While I don’t think Trump did it, he has pulled stunts somewhat similar to this in the past. It would be intersting if hr did.

[To the objection] Someone else could have authored it and had this official to the “op ed writing” though it’s unlikely, it’s not impossible.

The NYTimes stated just above the anonymous opinion that they know who the official is, so I think it's safe to say that it wasn't written by Trump.

Like what? Could you name several instances of Trump publishing an article in a major newspaper under false name criticizing himself?

There are a few reported instances, but you can search. Here is one: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m10_rOHalIM

OK, he did pretend to be his own publicist, but he didn't criticize himself, on the contrary - he did that to praise himself in third person.
