Steve Bannon is now at war with the entire Republican Party, with President Trump and his family leading the charge.  After the White House released a volcanic statement from Trump yesterday afternoon -- which very much sounded like it was personally dictated by Trump, probably because it was -- both the Republican National Committee and the Senate Leadership Fund (Mitch McConnell's group) highlighted it as "in case you missed it" emails blasts.  It was practically impossible for anyone in this town to have possibly have missed this story, but the purpose of the amplification was clear: To go nuclear on...

Wow! And you thought Wednesday was crazy! Matt Drudge from the powerhouse Drudge Report continued his attacks on all things Steve Bannon on Thursday morning.

President Donald Trump and former chief strategist Steve Bannon used to be so close they'd have dinner nearly every evening, an explosive new book about Trump's first year in office reveals. If the two former friends weren't dining at 6:30 pm, Trump would retire to the residence, where he allegedly ate cheeseburgers from bed, sometimes watching three television screens while ranting about the media in phone calls to friends. Author Michael Wolff claims that Trump added a lock to his bedroom door in the early days of the administration to the chagrin of Secret Service and screamed at housekeeping staff...

The veteran journalist Michael Wolff set off a bomb yesterday in the middle of Trumpworld when details emerged from his new inside-the-White-House book, “Fire and Fury.” In The Guardian, the world read with dropped jaw about how former chief strategist Steve Bannon used the words “treasonous” and “unpatriotic” to describe Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with Russians in July 2016 and said there was “zero” chance the son hadn’t brought the Russians to meet his father. This meeting is a key event in the so-called “Russian collusion” timeline the president and his supporters say was a meaningless dead end. Then an...

In his first comments after being blasted by President Donald Trump earlier in the day, Steve Bannon called Trump "a great man" while hosting a radio show Wednesday night. Meanwhile, Trump's attorney said that he has sent a cease and desist letter to the former White House chief strategist over the critical comments made in the forthcoming book by Michael Wolff.

Donald Trump Jr slammed former White House advisor Steve Bannon on Wednesday after it was reported that Bannon claimed last July that his meeting with a Russian lawyer was "treasonous" and there's "zero" chance his father didn't know about it. "Steve had the honor of working in the White House & serving the country. Unfortunately, he squandered that privilege & turned that opportunity into a nightmare of backstabbing, harassing, leaking, lying & undermining the President. Steve is not a strategist, he is an opportunist," Don Jr. wrote on Twitter.

Steve Bannon responded to President Donald Trump's blistering assault by calling the president "a great man" and saying, "I support him day in and day out." Bannon, former White House chief strategist, made the comments on SiriusXM's "Breitbart News Tonight" show hours after the Trump administration unleashed a multi-tiered blitzkrieg of rebukes and condemnation against him for his explosive remarks in Michael Wolff's new book, "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House." But Bannon remained nonplussed and steadfast in his support of the president. "The President of the United States is a great man," Bannon said on Breitbart News...

Look, two things: First, despite the temptation, CTH is not going to say “we toldya so“; it’s irrelevant, combative and unnecessary. Second, I’m not going to go through the repository of all the times there have been harsh words upon this site criticizing CTH previous warnings about this day; again, irrelevant, combative and unnecessary. CTH views our place, our responsibility for tone and presentation amid the ongoing struggle against the larger political left, as a foxhole discussion during consequential combat. What is the most valuable spirit within that foxhole?
