Just a theory but I think the end game is to protect the GOP a bit by saying “see we tried to stop him, we care about our country” when things go awry. The timing is likely directly related to the excerpts from Woodward.

All of this may absolutely be true regarding Trump...it doesnt seem far fetched. However, what's the end game here in writing this and sending it to the ny times? Really effing weird.

I'm betting it's written by someone with higher aspirations and they're using this as an insurance policy on the rest of their careers.

Possibly.....my other thought is regardless even if it is true, I think its complete chickenshit by that "author"

I agree, you signed on to work with Trump. You knew what you were getting into, it's not right that you anonymously try to protect yourself after the fact. If it's too hot just get out of the oven and resign.

Fake or not I am hopeful there are reasonable adults using common sense in the administration while keeping a watchful eye on the shit show.

I think Nikes campaign is going to blow cash up in their face.

Looks like you were right

American wages unexpectedly climbed in August by the most since the recession ended in 2009 and hiring rose by more than forecast, keeping the Federal Reserve on track to lift interest rates this month and making another hike in December more likely.

Average hourly earnings for private workers increased 2.9 percent from a year earlier, a Labor Department report showed Friday, exceeding all estimates in a Bloomberg survey and the median projection for 2.7 percent. Nonfarm payrolls rose 201,000 from the prior month, topping the median forecast for 190,000 jobs. The unemployment rate was unchanged at 3.9 percent, still near the lowest since the 1960s.

Whoopee, The inflation rate was 2.1

Wages have increased this entire time. They just haven’t increased higher than inflation. In other news, the sky is still blue. A .6% spot over inflation isn’t going to move the needle much but it’s something.

Today, let's not focus on what divides and separates us, but instead remember a moment in time that we came together as a country and as a people.
