Miles Taylor is many things but he is no longer Anonymous. That was the word he hid behind in writing a damning essay in the New York Times from inside Donald Trump’s White House and a subsequent book.
Today, Taylor is speaking openly to anyone who will listen. The 35-year-old conducts part of a phone interview with the Guardian while boarding a flight from Chicago to north-west Michigan. At one point he breaks off to make sure two fellow passengers get to sit together. With the grateful couple safely ensconced, Taylor carries on talking. What if his unvarnished views on the former president trigger a display of Maga air rage?
