You joke, but I wouldn't put it past him to have one of his people do that so he could play the victim.

Response from Trump:
WASHINGTON (AP) — In a striking anonymous broadside, a senior Trump administration official wrote an opinion piece in The New York Times on Wednesday claiming to be part of a group of people “working diligently from within” to impede President Donald Trump’s “worst inclinations” and ill-conceived parts of his agenda.
Trump said it was a “gutless editorial” and “really a disgrace,” and his press secretary called on the official to resign.
Trump later tweeted, “TREASON?” and in an extraordinary move demanded that if “the GUTLESS anonymous person does indeed exist, the Times must, for National Security purposes, turn him/her over to government at once!”

Treason is a bit strong, technically, but I think it'd be fair to call it sabotage.

I can’t even take these articles seriously. They have a stockpile of fake news, there’s a new story every 2 weeks. No substance, no proof, just ‘Trump is bad man.’

Deep-state Anon writes a psy-op.

This seems fishy. If you're working from within, and you have any amount of sway, why oust yourself? Anonymous or not, it defeats the purpose. All this does is cause chaos and mistrust within the administration this anonymous staffer claims to support.
Furthermore, am I really supposed to believe that the whitehouse doesn't have surveillance on every single person who works there? I find it really hard to believe this person's identity is really a mystery to them.
