When everyone is on board with the White House talking points.
Presidential adviser and Fox host Sean Hannity: "This is a national emergency, it's time to build the wall."
Presidential adviser and Fox host Lou Dobbs: "This president is leading the nation on a national emergency that only he can solve and has the political will. The American people, all they need is a strong leader. He's it."

1. Trump’s Fox cabinet returned from vacation yesterday and urged him to “stay strong” on the shutdown. mm4a.org/4Qt
2. For the first 10 days, Trump had to watch the B-team cover his shutdown. But now Hannity, Dobbs, and company are back, and they are continuing to egg him on.
3. Trump's Fox cabinet has been a problem for a while. But we are now moving toward a dynamic where they possess real veto power over government actions.

Alright. Time to identify all of the Trump-Fox livetweets that I missed while I was off for the holidays.
I've nailed down around 20 Trump tweets that appear to respond to Fox programming. There are certainly more, but there are a few factors making it more complicated -- lots of tweets about the wall and Syria and the economy that could be, but are not definitively, live-tweets.
I'll start with 12/21.

Left, Fox & Friends, 7:06 am

Doocy: Will McConnell use the nuclear option to get the wall?
Earhartdt: "So far the president has not tweeted about that."

Right, Trump, 8:02 am

On Sept 5 I posted my theory regarding the Op-Ed. I ran the Essay through Turnitin.com, the Uber powerful online plagiarism-thwarting tool used by schools, universities & researchers. The OpE-Ed popped 100% Match to a USC student essay.
I pondered all the questions previously- maybe this was just a student writing ABOUT the Op-ed. No. I’ll show you why. 1. The student essay included the entire Op-Ed. Not an excerpt, not a quote. The whole piece NYT essay with one sentence revised.
Now why would a student turn a paper that is plaigiarized into a plaigiarism checker? That bothered me. At first I thought it was a student. I even found that Nancy Pelosi’s grandson attends USC, majoring economics. But his writing style scores 7th grade Lexile. It’s not him.

1) This so called "opinion piece" has the markings of nytimes.com/2018/09/05/opi…p3F6Lb9Iipg
2) Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I feel compelled to say this, because I don't want to make any accusations here.
Let's just walk through the article together, and you tell me what you think.
I'm taking the perspective of a teacher here, checking a document for plagiarism.
3) If my hypothesis is accurate, then the New York Times is lying.
If my hypothesis is inaccurate, then this thread makes no difference whatsoever.

"I work for the president but... colleagues and I have vowed to thwart parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations" says someone who let him wrench thousands of children from their parents with no plan to reunite them, leaving all traumatized & hundreds likely orphaned.
I finally got a chance to read this, and all I feel is sick.
And ANGRY. The op-ed mentions the 25th amendment, but then instead of helping pursue that (though the writer seems to think it'd be justifiable), they decided to try to take the unhinged, dangerous incompetent from a 10 to a 9.8 so they can get their deregulation? EFFFFFFFF THAT

The NYT published an anonymous oped supposedly penned by a “senior” WH insider. Let’s take a look at it. nytimes.com/2018/09/05/opi…
“I work for the president but like-minded colleagues and I have vowed to thwart parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.”
So it’s supposedly at least three people. (You can’t have colleagues - plural without at least two others.) And they’re going to “thwart” “parts” of his agenda. How exactly would they do that? Steal his pen when he writes an executive order? Refuse to carry out his orders?

We believe our first duty is to this country, and the president continues to act in a manner that is detrimental to the health of our republic
That is why many Trump appointees have vowed to do what we can to preserve our democratic institutions while thwarting Mr. Trump’s more misguided impulses until he is out of office.

Whoa: Someone inside Trump Admin wrote an anonymous op-ed saying insiders are thwarting him: “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration. We work for the president but we have vowed to thwart parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations” nytimes.com/2018/09/05/opi…
Senior Trump official: "Our duty is to this country, and the president continues to act in a manner that is detrimental to the health of our republic. [We] vowed to do what we can to preserve our democratic institutions…[He's] amoral, impetuous, adversarial, petty, ineffective."
Exasperated Trump admin officials admit their daily disbelief at Trump’s comments and actions. “Most are working to insulate their operations from his whims.” This @nytimes op-ed confirms the Woodward book’s remarkable details of Trump’s unfitness & danger to the country.
