President Trump fired off a defiant statement of resolve and defiance via Twitter late Wednesday night, telling supporters (and everyone else): “I’m draining the Swamp, and the Swamp is trying to fight back. Don’t worry, we will win!”

Trump’s tweet comes after hours of Swamp delirium at the New York Times’ publication of an anonymous op-ed supposedly written by a senior Trump administration official that describes the author and other unnamed members of the administration as conspiring against Trump for the claimed good of the country.

Trump labeled the op-ed treason and demanded the Times reveal the name of the author.

TREASON? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2018

Does the so-called “Senior Administration Official” really exist, or is it just the Failing New York Times with another phony source? If the GUTLESS anonymous person does indeed exist, the Times must, for National Security purposes, turn him/her over to government at once! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2018

Trump also addressed the op-ed in remarks to the White House press corps in front of a group of sheriffs gathered at the White House for a meeting with him.
