In an article in The New York Times, an official in the New York Times wrote that many senior officials in the Trump administration were working to disrupt aspects of his agenda to protect the country from his impulses, which Trump called treason, while his deputy , Mike Pence, and Foreign Secretary Mike Pompeo, have been linked to the article.
The official, whose name was not published, spoke of "early whispers" among members of the Trump administration to take steps to oust him from office, but added they had decided not to avoid a constitutional crisis. The root of the problem lies in Trump's lack of moral responsibility and lack of adherence to any clear principles guiding his decisions, the official wrote.
Trump was asked about the column during a White House campaign, calling it a "hollow article" and describing the New York Times as "a failure" and talking about economic achievements he said demonstrated his leadership. "No one will approach my defeat in 2020, given what we have achieved," he said. Then the Republican president wrote a one-word message on Twitter: "Treason?"
"If the anonymous anonymous person actually exists, the Times, for purposes of national security, must immediately forward it or transmit it to the government," he said in another tweet. The New York Times said it took a rare step by publishing an opinion piece written by the official under an agreement requiring it to keep his name secret. She said the official might have lost his job had she revealed his name. The article added to some accusations that Trump was an unstable figure who was not fit for the presidency and was likely to renew some Democrats' recent debate about whether the president could be held accountable for his removal if they took control of the House of Representatives in the November elections.
There was immediate speculation about the author's personality, whether he was inside the White House or working for another government agency. "In light of the instability that many saw, there were early whispers within the administration calling for the 25-year amendment to begin a complex process of isolating the president," the official wrote in The New York Times. "But no one wanted to rush a constitutional crisis, so we will do what we can to guide the administration in the right direction until it ends in one way or another." For his part, Mike Pompeo, said yesterday, he is not the author of the article and considered it «unfortunate».
"No one should be surprised that the liberal New York Times, which has repeatedly attacked the administration, chose to publish this article," Pompeo said in New Delhi. "If this newspaper was accurate, it would not have chosen to take the words of a lousy, deceitful and a bad player," he told reporters. "I'm starting from the principle that if you do not want to carry out the commander's will, you have one choice: to leave. Instead, according to the New York Times, this person chose not only to stay, As well as undermining what President Trump and this administration are trying to do. " Mike Bens also confirmed yesterday that "the vice president signs articles he writes" and is not the author of the article. "The New York Times should be ashamed, as was the person who wrote this false, irrational and cowardly article," wrote Pew Press Director Jarud Eigen. "We are above these amateur acts."
