The fishiest thing about that op-ed is the way it presents Trump foolishly doing X and his minions then busily but secretly doing not-X as damage control. The reason this is fishy is because it's an explicit feature of Trump's management style, not a secret and not a failure!

Trump's explicit about hiring people who disagree with him, and trusting them to do their jobs. This is well-known in, eg, his relationship with Mattis. He delegates, and uses his hiring and firing power to exert control. That's how he's always operated, and it works for him.

Given that state of affairs, which has been clear for a while to anyone not panicking over the apocalypse, it seems pretty clear that the op-ed is disinformation. Either it's Trump baiting the press again, or it's some other faction telling them what they want to hear.
