Donald Trump Jr. 'Senior Official,' My Ass ... Op-Ed Written by 'Some Idiot!'

Donald Trump Jr. has a very clear picture of who's behind that anonymous New York Times op-ed -- and it ain't no "senior official" in the Trump administration.

We got the President's son heading into Vaucluse Thursday in NYC with his GF, Kimberly Guilfoyle, and when we brought up the NYT piece -- about White House staffers allegedly working against 45 -- junior unloaded.

Don didn't name names, but he made it clear he's not buying the Times' report that it was penned by a "senior Trump administration official." He's convinced it's the other end of the ladder.

We broke the story ... Trump's camp wants the Secret Service to launch an investigation to find the culprit.

There are all sorts of theories on the op-ed author's identity -- several cabinet members and even VP Mike Pence have been mentioned. All have denied any involvement and Trump's oldest son is, at least, inclined to believe them.
