President Trump denounced what he called a “gutless editorial” posted by the New York Times, “an essay written by an unnamed administration official claiming that advisers to the president were deliberately trying to thwart his ‘misguided impulses’ from the inside,” the New York Times reports.
Said Trump: “We have somebody in what I call the failing New York Times talking about he’s part of the resistance within the Trump administration. This is what we have to deal with.”
Washington Post: “The anonymous nature of the column is likely to intensify a persistent suspicion among Trump supporters — that a ‘deep state’ within the federal government is actively working against him and his agenda.”
