It's the question everyone wants to know. Just who is the Trump staffer that wrote an anonymous New York Times op-ed ragging on their boss?

Over the past 24 hours, people have tried to figure out which one of Trump's chums described the president as amoral and impulsive, claiming staffers are doing what they can to stop him from messing things up.

The Washington Post reported Trump aides were trying to analyze language patterns to rat out the insider.

CNN published a list of 13 suspects, which includes the likes of Jeff Sessions and Vice President Mike Pence. The latter denied penning it. The BBC looked at sentence length, and compared them with the earlier writings of certain Trump staffers.

Also on the hunt were the boffins at WikiLeaks, hunching over their computers to perform an impressive-sounding "statistical analysis," looking at the language used in the anonymous op-ed.

They did all that work, only to reveal findings that are glaringly obvious: The op-ed was likely written by, wait for it — an older, conservative male. Like, no shit, Sherlock.

Based upon our statistical analysis of the language used in the New York Times anonymous Op Ed, the author is likely to be an older (58%), conservative (92%) male (66-87%). Sources should protect themselves by consulting "adverserial stylometry" and "forensic author profiling". pic.twitter.com/yfU22OveTq — WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) September 7, 2018

You don't have to be a political expert to know that the Trump administration is mainly made up of males, especially those with an affinity for conservative politics, and are older.

An analysis from The Atlantic in March found that twice as many men compared to women were appointed to positions within the Trump administration.

Suitably, people on the internet roasted WikiLeaks for its underwhelming (yet let's face it, hilarious) revelation.

An older conservative male. Got it. That sure narrows it down. https://t.co/s140iVvo0k — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) September 7, 2018

Gee you think? Older conservative male? Well that certainly clears it up for us. https://t.co/zwmMaXXrIr — Brian J. Karem (@BrianKarem) September 7, 2018

You needed statistical analysis to figure that out? LOL https://t.co/F9RiR6GonQ — Ella Disenchanted (@McTestaInc) September 7, 2018

Now that we're back to square one after that disappointment, please, if you could let us know, did you write the op-ed?
