American public as well as other members of the “resistance” that are in the closet still so to speak

I still think the Times is being playful with the words “senior official”
The federal government always has been honeycombed with officials resistant to this and all GOP administrations. They are government workers and nearly all Democrats. don't be misled by the words "senior officials." There are loads of them.

"To cover my tracks, I usually pay attention to other staffers' idioms and use that in my background quotes. That throws the scent off me," the current White House official added.

Where the frick is the robust military. Throwing more $ at wasteful projects isn't robust. It's stupidity.

Full statement. Trump is PISSED. We know trump wrote this b.c of the election bit.
ha ha. Next few days will be fun.

I mean, I guess you could make the argument that the largest and most powerful military in the world isn’t ‘robust’ if you’re wanting to be BJGator1215 and take the most asinine stance possible?

The same Congress that has all but obstructed Justice for Trump? That one?

No one is saying that. The US has had the most powerful military since ww2. Throwing more pork at it is not going to fix its wasteful spending.
