Trump had told Bannon to take a bath. |
It seems like Steve Bannon is going to be erased from memory. The folks over at white extremist website Breitbart are considering firing him out the cannon.
The blockbuster book by Michael Wolff reveals some damaging information about the legacy of Donald J. Trump. Wolff said that Bannon was the communications line and the guy who spilled tea.
Bannon who was then-White House chief political strategist was fired out the cannon last year after rumors were going around that he was getting fed up with Jared Kushner, H.R. McMaster, Reince Priebus and Ivanka Trump.
Bannon who wanted Trump to take a nationalist platform was sidelined after John Kelly got into the postition of Chief of Staff.
Bannon was then CEO of Breitbart and appeared on the SiriusXM morning show from 2014 to 2016. He would leave the position to join the Trump campaign.
He would bring pollster Kellyanne Conway and they helped turn Trump's struggling campaign around. He was rewarded by Trump and given a place.
For eight months, many were grumbling about how Trump wasn't living up to the expectations and in Wolff's book, it details how irrational he is when he's upsetted by bad news.
Trump on his part said that his base is with him.
He dubbed his former ally as "Sloppy Steve."
I authorized Zero access to White House (actually turned him down many times) for author of phony book! I never spoke to him for book. Full of lies, misrepresentations and sources that don’t exist. Look at this guy’s past and watch what happens to him and Sloppy Steve!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 5, 2018
Well, now that collusion with Russia is proving to be a total hoax and the only collusion is with Hillary Clinton and the FBI/Russia, the Fake News Media (Mainstream) and this phony new book are hitting out at every new front imaginable. They should try winning an election. Sad!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 5, 2018
The Mercer Family recently dumped the leaker known as Sloppy Steve Bannon. Smart!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 5, 2018
Michael Wolff is a total loser who made up stories in order to sell this really boring and untruthful book. He used Sloppy Steve Bannon, who cried when he got fired and begged for his job. Now Sloppy Steve has been dumped like a dog by almost everyone. Too bad! https://t.co/mEeUhk5ZV9— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2018
Yeah, Bannon is in some deep shit. Robert and Rebekah Mercer have both pulled out of Breitbart. The controversial billionaires have financially cut the support of Bannon and his website.
Bannon has pissed off so many at Breitbart, they have considered a formal ouster of the former Hollywood screenwriter turned white extremist.
Fire And Fury: Inside the Trump White House is a bestseller. The White House was going to formally block the release of the book and silence Bannon's tongue.

Wolff said that the White House and the Republican Party helped further it's interest by picking a fight with him.
Trump was none too happy about this.
Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and White House communications director Hope Hicks ordered all personal devices removed from the White House. All workers are to use government devices.
Bannon on his part has downplayed the outcry.
Bannon may have lost his ally Kellyanne Conway. |
Moore was one of the many Bannon acolytes who wanted to shake things up in Washington. Moore's loss put a dent in Bannon and Trump.
Trump wasted political capital and it now puts Republicans at risk of losing Congress and state governorship.
Bannon continues his strict opposition to the establishment. He may start plotting his own ambitions in 2020.
