President Donald Trump is reportedly having a meltdown over the anonymous New York Times op-ed published Wednesday. According to Washington Post reporter Phillip Rucker said that his sources are confirming the president is "fuming."
The op-ed was unusual enough for the Women for Trump PAC founder to call on Vice President Mike Pence to intervene in what's going on at the White House. However, some think Pence was the author behind the story.
Trump has threatened to use "national security" to find the writer behind the op-ed and indicated he thought it was treasonous.
It prompted many activists on social media to laugh, mock and diminish the president and his team. You can see the best below:
