You’re right, but they’re not the only ones going hog wild on Bannon’s perfidy. From the comments at OANN:
‘At any rate, the media, and especially the establishment (”legacy” or “mainstream”) media, is abuzz, and has flocked to this story as quickly and surely as flies to a dungpile. It hasn’t had such an orgaistic fervor since at least last month’s Alabama election.’
Bannon has had plenty of time to correct any misquotes - he hasn’t done so. The silence on that front is deafening.
I have no problem with Bannon and Trump having a feud as long as both march is the same nationalist direction. Like Patton and Monty put aside differences in 1944 fought on the same team.
At this point Trump should form a patriot party centered on economic nationalism and immigration control.
Sadly, you are correct about that.
There is no hate in acknowledged that Bannon has provided damaging fodder to Trump’s enemies. That is a simple fact.
“...Jared and Ivanka are the biggest proponents of trading DACA for the border wall...”
If this is true (and it could be) this is the key to Bannon’s frustration.
This is not a defense of Bannon, however it is an important point in understanding the rift. It seems that for Bannon, building the border wall and no amnesty is very important to him, important enough to expose Kushner (if in fact, Kushner is the globalist amnesty influence on the President).
Bannon’s backstabbing is wrong and I obviously support the President over Bannon, however this could be the root of the problem.
I would not be completely surprised if this story is out there to confound the media ... we will see of course.
In the age of social media (which Bannon apparently doesn't use), not firing back immediately can be costly.
There is a female talk show host who used to work at brietbart. She’s pretty popular and I can’t recall her name. Brain fade on my part - you’d recognize her name. Good looking, she was on the cover of Nat. Review with a AR-15 and it gave the left the vapors. She talked about her time working under Bannon and had nothing good to say about him. There was clearly a lot of resentment there.
Bannon is a treasonous scumbag. But French is a delusional RINO.
Trump was Trump long before Bannon came along.
Good point.
There’s a story out today that Wolff has audiotapes backing up the quotations in the book. DC is a one party consent for recording phone calls. Likely they didn’t realize their ‘off the record’ comments were being recorded.
Whole thing was a mess. Bannon’s fault for letting this Wolff in the henhouse.
Don’t forget that while Bannon was there, many insiders started all sorts of rumors about him.
There is certainly a good deal of infighting within the Trump team.
Of course none of this was planned from the beginning for distraction purposes or the like.
Like it or not his Presidency depends on how he handles this issue. I am not optimistic about a resolution of DACA that will firm up his base.
His face implies that he has a drinking problem. It is red and flushed.
The media has made him out to be much more of a conservative icon than he ever truly was, because they like to smear him as a white suprematist.
Well all that is certainly true. However, conservatives have done their part. In the early days after Bannon was first brought into the WH, I ventured some relatively mild criticism of him (on this site). The blowback was ferocious. The mob formed right up, and they were out for blood.
Of course things are different now. But you’d almost have to be a survivor from the early days to know what it was like. Conservatives routinely listed Bannon as one of Trump’s few good picks. When Bannon left the WH, it was as if many conservatives’ dog had died. Jvanka-hate hate spiralled out of control, and black armbands [for mourning] were the order of the day.
There was a patch of tricky wording in your post, but very interesting about Rush. Ikn that Bannon cared about public opinion while he was in the WH. What he wanted was influence with Trump. The showdown came over Comey. Bannon wanted Trump to keep Comey on at the FBI, and Kushner wanted Comey fired. Comey was fired, and Bannon had the long knives out for Kushner ever after.
French and the NRO are the epitome of country club loser Republican poster boys and girls. They are not conservative and consider rank and file, every day working conservative Americans to be beneath them. Total elitist and arrogant party pukes...
