The White House is scrambling to ferret out disloyal members of President Trump\u2019s inner circle after the New York Times published an anonymous op-ed Wednesday it says was written by a senior administration official claiming that a \u201cquiet resistance\u201d is underway seeking to constrain Trump\u2019s worst impulses. In the extraordinary op-ed, the unnamed official writes, \u201cMany of the senior officials in his own administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.\u201d We speak to Vince Warren, executive director of the Center for Constitutional Rights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

AMY<\/span> <\/span>GOODMAN<\/span>:<\/strong> <\/span>I wanted to end with this op-ed piece that has shocked the nation, the White House scrambling to ferret out disloyal members of President Trump\u2019s inner circle after <\/span>The New York Times <\/span>published an anonymous op-ed column today it says was written by a senior administration official claiming that a quiet resistance is underway seeking to constrain Trump\u2019s worst impulses.<\/p>\n

In this extraordinary piece, the unnamed official writes, \u201cMany of the senior officials in his own administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.\u201d The author goes on to write, \u201cOurs is not the popular \u2018resistance\u2019 of the left. We want the administration to succeed and think that many of its policies have already made America safer and more prosperous. But we believe our first duty is to our country, and the president continues to act in a manner that is detrimental to the health of our republic.\u201d<\/p>\n

The op-ed\u2019s author calls Trump impulsive, erratic, ill-informed and reckless with half-baked ideas, and the author claims members of Trump\u2019s cabinet discussed invoking the Constitution\u2019s 25th Amendment but later decided against it \u2014 the amendment allowing for the removal of a president who is unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office. Vince Warren?<\/p>\n
