As reports of a brewing mutiny in the West Wing and federal agencies help to exacerbate the president’s paranoia, Trump has stepped up his attacks on the anonymous saboteur who purportedly penned a New York Times op-ed slamming the commander-in-chief as incompetent, ill-tempered and fundamentally unfit for office. In particular, the author complained about the president’s “instability” and “misguided impulses” in what appeared to be a deliberate attack coordinated with the Washington Post, which had only just published “leaked” excerpts of Watergate journalist Bob Woodward’s upcoming book “Fear”.
In a tweet sent last night, Trump accused the turncoat – allegedly a “senior official in the Trump administration” – of being part of the deep state apparatus that has tried to undermine the president’s agenda at every turn – via the bogus Russia investigation or the unceasing stream of embarrassing leaks to the media. Meanwhile, the US economy is booming and the unemployment rate (which will receive another update later this morning) has plunged below 4% as the economic expansion is now the second-longest on record. “The Deep State and the Left, and their vehicle, the Fake News Media, are going Crazy – & they don’t know what to do.”
Trump later suggested that the op-ed was a reaction provoked by his push to “drain the swamp” and replace corrupt Washington insiders.
