Why do you think this NY Times Op-Ed was written?

[JoeB131]

Something doesn't fit here, but hopefully they'll be outed.

Why do you hope they'll be outed?

You seem more upset that Trump's staff thinks he's crazy than Trump being, you know, a Crazy Nazi who throws children into concentration Camps.

 

[JoeB131]

I'd think it would depend on if the author were outed. If they were and turned out to be an evangelical Pence supporter, holy crap. No pun intended.

I can't imagine the author won't be outed at some point.

I know you are upset. Such disloyalty to the Fuhrer can not be tolerated!

"...Trump is a Crazy Nazi who throws children into concentration Camps." Really now...who's crazy?

 

[JoeB131]

"...Trump is a Crazy Nazi who throws children into concentration Camps." Really now...who's crazy?

Well, Trump, obviously. We still have a few thousand kids who we haven't gotten back to their parents yet.

There's something that isn't making sense to me on this.

Let's assume that this whole thing is true, that an important person at the White House wrote this editorial as an account of this group of people who are manipulating as much as possible around Trump to protect the country.

Why would they expose this plot, one which they seem to think is working? Surely the person who wrote this knew they'll ultimately be exposed. Surely they know this will change things at the White House. So why would they let the cat out of the bag at this time?

The only two reasons I can come up with are (a) that they want to influence the November elections for some help in decreasing Trump's overall power, and (b) that they're hoping that we take a serious look at the 25th. What are your guesses?

I was going to start this in the CDZ, but let's see if we can get some serious thought here.
.

All the reasons listed in this thread, plus one more:
Are people trying to push Trump to the breaking point? Make him meltdown entirely? I don't think there's any hard evidence for the 25th, yet.

Wow, another good one. Actually, that might the most plausible one yet.

[Tommy Tainant]

Maybe it was a cry for help ? You are assumig that the writer is in control of the situation and working to a plan. Maybe he,or she, isnt and wanted to stir it up ?

I’m thinking it was some dude who got his ego stomped and this was some teenage tantrum letter. I’m thinking it has zero effect on Trumps agenda.

Yeah, could be.

Some pretty interesting theories here so far.

If this person really exists and is outed, the left will take care of him. It is likely he would be a hero to those on the left, and immediately get a high level position at CNN or MSNBC.

Lets start...

The disarray in the White House is not the Left's fault. I know there are people here that believe everything bad in the world must be from the Left and every good from the Right...

The NYT op-ed was written by a conservative... He said it in the article... He was chosen by Trump to serve the country not Trump...

Bob Woodward is not from the Left... He is one of the best investigative journalists ever in America.

Trump erratic behaviour is not caused by the Left...

The Left arrange a meeting with Russians to 'get dirt on Clinton'...

The Left didn't numerous campaign members break the law. The laws are serious and carry serious time...

The Left didn't triple inflation and increase borrowing to over a trillion a year...

I didn't blame the left in my prior post. However, it is my opinion that the left will do what they can to protect this person, whoever it is.

Correction, the left will do whatever it takes to take Trump out. Including writing this op/ed and attributing it to someone in the administration.

It's tough to imagine the name won't come out at some point.

So the motivations will probably be pretty obvious.

Possible reasons:

This person was going to quit anyways so they made some extra cash from the alt-left. This person was trying to hurt Trump before the mid-terms. This person was trying to help promote Woodwards book. This person doesn't exist and it's just a ruse to turn Trump paranoid in the WH.

 

[JLW]

The writer was someone who is concerned about the country as well as someone who may dislike Trump personally, which is nearly everyone who knows him,

It can't be real. I think it's clear that journalists are going to be releasing opinion pieces from roughly 300 different publications to influence the election. They tipped it off a couple of weeks ago. This is just a story that supposedly reinforces a false narrative that Trump is nuts. The Democrats keep repeating this lie in every speech, every hearing, every time they can get cameras to focus on them. They're trying to act like they're saving us from a dangerous dictator. The problem with that is Trump is trying to protect us from THEM.

This op-ed crossed the line. If true, it shows an actual espionage operation is ongoing inside the WH.
It also proved, if true, that there is a Deep-state willing to do anything to stop him.
So on one hand you have people spying on Trump, despite the Deep-State claiming that they aren't.
All of the leaks are either BS or there is some janitor listening in on Trump meetings.

Here's the rub.....if there was any truth to Russian Collusion, a spy or a mole would have been able to prove it by now.
Any Democrat that tries to take advantage of this fake story is pretty stupid, because it only proves that Trump was right all along.
Whoever it is, they're guilty of sedition/treason. If this person really exists, then they are not only undermining the lawful operation of the government, but this person is subject to not only firing, but a long prison term. Course Liz Warren has already foolishly jumped on it. Everyone else, so far, has tried to stay clear of it, because they know how dangerous this situation can become if true.

Or it’s a fake on Trumps end.

 

[Correll]

What an interesting question, I wish I'd thought of it. Off hand I can think of two answers; one, that the author is doing some private arse covering to alleviate the shame of belonging to the current administration; two, that the author has an agenda he/she believes will be advanced by this letter.
I don't know what that agenda may be but it seems obvious to be negative to Trump. Whether it's to shame the relevant parties into Art 25 action, to influence the mid-term elections, to undermine Trump for 2020, to encourage Congress to legislate limits on Trump's options, or all or none of the above is beyond me.

Holy crap, hadn't thought of that, and it should be at the top of the list: Some kind of personal professional agenda.

This is DC, after all.

Surely this person would know they would be outed, and is anticipating/hoping for some kind of reward or advancement.
.

Deep Throat was hidden for decades. Your initial guess that it is someone trying to influence the mid terms is likely true.

Good reasons, but I suspect Trump became paranoid and rightly so, long ago. The establishment wants him gone and he knows it.

 

[ColonelAngus]

I think it is pure fiction. If no one will stand behind it, I don’t trust it.

I have another anonymous op-ed piece for everyone:

Statists set up Trump and Obama knew all about it. Obama is a fascist.

I think it's fair to wonder if it's real. It's definitely fishy in some ways.

At the same time, we've completely lost our shit, and I don't think I'd be surprised by any name, if it were real.

But given Trump's behaviors since the day he came down the escalator - behaviors proudly cheered on by his followers - any of this is possible.

[ColonelAngus]

What was striking about the supposed OpEd is that the cowardly fuck admits that Trumps policies are working, they just don’t like that he is mean in meetings.



Whiny cvnt.

Since when is it bad to be a diva and an asshole. That’s HIllary to a T.
