‘Anonymous’ dude is here is explain how Donald Trump is a cruel idiot, shock

U.S.-WASHINGTON D.C.-TRUMP-BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP

I wonder if a major publishing house would give me a book deal if I pitched a book where I, writing anonymously, described how water is wet, the sky is blue and Donald Trump is a cruel idiot. Probably not. But someone did get that book deal. A Warning by Anonymous will be released soon, and the Washington Post has an early excerpt:

Senior Trump administration officials considered resigning en masse last year in a “midnight self-massacre” to sound a public alarm about President Trump’s conduct, but rejected the idea because they believed it would further destabilize an already teetering government, according to a new book by an unnamed author.

In “A Warning” by Anonymous, obtained by The Washington Post ahead of its release, a writer described only as “a senior official in the Trump administration” paints a chilling portrait of the president as cruel, inept and a danger to the nation he was elected to lead.

The author — who first captured attention in 2018 as the unidentified author of a New York Times opinion column — describes Trump careening from one self-inflicted crisis to the next, “like a twelve-year-old in an air traffic control tower, pushing the buttons of government indiscriminately, indifferent to the planes skidding across the runway and the flights frantically diverting away from the airport.”

The book is an unsparing character study of Trump, from his morality to his intellectual depth, which the author writes is based on his or her observations and experiences. The author claims many other current and former administration officials share his or her views. The 259-page book — which was published by Twelve, an imprint of Grand Central Publishing/Hachette Book Group, and goes on sale Nov. 19 — does not re-create many specific episodes in vivid detail, which the author writes was intentional to protect his or her identity.

“I have decided to publish this anonymously because this debate is not about me,” the author writes. “It is about us. It is about how we want the presidency to reflect our country, and that is where the discussion should center. Some will call this ‘cowardice.’ My feelings are not hurt by the accusation. Nor am I unprepared to attach my name to criticism of President Trump. I may do so, in due course.”

I don’t really give a sh-t about this dude’s need for anonymity. Unlike the whistleblower on the Ukrainian call, there’s no evidence that Mr. Anonymous is actually doing work to thwart Donald Trump and Trump’s true-believer Nazi minions like Stephen Miller. Mr. Anonymous is just publicly stating sh-t we already know. I get that senior staffers are concerned about how sh-tty it could get if they weren’t there to say “no” to Trump sometimes. But I hope to God all of those motherf–kers are lining up to spill all the treason tea during the public impeachment hearings.

As for the Ukrainian-call whistleblower, he’s literally sending cease-and-desist letters to Donald Trump because Trump keeps breaking laws and targeting this poor dude.

    What’s the expression? Say it with your chest?

    If he’s such a threat to this country, say it. Use your name. Tell us who you are (my guess is John Kelly? but who knows.) Name the others who agreed with you.

    • Christo says:

      There’s a huge ad to donate $5 to Lindsay Graham at the bottom of my Celebitchy page…lol. Can we block these?

    • Lorelei says:

      @Becks ITA. I saw this on the Today Show this morning and it made me furious. This person wants to make a ton of money with this book without actually doing anything to help the country. If they cared as much as they claim, they would say this publicly with all of the other people the author claims agree.

      • Effeff says:

        The publisher has actually said that the anonymous author received no advance and has committed to donating all profits to US charities. So ostensibly he isn’t making any money off of the book.

  2. JRenee says:

    I believe folks that have inside information and reveal it in detail, are at risk from the zealots. It’s ridiculous that people are being threatened and such..

  3. Rapunzel says:

    He won’t be happy till the whistleblower is dead or changes his story. This is criminal witness tampering, imo.

    • holly hobby says:

      What about InfoWars and that tub threatening jurors on the Stone case. He should be hauled off too.

  4. Christin says:

    Are we sure this anonymous person is a male? My bet would be KAC. It’s someone who wants to have their cake and eat it, too.

    The real heroes are the career staff who are going to hearings and testifying, not writing a book and claiming they will give away “most” of the profits.

    • DaisySharp says:

      A lot of people are guessing Kellyanne. I don’t know. I can’t see it. But I really don’t know. I can’t stand this anonymous stuff though. It’s meaningless until you put your name and face on it. And like we didn’t all know he’s cruel, unstable, and childish? Hello!

    • MissG says:

      I agree that it’s a woman. It’s either KAC or Kirstjen Nielsen.

      • SFO says:

        Ms. Lock up the children and throw the keys away does not have any kind of moral compass that would allow her to write such a book.

    • Becks1 says:

      Ooh Kellyanne could be a good guess, this could be her way of keeping peace in her marriage, lol. But if it is, what a hypocrite, because she helped to create this monster.

      Honestly I think a lot of these people are okay with his actions now (sure he may be erratic, but they’re getting what they want out of him), but want it known that they aren’t really okay with him and that they did try to stop him and they had to stay for the good of the country and when he’s not in office REMEMBER THAT TIME SOMEONE WROTE A BOOK AND IT WAS ME AND I’M NOT ALL BAD!!!!!!

      But history will remember.

    • Nic919 says:

      I also think it is her. She was never a hard core trumper but was doing this for her career. I already think what George is doing is helping them hedge their bets because dump is sundowning more rapidly and it’s becoming obvious.

      But I agree with everyone who says the real heroes are the career people testifying and dealing with the deplorable bs from the White House and the dump kids.

      • Tourmaline says:

        I totally agree, my guess is Anonymous is Kellyanne working closely together with George Conway. She’s a crafty character and would be up for something audacious like this. George regularly tweets psychology, narcissism, etc. type critiques which dovetails nicely with things Anonymous wrote. I just don’t buy that Kellyanne at heart is a true believer who just overlooks that her husband and father of her four children spends all day tweeting criticism at her boss. She’s in on it with George.

    • Christin says:

      My first guess was John Kelly, but now that we have a book, I’ve changed to a slightly younger guess.

      Conway or Nielsen are definitely possibilities that fit someone who wants to come out on a better side of things and have more options, once it all hits the fan.

    • Lorelei says:

      After the anonymous op-ed, I remember reading some compelling analysis suggesting the writing style matched up with Nielsen’s. I can’t remember the details, but at the time I was convinced.

      I hope it’s not Kellyanne because I don’t want her to make one more penny off of all of the ways she’s helped to destroy our country. (I don’t think ANYONE should profit from this “anonymous” BS but I despise her so much, as well as her husband and his games.)

      • 10KTurtle says:

        I saw the article comparing the writing/speaking style to Nielsen, but Nazi Barbie was all in on the baby cages, not putting up “resistance.” I think it has to be KAC- how/why else could her marriage be surviving? [Although she has done nothing to “resist” either, and rumor inside the Beltway has it that the Conways have been living separately all year are still married only on paper.]

      • Tourmaline says:

        I think it’s much more likely to be Kellyanne than Kirstjen Nielsen.
        Kellyanne IMO is much more strategic thinking and bold, and isn’t the point that this person is still working in the WH, and Kirstjen Nielsen is not.

      • holly hobby says:

        Yes I read that too. Similar phrasings. It maybe Nielsen.

  5. Tiffany says:

    That air traffic controller remark was totally uncalled for…..the twelve year old’s out there.

    I know and met plenty with more self control than this idiot.

  6. Lowercaselila says:

    So, Donald Trump is fool who’s completely unfit for office .. well Anonymous, tell us something we don’t know. Anonymous should resign and come forward. It will give credibility to this book. Rachel Maddow said on her show that proceeds from the book are going to a charity. Didn’t say what charity it was. It could be going to some conservative charity. Who knows.

    • Christin says:

      Last night I heard that the author allegedly did not want an advance and that “most” profits would go to charities supporting freedom of the press(?). It was also mentioned that the author will be holding some money for potential “legal fees”.

      Wonder if the author will honor this pledge, or hang on to the profits indefinitely? Sort of like their boss has been reported to do…

  7. Erin says:

    “Well, we were gonna do this, then we were gonna do that, but in the end we decided to collect stories for our book deals and watch the world burn”. They can all march their complicit asses straight to hell as far as I’m concerned.

  8. FancyCatsup says:

    I thought it was Jon Huntsman, former ambassador to Russia and former presidential candidate

  9. Teebee says:

    I am glad this book is out there, though it will not change the minds of his base, nor make stronger the case for his critics. If not for anything, it will rankle Dumpster, add to his toxic legacy, perhaps embolden others to take a more public stance. Dumpster’s administration and Whitehouse of cards is on very unstable ground, every chink in his armour needs to be exploited. At this point anonymity is an advantage. He can not refute and tear apart them that he doesn’t know, yet. His defense is to pick apart the reputation and background of his critics. As long as he doesn’t have a direct target he has to suspect everyone. His discomfort and fragile ego hates being cornered.

    At this point I have no hope of the system being allowed to move forward unfettered. I don’t even know if he is defeatable in an election, the system seems too ripe for corruption, any result appears to be within reach if you game the system enough. So I must take comfort in his discomfort. That his coddled and precious life of privilege is over, that he is forever imprisoned in a faux gold brassy sheen that makes his nights that much more sleepless and his arteries that much more hardened.

    We know his weakness, and the presidency is a temp position. He has many years ahead of self-pity and wailing into his pillow. It’s a wholly inadequate comeuppance, but it’s all I got.

    The orange moron threatened to sue the WB atty for treason. Why doesn’t he leave the lawyering to the lawyers? Idiot.
