Bannon: "Everything On CNN/MSNBC, That's Pro-Wrestling," To Divert Attention From What's Going On
Real Clear Politics ^ | Oct 23 2017 ast | Posted By Tim Hains

Posted on 10/23/2017 11:38:46 AM PDT by drewh

"We’ve got a tough slog ahead of us," Bannon said about his "war" against "the establishment." "You have to put together a grassroots movement. If you don’t put your shoulders to the wheel, it’s not going to happen."

He also criticized speeches this week from former President Bush, who condemned Trump's brand of economic nationalism.

"President Bush, to me, embarrassed himself," Bannon said to applause. "His speechwriter wrote a high falutin speech. It's clear he didn't understand anything that he was talking about. He equates the industrial revolution, the agriculture revolution, globalization. He has no earthly idea whether he is coming or going — just like it was when he was president of the United States."

He noted: "I want to apologize upfront to any of the Bush folks outside, in this audience, OK? Because there has not been a more destructive presidency than George Bush's."

"Donald Trump knows all the games, he knows all the scams, he knows everything that goes down in Washington, D.C. They've tried to shake businessmen like Donald Trump down for years. The permanent political class that runs this country is one of the great dangers we face," Bannon said.

He added: "Everything you see on cable TV, you know MSNBC or CNN , that's pro wrestling. That's in the foreground, right? That’s to divert your attention of what's really going on, OK?"

"Donald Trump is the only person that could have beaten Hillary Clinton. He is an imperfect individual as we are all imperfect. But he was an instrument. You could say he was an instrument of god's will or not, but I will tell you it took the hand of divine providence to win on November 9 of 2016," he also said.

There is much wisdom in what this man says, esp with regard to divine intervention and Trump being the only person who could have beat Clinton.

These are amazing times.

We have a president who actually teaches us. Did anyone listen to the interview this AM with Maria Bartelomo? Trump covered a myriad of topics. No preinterview questions, no groupspeak...just him.

No other president in my life time is this transparent and smart.

Yup.

Those who mock AG Sessions and fall into every trap the MSM sets for them to doubt and question Trump are neverTrumpers at heart who are just looking for something to validate their doubts and fears.

Either you trust Trump and allow him and his very carefully and hand-picked people to do their jobs, or you essentially think he is a dope, because only a dope would match the image the MSM portrays.

Things take time. Be patient and have faith!

GWB was perhaps the dumbest man to ever sit in that office. Nearly retarded.

Bannon said about his “war” against “the establishment.”

Why put scare marks around war and the establishment?
I’m surprised they didn’t put sic in parenthesis (`intentionally as written’) after them, as if they were so sorry they had to print it but that’s what he said.

It is a war. The Bushes, McCain, Romney and the rest of that sorry group are the establishment. Like Clinton, they lost and it sticks in their craws.

The man is amazing. It’s like he sees the entire playing field in a football game, and the fans, the commentators, the opposing team have no clue as to what he’s doing. Then he starts putting points on the board, (I call this winning.)

Anyone hearing about the death tax?

Yep. If there are any libs in this country that I am currently speaking to, I’d apologize and say “You’re right. Bush is dumb.”

The truth is I knew it all along but wouldn’t admit it.

Now that we have finally broken through the Bush blockade and elected a President who WILL enforce the laws and borders we MUST remove the Cheap Labor Express stooges in the Congress.

The list is long, most of the GOP has been cooperating with the illegal alien inundation.

Sadly it appears the Michael Moores of the world were correct about Mr. Bush.

You could say he was an instrument of god's God's will or not ...

In that context god would be capitalized. There's god the word and there's actually God, the creator of heaven and earth. Brought to you by 1-8 grade of parochial school.

Seems like that was on display in Dallas.

100% correct.

And one could easily substitute wrestling with the NFL.

And MSNBC and CNN fully understand their ratings have gone to hell. Like the NFL.☺

I tend to agree. And Trumps timing was impeccable.
