The New York Times: I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump AdministrationI work for the president but like-minded colleagues and I have vowed to thwart parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations. 9/5/18

I agree with all of this except for the parts about it being well-crafted and effective.

I think the writer(s) grossly misjudged all of their potential audiences because they were blinded by their own egotism, and because they never talk to to anyone outside their collaborator circle. This is the voice of a person who is obviously so impressed with himself as a hero that he’s never considered how much of an asshat he would look like to other people.
