Quiet Resistance

An Op-Ed in The New York Times, Anonymously printed, States that the White House mood is worse Than what the press has hinted. The President’s “amoral,” And “erratic,” it declares, With “ill-informed decisions” Catching staffers unawares. The author, an official In the Trump administration, Is hoping that what he reveals Will jolt awake the nation. Asserting he and others Are resisting from within, He wants the world to know That what he claims is not just spin. The President is seething now With Tweeting calls of “Treason?” Denouncing, too, The Times, for holding Names back for no reason. As speculation builds, so many Choices would make sense. There’s even talk the writer May be Trump’s VP – Mike Pence. Whoever wrote the piece, though, Is a brave and daring soul And hopefully, he’ll shake Some people up, which was his goal.

I would be laughing so hard if it is the wife; I always go to the wife after the butler, but I do not know the butler, and I have seen how much the wife adores the man.
