  An anonymous Trump administration official confessed in an opinion piece published last week that many senior officials "are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.
  Jennifer Palmieri, former communications director for President Barack Obama, noted that "this person could easily be someone most of us have never heard of"—'for example, a deputy of a department most voters don't know.
  Indeed, the piece seemed written deliberately to send the president down a nasty rabbit hole with rants and recriminations—the exact behavior to which the unknown author objected.
  Trump cited the good economic news under his watch—4 million jobs created, 400,000 new manufacturing jobs and record unemployment—all claims that were close enough to accurate and worthy of praise. And he was right that he does not get enough credit for the strong economy.
  Like the anonymous author, I support Trump's commitment to deregulation and increasing military spending. I strongly approve of his Supreme Court picks, his decision to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem and his decision to reach out to Egypt after President Obama.
