NYT: Anonymous Opinion – “I am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration”
From The Last English Prince:
Having just endured scanning the unimpressive commentary of an “anonymous senior official” in the Trump administration I feel the need to locate a bottle of wine and prepare a small plate of snacks. There is cause for celebration. If senior officials can get by with such shoddy wordcrafting, it is a great day for the blogging community. Doesn’t seem like the competition is that good.
Whilst the title is lofty, the complete work reads more like, “Words Guilded with Brass”.
So let me add a few first impressions having just scanned the op-ed a few minutes ago.
The NYTimes issues lofty proclamation: “We believe publishing this essay anonymously is the only way to deliver an important perspective to our readers.”
It would seem that “perspective” is just a kinder manner of describing the moral mucor which afflicts journalism.
“President Trump is facing a test to his presidency unlike any faced by a modern American leader.”
A test greater than the Cuban missile crisis? Greater than the demands of Vietnam? A test greater than 9/11 or the death of a U.S. ambassador in Benghazi?
“… many of the senior officials in his own administration…”
Many as in a large amount, countless, innumerable, multitudinous or an indubitable Mongolian horde? What, exactly, is “many”?
“I would know. I am one of them.”
Tada! It is me! Such a declarative statement! But it is certainly not a Jesus moment. (John 18:8 NIV “I told you that I am He.”) You would think concerned citizen Anonymous would be willing to sacrifice for such a noble purpose.
“That is why many Trump appointees have vowed…”
Shouldn’t it read “This is why…”? And again the “many” without a metric.
They have vowed? What about any vow which was taken to serve the current POTUS, residing under proper chain of command?
“President Trump’s impulses are generally anti-trade….”
The POTUS has firmly stated that he is a fair trade President.
“From the White House to executive branch departments and agencies…”
Copy edit: “From the White House to the executive branch departments and agencies, and please include my grandmother…”
“It may be cold comfort in this chaotic era, but Americans know that there are adults in the room.”
I find the statement extremely offensive. To relegate the POTUS to a childhood status means that tens of millions of children were also in the voting booth. Lollipops were not passed out to the voters. We were adults who voted for the adult who we wanted to lead us.
“President Trump shows a preference for autocrats and dictators….”
Preference, or capable of playing three level chess?
“Acute observers have noted, though, that the rest of the administration is operating on another track…”
Just spit it out. Explain to the children the various tracks of governance, the differences inherent in the Executive branch management, the interface with Foggy Bottom, the tracks of the various Cabinet members and their staff, and Houses of Congress interface.
“Given the instability many witnessed, there were early whispers within the cabinet….”
Who whispered?
“There is a quiet resistance within the administration….”
Do not confuse quiet with benign. Cancer can also quietly metastasize within a body prior to overtaking the host. This senior official and his cohorts are a form of political cancer. They must be excised from the current administration.
Beyond the prior strong statement, the opinion reads like a college paper written by a sociology major submitting thoughts on cultural chaos.
