A bombshell newspaper essay which detailed efforts to sideline Donald Trump from government was “just an obvious attempt to distract attention from this booming economy and [the president’s] record of success”, Vice-President Mike Pence has said.
Speaking to CBS’s Face the Nation in an interview for broadcast on Sunday, Pence also denied that White House officials discussed invoking the 25th amendment and removing Trump from power.
The comment piece was published by the New York Times on Wednesday, under the title I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration and attributed to a mystery “senior official”.
It came a day after the Washington Post detailed veteran journalist Bob Woodward’s reporting in a new book that Trump aides regularly disobeyed orders or removed papers from the president’s desk.
Though the author of the New York Times article said there had been discussion of removing the “amoral … impetuous, adversarial, petty and ineffective” Trump from power, he or she also drew attention to administration achievements – Republican goals including “effective deregulation, historic tax reform, a more robust military and more”.
The “adults in the room” had achieved this while working around the president’s “half-baked, ill-informed and occasionally reckless” decisions, the author said.
Amid criticism and denials and a gleeful Washington whodunnit – and with suspicion falling on Pence himself, given the use of “lodestar”, a word common in his public remarks – the vice-president told CBS he “wouldn’t know” who wrote the piece....

Sounds like McCain's “Steele Dossier”, Michael Isikoff and Yahoo “News”.
Liberals lie and love lies. They loved (and still do love) pathological liar Barack Hussein Obama.

THanks for posting.
A “have you stop beating your wife’ bit of yellow journalism.
Trump should have said, “This is anonymous fake news” and laughed it off. He gave the NYT hit piece credibility by getting upset about it. Fake News already had the stories to roll out after that.
IMHO, this was all a Psy Op to create division and paranoia. They know the “Russian collusion” investigation is dying. They’re trying to pivot to the 25th Amendment.
Notice this new Bob Woodward book has NOTHING about Russia. There’s nothing to it and they want to set up another fake crisis.
The American people have had it with ‘the adults in the room’... it’s why we elect President Trump.
It’s why we dumped Flake.
It’s why most of the world is starting to turn their backs on their so-called ‘elites’.
“just an obvious attempt to distract attention from this booming economy and [the president’s] record of success”, Vice-President Mike Pence has said.
Great response to this BS.
Yep.
The Deplorables ARE the adults in the room.
Anyone familiar with The Guardian understands that they ran this story to indicate that the thought of removing Trump is so pervasive in this country that it’s a matter of “when”,not “if”.
Read my latest thread.
This entire hit job may have been a fabrication to create dissention. It’s entirely created by the NY Times or one of its agents.
The use of “loadstone” was obviously crafted to create friction between Trump
and Pence.
Someone denies a ridiculous claim, and that’s news?
I deny participating in dwarf orgies.
When did you stop beating your wife, Mr. Pence?
I see this as 100% fake. What the media is doing is, via unverified sources, sow chaos and mistrust within the Trump administration.
That is all this is.
Soooo, Mr. Leaf, when did you stop participating in dwarf orgies?
;-)
The one time I had the ‘opportunity’ to talk to a news reporter, I hung up the phone. I don’t trust those bastards at all.
