It isn't anonymous to the Times staff. They know who they are talking to and are ok publishing it as a 'senior Trump official.'

Just to clarify they aren't publishing an anonymous email someone sent them, they are just not publishing the source's name.

The author is clearly a right-winger who wants to be associated with Trump's actions that are popular with establishment Republicans, but wants to disassociate from Trump's crazier actions.

That's a possibility. Pence has the luxury of being the only guy in the administration who can't be fired by Trump. But the author seems too grim and realistic to be Pence.

This is an extraordinary action, whoever it is. It's hard to imagine Trump surviving much longer after this.

I don’t think it’s her because she’s not in the White House.

No, Trump won the election. He won’t be “gotten rid of” because the NYT publishes anonymous op-Ed’s.
If this person actually exists, the should resign and not hide behind anonymous screeds.

She is 100% though a senior official working from within to temper bad foreign policy decisions

WTF? Conservatives will go on even when they fully understand our country and the democracy is in danger? What are they waiting for? Word War III?

I don't know. A true patriot would quit and go on the record about their concerns. This is just hiding behind anonymity.

But I bet we'll find out within a couple days. Seems like things don't stay secret for long.

What constitutes a "senior official"?

The honorable thing to do would be for this individual to resign and go public with his/her concerns. If it really is a senior person, it could make a difference. If it is someone like an Omarosa, it would make no difference.

But whoever it is must realize he/she will not have a future in the Republican party thereafter. For this reason, I doubt it is Pence or Haley.

Agree

I've heard a theory that it's a senior member of the Pence staff

Make a difference how? What exactly do you think that person resigning would do, at this stage of things?

I don't think anything is changing until after the midterms, and then only if Rs lose a lot. These dumb complicit Rs are on this Trump train till it rolls off the mountain.

Exactly! The only way to get rid of this chaos and madness is to vote them all out.

That will not happen.

Trump will continue to be president and the senate will likely stay under Republican control.
