The mystery of an insider article on Donald Trump’s White House has finally been uncovered. After two good years, a former Department of Homeland Security chief of staff Miles Taylor revealed himself as the perpetrator on Wednesday.
Taylor’s stance on Trump comes as no surprise: He has been a sharp critic of the president for some time. However, the author’s description when the article was published in September 2018 as “top officials of the Trump administration” had led many to suspect that “Anonymous” was someone from the inner circle of power in the White House.
At the time, the author described himself as part of a “resistance” against Trump and accused the president of “undemocratic impulses” and unpredictable behavior. The “New York Times” opinion page article and a later book had sparked a feverish search of the White House for the possible perpetrator with various suspicions.
Taylor: “Trump has shown that he is a man without character”
As the chief of staff to Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen, Taylor was involved in the implementation of controversial decisions of the Trump administration. These include the entry ban for citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries and the separation of the children of illegal immigrants from their parents at the United States border. Trump’s spokeswoman, Kayleigh McEnany, described Taylor on Wednesday as “inefficient and incompetent” at his job, for which he was promptly fired.
Taylor wrote Wednesday: “I am a Republican and I wanted this president to succeed.” Trump has shown time and again that he is “a man without character.” His opinion was shared by many at the highest levels of government. In recent weeks, several other former Trump administration employees had also voiced their support for challenger Joe Biden in next Tuesday’s presidential election.
