A senior administration official is sounding an alarm about President Donald Trump’s “amorality” and “impetuous” leadership style in an unsigned opinion piece published in The New York Times.
The newspaper describes the author of the unsigned column only as “a senior official in the Trump administration.” The White House is not immediately responding to a request for comment.
The writer says Trump aides are aware of the president’s faults and “we are trying to do what’s right even when Donald Trump won’t.”
The writer alleges “there were early whispers within the cabinet of invoking the 25th Amendment” because of the “instability” witnessed in the president.
The writer adds: “This isn’t the work of the so-called deep state. It’s the work of the steady state.”

Rather than a “shadow or parallel system of government” operating outside official channels, for him the deep state is the government.
It wasn't about restoring the rule of law: The House ignored the more serious violations by Trump that had been normalized by Obama and Bush.
The deep state, which is orchestrating the impeachment of Donald Trump, is the most ominous threat to democracy.
Not since Warren G. Harding’s sordid administration have so many grifters, crooks and cronies occupied positions of power in Washington.
The former Trump campaign manager's trial could mirror the five stages of grief following personal loss and tragedy: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
