Honestly that's the best possible name for it.
This history of the opinion pieces is an interesting one. I just wanted to point those two facts out to anyone who may have missed that in the headline.
More info if you're interested:

The Opinion section operates editorially independently from the rest of the newspaper. It is the section’s unique mission both to be the voice of The Times, and to challenge it. The Op-Ed pages were born, in part, because of the closing of New York’s top conservative newspaper, The New York Herald Tribune. They were created to be opposite the editorial pages — and not just physically.
“The purpose of the Op. Ed. page is neither to reinforce nor to counterbalance The Times’s own editorial position,” the introduction to the newly created opinion pages stated in 1970. “The objective is rather to afford greater opportunity for exploration of issues and presentation of new insights and new ideas by writers and thinkers who have no institutional connection with The Times and whose views will very frequently be completely divergent from our own.”
Just to highlight that last bit: The opinions are frequently chosen to be completely divergent from those held by the NYT staff.

Well, it's an opinion piece, and a guest writing it, so there's that.

I'm curious. What do you mean by incoherent and ultimately pointless.
I found the story pretty simple to follow, so I'm not sure what you mean there.
As far as ultimately pointless, do you mean the writing was bad or do you mean the outcome was bleak?
I'm not saying I want to see an all-GOP cast do a live action reenactment of Lord of the Flies, but can trump be piggy? He even gets to do a speech!
