ARTICLEIt's the question everyonewants 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.

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.

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 Atlanticin 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.

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