After The New York Times published an anonymous op-ed by someone claiming to be actively, deliberately and continuously torpedoing President Trump’s agenda from a top position within his administration, the author was hailed as a patriotic whistleblower. Never mind that the president was duly elected, or that he’s delivering a booming economy and muscular national security policies, or that the writer’s efforts to undermine him are clearly treacherous. The author was celebrated for selflessly assisting a covert coup to eliminate the singular menace sitting in the Oval Office.
