The most disturbing aspect of the New York Times op-ed by an anonymous ¡°senior official in the Trump administration¡± isn¡¯t its content. The content isn¡¯t significant enough to make an impression.

¡°Meetings with [President Trump] veer off topic and off the rails, he engages in repetitive rants, and his impulsiveness results in half-baked, ill-informed and occasionally reckless decisions that have to be walked back,¡± writes Anonymous. The ¡°revelation¡± that Trump rambles incoherently and can¡¯t keep a thought straight is not news to anyone who has watched Trump speak more than a minute and a half.

What is scary is that the stewards of a grand 167-year-old publishing institution can cavalierly abandon the basic standards of journalism in search of a social media splash in their tepid jihad against a sitting president.
