his actions. this isn't the work of the so-called deep state, he writes. it's the work of the steady state. the bigger concern is not what mr. trump has done to the presidency but what we have allowed him to do to us, we have sunk low with him and allowed our discourse to be stripped of civility. the op-ed contends top administration officials are trying to save the country from the president they serve. americans should know there are adults in the room. we fully recognize what is happening, and we are trying to do what's right even when donald trump won't. there's a quiet resistance within the administration of people choosing to put country the presidenblasted the anonymous official as gutless. >> nobody has ever done in less 've done.year period what so when you tell me about some anonymous source within the administration, probably who's failing and probably here for all the wrong reasons, no.
