“I work for the horror clown in chief but like-minded colleagues and I have vowed to thwart parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.”

The Boob is taking the rare step of publishing an anonymous column. We have done so at the request of the author, a senior official in the Pennywise administration whose identity is known to us and whose life would be jeopardized by its disclosure. We believe publishing this essay anonymously is the only way to deliver an important perspective to our readers who may not have noticed that an evil horror clown has occupied the White House and is luring children into the sewers under Pennsylvania Avenue.

Pennywise the Clown is facing a test to his presidency unlike any faced by a modern American leader.

It’s not just that a rag tag band of intrepid kids has bravely entered his lair looking to confront him — he’ll almost certainly eat them all — or that the country is bitterly divided over Mr. Clown’s leadership.

The dilemma — which he does not fully grasp — is that many of the senior officials in his own administration are working diligently from within to frustrate his darkest schemes.
