Re: “Hunt is on for writer of piece that rips Trump”:

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, referring to the anonymous writer of The New York Times Op-Ed, said, “he is not putting country first, but putting himself and his ego ahead of the will of the American people. This coward should do the right thing and resign.”

This may be partly true of the Op-Ed writer, but I believe that this is mostly true about President Donald Trump himself. By his insistence that he has done nothing wrong, he is putting himself and his ego first, and the United States a very distant second.

The Wall Street Journal has it wrong, we are under no pressure to make a deal with China, they are under pressure to make a deal with us. Our markets are surging, theirs are collapsing. We will soon be taking in Billions in Tariffs & making products at home. If we meet, we meet?

Here are highlights from Stage 17 of the Tour of Spain.

Friday, President Donald Trump ordered U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the Department of Justice to investigate, identify and presumably prosecute the anonymous high government official who authored the inside account of how he or she and others are mounting a resistance to the president’s most dangerous notions and directives to protect the country from his malice and folly. The White House has mounted an extensive counterattack based not on evidence to the contrary of what was claimed in The New York Times op-ed, but strictly on the anonymity of the author whom the Times reports is known to its editors.

No clearer parallel could be drawn to Deep Throat of Watergate fame. Yet, obviously, if the anonymous Deep Throat—later identified as FBI Associate Director Mark Felt—had been identified during the investigation of the Watergate scandal and fired from his job at the FBI, as President Richard Nixon would certainly have desired, Nixon would likely have survived the Watergate scandal and continued through his second term surreptitiously undermining our democracy.

Anonymity isn’t the question; truth is. If what was written in the Times is true, it is time for others in the White House who know this truth to come out in concert and announce it so. Then it is time for the Congress to begin impeachment proceedings to rid us of the menace of Donald Trump.
