This article, written by a bureaucrat inside the Trump administration, really shows the grip the mainstream of the capitalist class still has. It shows that Trump will still have a ways to go to institute pure one-man rule. Most important, it dispels the silly notion of the "deep state". As the writer says, ""This isn’t the work of the so-called deep state. It’s the work of the steady state." Or, in other words, of the capitalist state. "*The Times today is taking the rare step of publishing an anonymous Op-Ed essay. We have done so at the request of the author, a senior official in the Trump administration whose identity is known to us and whose job would be jeopardized by its disclosure.

It’s not just that the special counsel looms large. Or that the country is bitterly divided over Mr. Trump’s leadership. Or even that his party might well lose the House to an opposition hellbent on his downfall. The dilemma — which he does not fully grasp — is that many of the senior officials in his own administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations."
