Just another typical traitor liberal.

Some interesting points:

“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.“

Also (and especially for pawdawg who doesn’t like it when we criticize Trump without also saying nice things):

“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.

And you believe this crap from another gutless liberal right?

You believe this bullshit because you want to believe it. It's nothing more than pure propaganda that regularly comes out of the fake news corrupt media. I don't believe a damn thing they say anymore. How can you?

I didn’t say it. Someone on the inside wrote this op-ed. Now Trump is trying to figure out who did! Lol

Everything that is said here is plainly obvious and should be no surprise.

The guy who wrote it is a conservative. As he pointed out, Trump is not.

I suspect that Pence is the official that wrote the op-ed.

Now that is idiotic even for you my friend.

I like the part where this anonymous person lists some of Trump's successes, and then says they came in spite of, not because of, his leadership. Oh?

YET! those same great things did not happen under obummer, did not happen under GWB either (mostly). The only change has been....[drum roll]….Trump is now president! Ta dah!

Lol. CNN has clearly been spying on me. He made their list of top 12 possibilities.

I would be willing to bet that Pence, along with at least a few others on that list, are involved in the scheme to protect America from Trump.
