About I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration in brief
Anonymous essay was published by The New York Times on September 5, 2018. The author was described as a senior official working for the administration of U.S. president Donald Trump. Miles Taylor, the former chief of staff to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, revealed himself as the author. The op-ed criticizes Trump and states that many current members of the administration deliberately undermine his suggestions and orders for the good of the country. It also states that some cabinet members discussed using the Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution as a way to remove the president from power. Trump expressed outrage and called for an investigation; the author’s identity drew much speculation in the media, with over 30 senior administration officials denying their involvement. Some theories focused on the use of the words’steady state’, ‘lodestar’ and ‘first principles’ Some looked at the record of officials using certain words that appear in the essay which have a record of being used in the book ‘A Warning’ A Warning, a book also anonymously written by Taylor, was published on November 19, 2019.
The essay praised Senator John McCain, whose death occurred 11 days prior to the essay’s publication. This timing has been questioned as a possible calculated diversion, although The NewYork Times editorial board denied this. The paper said that they were working with a single author, not a group of officials and that the text was lightly edited by them, but not for the purpose of obscuring the writer’s identity. The newspaper’s editorial page editor, op-ing editor, and publisher knew the identity of the author but granted the person anonymity to protect them from reprisal.
