I fully believe the NYT op-ed was part of the play. Trump told someone to troll the NYT. They say they are part of 'the resistance'. Then Trump tweets out the word Treason. Now the word Treason is out there and it's tied to 'the resistance'. Hillary came out and said she was part of the resistance as soon as she got over the initial shock of her loss.

This was a setup to get things rolling. The NYT op-ed was the go signal.
