Bannon, and his associates became quickly outnumbered in the White House. When I kept reading that McMasters was removing Bannon supporters who believed in Trump’s vision, I knew the momentum had swung in the wrong direction, and was not yet done swinging.
Plus the fact that so many Govt. workers still loyal to Obama have been allowed to keep their positions with open intentions of blocking anything Trump wants to do. EPA is one of the few exceptions to that.
It has also been telling that the president has allowed the Atty. Gen. to stay in his position, despite Sessions appearing to be largely ineffectual and removed from the action.
I agree with you all except Sessions. The FBI doesn’t announce investigations publicly and I’m not sure there is more than Trump wanting to blame someone other than himself for the whole SC process.
But altogether, yes—the killer for me was when 6+ months in not only was Trump deluded about naming Kelly his CoS—but Bannon reportedly recommended him as well.
It seems both men get fooled by those who flatter and otherwise kiss up to them. A typical shortcoming of narcissists.
