I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration

I work for the president but like-minded colleagues and I have vowed to thwart parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.

The Times is taking the rare step of publishing an anonymous Op-Ed essay. We have done so at the request of the author, a senior official in the Trump administration whose identity is known to us and whose job would be jeopardized by its disclosure. We believe publishing this essay anonymously is the only way to deliver an important perspective to our readers. We invite you to submit a question about the essay or our vetting process here. [Update: Our answers to some of those questions are published here.] https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/05/opinion/trump-white-house-anonymous-resistance.html

President Trump is facing a test to his presidency unlike any faced by a modern American leader.

It’s not just that the special counsel looms large. Or that the country is bitterly divided over Mr. Trump’s leadership. Or even that his party might well lose the House to an opposition hellbent on his downfall.

The dilemma — which he does not fully grasp — is that many of the senior officials in his own administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.

I would know. I am one of them.

To be clear, ours is not the popular “resistance” of the left. We want the administration to succeed and think that many of its policies have already made America safer and more prosperous.

But we believe our first duty is to this country, and the president continues to act in a manner that is detrimental to the health of our republic.

That is why many Trump appointees have vowed to do what we can to preserve our democratic institutions while thwarting Mr. Trump’s more misguided impulses until he is out of office.

The root of the problem is the president’s amorality. Anyone who works with him knows he is not moored to any discernible first principles that guide his decision making.

Although he was elected as a Republican, the president shows little affinity for ideals long espoused by conservatives: free minds, free markets and free people. At best, he has invoked these ideals in scripted settings. At worst, he has attacked them outright.

In addition to his mass-marketing of the notion that the press is the “enemy of the people,” President Trump’s impulses are generally anti-trade and anti-democratic.

Don’t get me wrong. There are bright spots that the near-ceaseless negative coverage of the administration fails to capture: effective deregulation, historic tax reform, a more robust military and more.

But these successes have come despite — not because of — the president’s leadership style, which is impetuous, adversarial, petty and ineffective.

From the White House to executive branch departments and agencies, senior officials will privately admit their daily disbelief at the commander in chief’s comments and actions. Most are working to insulate their operations from his whims.

Meetings with him veer off topic and off the rails, he engages in repetitive rants, and his impulsiveness results in half-baked, ill-informed and occasionally reckless decisions that have to be walked back.

“There is literally no telling whether he might change his mind from one minute to the next,” a top official complained to me recently, exasperated by an Oval Office meeting at which the president flip-flopped on a major policy decision he’d made only a week earlier.

The erratic behavior would be more concerning if it weren’t for unsung heroes in and around the White House. Some of his aides have been cast as villains by the media. But in private, they have gone to great lengths to keep bad decisions contained to the West Wing, though they are clearly not always successful.

It may be cold comfort in this chaotic era, but Americans should know that there are adults in the room. We fully recognize what is happening. And we are trying to do what’s right even when Donald Trump won’t.

The result is a two-track presidency.

Take foreign policy: In public and in private, President Trump shows a preference for autocrats and dictators, such as President Vladimir Putin of Russia and North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, and displays little genuine appreciation for the ties that bind us to allied, like-minded nations.

Astute observers have noted, though, that the rest of the administration is operating on another track, one where countries like Russia are called out for meddling and punished accordingly, and where allies around the world are engaged as peers rather than ridiculed as rivals.

On Russia, for instance, the president was reluctant to expel so many of Mr. Putin’s spies as punishment for the poisoning of a former Russian spy in Britain. He complained for weeks about senior staff members letting him get boxed into further confrontation with Russia, and he expressed frustration that the United States continued to impose sanctions on the country for its malign behavior. But his national security team knew better — such actions had to be taken, to hold Moscow accountable.

This isn’t the work of the so-called deep state. It’s the work of the steady state.

Given the instability many witnessed, there were early whispers within the cabinet of invoking the 25th Amendment, which would start a complex process for removing the president. But no one wanted to precipitate a constitutional crisis. So we will do what we can to steer the administration in the right direction until — one way or another — it’s over.

The bigger concern is not what Mr. Trump has done to the presidency but rather what we as a nation have allowed him to do to us. We have sunk low with him and allowed our discourse to be stripped of civility.

Senator John McCain put it best in his farewell letter. All Americans should heed his words and break free of the tribalism trap, with the high aim of uniting through our shared values and love of this great nation.

We may no longer have Senator McCain. But we will always have his example — a lodestar for restoring honor to public life and our national dialogue. Mr. Trump may fear such honorable men, but we should revere them.

There is a quiet resistance within the administration of people choosing to put country first. But the real difference will be made by everyday citizens rising above politics, reaching across the aisle and resolving to shed the labels in favor of a single one: Americans.

Good news for Abbeybailey in Illinois. Democrat candidate Pritzker has defeated incumbent GOP governor Rauner in the race for Illinois governor

Florida and Wisconsin? Wisc where I voted for Trump in 2016. Let the memes take him to evil, and everyone else who's dumb enough.

Looking really bad for Heidi heitkamp in North Dakota. GOP candidate Kramer is running away with the race. Texas is still close but a lot of vote still to be counted

And Georgia too. Trump's base race message is at an all-time high there I'm sure. Enough to swing d1cks in their governor's chair

Ron DeSantis looks like he is going to be the next governor of Florida. Not looking good for Gillum. Only two percent of the votes left to be counted. Rick Scott steal leading Nelson in the senate race but it's still close

Joe Manchin the Incumbent Democratic senator of West Virginia has just won reelection. It's a very Red state but He voted for Kavanaugh so that worked in his favour

Another Repub win. Maybe at this point Blacks/Aficans should willing relocate or start buying or manufacting nukes to save their credibility. Or was Kanu wrong?

Repubs will keep the senate but HOPEFULLY Dems for the House. Which is nothing at this point. Repubs know what they're doing, Dems are sad.

I don't think elections in America are determined by "cosmic mirrors", though I might be wrong. We'll find out soon I guess.

That's right. I like the way you leave it open because you knew quite well there are forces beyond our controls that governs the universe up there in the sky. Just the same way the Reps shock them in 2016, same thing will repeat itself over and over again till Trump'time is done and dusted.

Here is proof that the cosmic order determines elections in America.

Now you know that the spiritual controls the physical.

Those who ate dreaming a Bluewave will be disappointed come tomorrow,. It was based on facts that I gamed the outcome...

Let's wait and see....

In Missouri , North Dakota and Indiana, GOP challengers are beating incumbent Democrat senators by a wide margin. GOP winning 66% of the votes in in North Dakota, 63% of the votes in Missouri and 55% of the votes in Indiana

GOP candidate Kemp is defeating Democrat Stacey Abrams by a wide margin in the Georgia governors race. He is winning by 59% to 40% for the democrat candidate. I think that one is over

GOP rep Marsha Blackburn just won the race for Tennessee senate seat beating Phil Bredesden. The GOP are definitely keeping their senate majority

Repubs did a lot to cater to hate-based millenials other than 4chan memes and video games:
https://www.npr.org/2018/11/05/660642531/right-wing-hate-groups-are-recruiting-video-gamers

the question remains where are the Dems on their messaging? They have NONE, but instead taking their coy Obama-tier convenient back seat while being fvked by re-polished 19th century hate. Dems WON'T get the Senate but maybe they'll get the US House. Trump rules on in other words, he gives no sh1ts about Africa or Blacks, his base wont let hm and he's too much of a slowpoke. REMINDER: i voted for Trump for this very reason

All the drama is in the house races, it's really close at the moment. Whoever wins control of the house will have a small majority in the house

Abbeybailey:
A lot of the racist pig lovers will be in mourning tomorrow when Americans of good conscience start taking their country back from a Divider in Chief. What unite us is bigger that what divides us. People are coming out in drove all over the Fruited Plains . Both young people and White Suburban women ( Soccer Mums ) are filling the polling booths and that's a good vibe for us on the Blue Team.

Hey Lucas, the fruited plains will become like the mount before Zerrubabel: not by might, not by crowd, but by the determinate counsel of the ALMIGHTY. I see Redblood stains upon this thread.....and when I asked the voice that spake with me what meaneth this, It Echoes... "they were milked from the Bluewaves of democratic losers ship".

It's over Lucas...

Tammy Baldwin wins re-election in Wisconsin

GOP candidate Mike Braun has defeated Democratic incumbent Joe Donnelly in the race for Indiana senate

My state, WI, will likely get Baldwin (D) for Senate and a new (D) governor seat which is all I needed for now. The Incumbent (R) Governor [Walker] hopefully knew he was getting FVKED by the Chinese's Foxconn plant in Wisconsin. HELO AFRICA

Democrat Tammy Baldwin wins reelection as senator for Wisconsin

Let me use my Spanish slogan for You, Loco Loco. Go find a Spanish/English dictionary to know the meaning.

Really nail biting in the Wisconsin governors race, Evers still ahead by a narrow margin

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (New York) has now become the youngest woman ever to be elected to Congress.
She’s only 29 years old.

Abbeybailey:

Alright! But you agree the Bluewave ain't forthcoming?

In Colorado, Jared Polis has become the first openly gay man to be elected governor

Admittedly Walker publicly stated that if he wins again he wont run for re-election. I always knew he'd run the Chinese's Foxconn deal he got played on and now a Dem gubernatorial will have to play clean up.

Lets hope that the slowpoke Walker has bigger politically aspirations. This is a good time for him to jump ship

Democrats looking more likely to retake control of the house of reps

Appleyard:

Alright! But you agree the Bluewave ain't forthcoming?

Obviously You don't know anything about the elections here. The Blue wave is Democrats winning the House of Representatives because that's where the financial and other laws in America begins before going to the Senate and President for his John Hancock. We will pick at least 32 to 38 seats in the House and your racist idol is wetting his pants in the Oval Office as we speak. Things are going good for Democrat watching ABC News as I am typing now.

Scott Walker is actually leading the race for Wisconsin governor right now

BTW Wisconsin will likely pass recreation Marijuana referendum. I was VERY reluctant on voting in favor for this but I did. Nigeria alone is already suffering with codeine and weed. Im sure Blacks here will too sadly. This may be my only loss for Wisconsin.

Buddy, you are changing your color like chameleon now. You guys don't know how things work in America. We gave the racist pig a chance and he blew it big time. Americans ain't gonna be fooled twice. Wait till new Congress is sworn in January and see how your Lord Trampy will be losing his chia pet here daily. Team Blue Rocks.
