Trump slams Bannon after criticism, says ex-chief strategist 'lost his mind'


It's probably safe to say the self-professed mastermind behind President Trump's election won't be back in 2020.

Trump issued a blistering, four-paragraph takedown of Steve Bannon Wednesday, hours after the Guardian reported that Bannon called Donald Trump Jr. "treasonous" for meeting with Russian operatives during the campaign.

"Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me or my Presidency," Trump wrote. "When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind. Steve was a staffer who worked for me after I had already won the nomination by defeating seventeen candidates, often described as the most talented field ever assembled in the Republican party."

"Now that he is on his own, Steve is learning that winning isn't as easy as I make it look," Trump said. "Steve had very little to do with our historic victory, which was delivered by the forgotten men and women of this country. Yet Steve had everything to do with the loss of a Senate seat in Alabama held for more than thirty years by Republicans. Steve doesn't represent my base—he's only in it for himself.



He also accuses Bannon of leaking to the media while serving as his adviser at the White House.

"Steve pretends to be at war with the media, which he calls the opposition party, yet he spent his time at the White House leaking false information to the media to make himself seem far more important than he was," he said. "It is the only thing he does well."

He added, "Steve was rarely in a one-on-one meeting with me and only pretends to have had influence to fool a few people with no access and no clue, whom he helped write phony books."

Bannon spent just over a year formally working for the president, leaving the White House in August and returning to Breitbart News, the populist news site.

Bannon is buying Mueller insurance by throwing his fellow Trump Travellers under the bus.
Probability increasing there is some more v bad stuff to drop there.

I bet Trump is annoyed with Bannon trying to pull the house down around his ears, as that was Trump's job/ego trip.

Bannon is at least as spiteful as Trump. Attacking him is risky, I could see him totally leaking crazy bombshells to the press in retaliation.

So you're saying pee video incoming?

Why would Bannon have that?

Wolff is pretty gossipy, so I took a lot of what was written with a grain of salt.  The fact that Bannon hasn't denied this and Trump flew off the handle and is threatening to sue indicates that it might actually be true.  I suspect that this is less Mueller insurance and more Bannon simply hates Trump's kids.

That was my reaction.  I had no idea how much to believe that book, given that the Russians must be peddling some fake gossip to discredit the real journalists, but Trump's reaction kind of validates at least some of the book to me.

Trump is sending out cease and desist letters.

Good idea, wanders off to amazon.

Also how irking will it be for Trump, if Bannon and author end up making more money off this than Trump does with all his 'presidency as a profit center' BS.

It totally would not surprise me if Trump, Bannon etc. are playing a version of a two-man con; the one writes a book full of nonsense, the other makes it popular by (completely unenforceable) attempts to suppress it, tantrums, etc. - they sell a mountain of copies, make a mint, distract attention ...
