Adele Stans’ article in The American Prospect suggests the White House mutiny has been hatched at GOP Party Headquarters, not in the Deep State Liberal Establishment.

A New York Times essay by an unnamed administration official reads like the opening gambit in a push for a Pence presidency.

—

Yet a closer read of the essay shows the official is primarily concerned that the president has strayed far from the tenets of Republican Party orthodoxy on matters such as trade and foreign policy, rather than any subversion of the Constitution by a president who fired an FBI chief because an investigation into foreign meddling in U.S. elections may have called into question the president’s own legitimacy. The official writes, “In addition to his mass-marketing of the notion that the press is the ‘enemy of the people,’ President Trump’s impulses are generally anti-trade and anti-democratic.” Note that “anti-trade” precedes “anti-democratic,” in order, presumably, of importance.

As evidence of the president’s amorality, the official points to the fact that Trump ran for office as a Republican, but doesn’t govern like one. Others might first point to his bragging about grabbing women’s genitals, or his obvious racism, or his spouting of unfounded and dangerous conspiracy theories as evidence of moral deficiency a bit more chilling than Trump’s deviation from the party line.

The official does, however, applaud the president for the very Republican things he has done: the deficit-ballooning tax cut, environmentally dangerous deregulation, and, of course, “a robust military.”

The writer of the anonymous essay would have you believe that she or he is speaking to all who love the constitutional republic we call America. But the writer is really talking to people who love power and seek to maintain it via the Republican Party. Were that not the case, the official would come out of the shadows and blow the whistle on the boss, torpedoes be damned.

Not convinced? Note that the Donald has NOT blamed the Deep State, the MSM, the Intelligence Establishment, the Democratic Party, or any of the other Liberal bogeyman for this penetration of his White House. His statements and actions indicate he knows perfectly well this is not a mere mutiny, its a palace revolution.

I told you Trump was not the real villain in this piece…
