One word in a New York Times op-ed written by an anonymous senior Trump administration official has captivated people on social media.
The op-ed claims there’s a secret resistance against President Donald Trump in the White House. It set off a firestorm online after it was published Wednesday, and now people are trying to identify the author.
Some have latched on to the word “lodestar” as a possible clue.
