Everyone will be wondering who wrote the Op-Ed. My guess is that it was someone who has been part of the Trump administration from its inception with ties to the GOP establishment and interests in both foreign and domestic policy. The better question, however, is why?
My guess is that the real message of the Op-Ed was that the adults are still in charge, so you can vote for the GOP in November with a good conscience even if you think Trump is a man on golf cart. In my opinion, however, anyone who is counting on the “steady state” to keep him under control for four years is a fool.
