Trump Threatens Bannon With Ultimatum Over Kushner Rift: "Straighten It Out Or I Will"
Zero Hedge ^ | Apr 12, 2017 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 04/12/2017 12:14:33 PM PDT by Trump_vs_Evil_Witch

..... In a very terse but loaded statement, Trump downplayed Bannon's importance in crafting his 2016 campaign strategy and effectively offered him an ultimatum to clear up his issue with Jared Kushner or move on.....

...If Bannon goes, there's no one of similar status in the White House who has the status to push the nationalist agenda to Trump – and more centrist figures are already ascendant (Jivanka, Gary Cohn). Without Bannon's voice, this becomes a much more conventional White House. It would be an acute normalizing of the staff, although no one can normalize Trump....

....Of course, ousting Bannon is not without consequence for Trump. Bannon remains very popular at Breitbart and his ouster would likely be viewed as a move by Trump to the center which would almost certainly alienate his nationalist base in the Midwest.....

You can already see the loss of support by attacking conservatives and telling them they are the problem while following the rinos, is doing to Trump in the election last night,if people are honest.

I don’t recall casting my vote for a Trump/Bannon ticket. While Bannon has his perks, this isn’t the Bannon show.

Could mean anything. It’s not a career-ending threat. Media crying wolf again.

He told them both to work it out or he will.

I’ve told employees the same thing.

Trump earned my support while Bannon was still working for Lyin’ Ted.

I don’t get why this is such a big deal.

“Steve is a good guy, but I told THEM to straighten it out or I will.” (emphasis added)

I wouldn't break out in a cold sweat just yet. Trump wants a truce and is likelier to get it if nobody thinks they're indispensable. (But I hope Trump keeps in mind this truth: "Bannon remains very popular at Breitbart and his ouster would likely be viewed as a move by Trump to the center which would almost certainly alienate his nationalist base".)

“Look for a major loss of support in the next election.”

blah blah blah.

You guys still chasing down every rumor post to scream how you are going to help put a Dem ion the White House in 2020. How about just shut up and register Democrat, and be done with it, because the vast majority of us are not joining you.

Only you guys seem to think that Trump is remotely a Romney or Bush no matter what actual stuff he does because you are too damn busy licking up every tabloid rumor story that is tossed in front of you rather than look at what he is actually accomplishing.

Grown men can disagree but they need to to be men and agree to disagree and settle their WH fighting of name calling and running to media behind the scenes

Gannon should retain his dignity and immediately quit. We’ve been conned.

If President Trump gets too full of himself and pushes Bannon out, he will have cut his own throat. Perhaps Conway and a few others could still carry the conservative torch, but my faith would be severely shaken in the President's judgement were this to happen.

I can't think of a more foolish move that the President could make than to dump Steve Bannon. It would be a devastating sign that he has turned his back those who elected him. He'd better get his head straight, or he will lose real support—not just phony favorability ratings.

President Trump: are you listening, sir? Don't do this!

Whatever reason they had for being “conservative” I question if it is fealty to Christ. Fealty to human religion maybe. With God people are joyful for progress. With humanity people are always changing false idols for failure to be a one-and-done answer.

I call BS on this crap.

If President Trump REALLY had a problem with Bannon, he would tell us.

This is FAKE news.

You’re going to have to refresh my memory here because Bannon was one of the few conservative voices to hopped on the Trump train very early...

How about advising Bannon to swallow his pride? If it’s about God by definition it cannot be personal. Nobody has God in a cage.
