Just so you understand, and I need you to understand this: Bannon is my red line.
Firing Bannon will mean that Trump is fully abandoning his plan to fulfill his campaign promises.
Steve Bannon’s only agenda is to do what Trump said he was going to do, and that is to Make America Great Again.
If Bannon is out, that means that MAGA is canceled, period.
I don’t know if WaPo is right about this. No one knows what’s actually going on with any of this. Bannon doesn’t do interviews and Trump’s statements have all been weird.
When Stephen K. Bannon reported for work Wednesday, he did not act like a man who had just been publicly humiliated by his boss.
The White House chief strategist cycled in and out of the Oval Office for meetings with President Trump and took a seat in the front row of the East Room for the afternoon visit of NATO’s secretary general, flanked by some of the very advisers with whom he has been feuding.
But for Bannon, the day’s routine obscured the reality that he is a marked man — diminished by weeks of battles with the bloc of centrists led by Trump’s daughter and son-in-law and cut down by the president himself, who belittled Bannon in an interview with the New York Post.
The president’s comments were described by White House officials as a dressing-down and warning shot, though one Bannon friend, reflecting on them Wednesday, likened Bannon to a terminally ill family member who had been moved into hospice care.
Yeah.
A relic of the past.
A relic of the ancient past called “a week ago.”
The man not long ago dubbed the “shadow president” — with singular influence over Trump’s agenda and the workings of the federal government — is struggling to keep his job with his portfolio reduced and his profile damaged, according to interviews Wednesday with 21 of Trump’s aides, confidants and allies. Some colleagues described Bannon as a stubborn recluse who had failed to build a reservoir of goodwill within the West Wing.
“Bannon is a brilliant pirate who has had a huge impact,” said former House speaker Newt Gingrich, a Trump supporter. “But White Houses, in the end, are like the U.S. Navy — corporate structures and very hard on pirates.”
For now, at least, Bannon may survive the turmoil, and he and other White House staffers are striving to be on their best behavior after their infighting earned them a scolding by the president over the weekend, according to the aides and allies, many of whom requested anonymity because they were not authorized to talk about internal dynamics. Bannon declined to be interviewed.
But the mercurial president has a long history of turning quickly on subordinates, and the political hit late Tuesday in the New York Post was trademark Trump, using the friendly Manhattan tabloid to publicly debase his chief strategist. The president said Bannon was hardly the Svengali of his caricature, but rather “a good guy” who “was not involved in my campaign until very late.”
Yeah, and there is no way in hell you could have won without him.
He not only refined and directed your message to the people, he organized the campaign strategy which won you blue states.
There would be no “President Trump” without Steve Bannon, just as there would be no “President Trump” without the Alt-Right.
And now we’re all under the bus.
Bannon’s associates were caught off guard by Trump’s comments. Some interpreted them as a paternal “love tap” by Trump to assert his own dominance, while others worried they amounted to an indirect firing. Bannon himself was humbled, people close to him said, and his allies scrambled to defend him, including Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who praised him in an appearance on Laura Ingraham’s radio program.
Sessions is going under the bus next.
No one who believes in anything Trump said during the campaign is going to be allowed to stay.
At least that’s what it appears we’re looking at here.
In a second interview, with the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, Trump referred to Bannon as “a guy who works for me” — and pointedly noted, as he did with the New York Post, that he was his own “strategist,” even though chief strategist is Bannon’s job title.
Trump also is increasingly embracing more mainstream policy positions championed by daughter Ivanka Trump, son-in-law Jared Kushner and their allies, including ascendant National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn, instead of Bannon’s brand of combative nationalism.
On Wednesday alone, Trump flipped from Bannon-favored positions on issues such as the Export-Import Bank and Chinese currency manipulation, alarming some Bannon aides who feared their wing had lost influence with the president.
The question now is: if Bannon doesn’t get fired, then what is he even doing?
If all the campaign promises are getting flushed down the toilet, then what is he even going to do in the White House?
Go to meetings to shake his head in disappointment at everything everyone else says?
He’s sure as hell not going to go along with the #KushnerCoup.
On Ingraham’s show, Sessions dismissed the suggestion that Bannon’s worldview, which he shares, was being sidelined. “I’m an admirer of Steve Bannon and the Trump family and they’ve been supportive of what we’re doing,” said the attorney general, who in recent days has unveiled tough policies aimed at illegal immigration and drug crimes. “I’ve not felt any pushback against me or on anything I’ve done or advocated.”
…
Bannon’s effective demotion began last week when he was removed from the National Security Council’s principals committee. But his real problems began much earlier. Trump bristled at the media depiction of Bannon as a puppeteer, punctuated by the Feb. 13 Time magazine cover labeling Bannon “The Great Manipulator.”
Trump fashions himself as the leading man — the protagonist of every story in which he stars — and was content to have Bannon as his sidekick, but he did not welcome the competition for top billing.
Yeah, this is the fake news narrative there: that Bannon was being portrayed by the left media as influential, and Trump couldn’t take it.
Well, now both left and right media are saying Kushner is running the show – so is he going to get fired to?
Bannon further imperiled his standing with the president by getting crosswise with Kushner, officials said. The two men were close during last year’s campaign; Kushner came to see Bannon as a wartime consigliere. But in the White House, Bannon went to war with the business leaders Kushner helped recruit to the administration — Cohn and others, including Dina Powell, the senior economic counselor and deputy national security adviser.
…
Bannon’s supporters believe he is an essential conduit between Trump and his nationalist, populist base. The wealthy Mercer family, which has nurtured Bannon’s political rise and infused Trump’s campaign and allied groups with millions of dollars, is closely monitoring Bannon’s falling fortunes. Rebekah Mercer, who directs the family’s political activities, is unnerved and worried about losing her best link to a president her family takes credit for helping get elected but believes Bannon will be able to maintain his influence, people close to the family said.
…
But other Trump loyalists dispute the idea that Bannon is the id of the Trump movement, pointing out that Trump has been advocating some of the same populist positions — especially on immigration and trade — for decades and for more than a year on the campaign trail before Bannon’s hiring last summer.
These people argue that a better representative of Trump’s voters inside the White House is Stephen Miller, the senior policy adviser and former Sessions aide who joined the campaign early and helped Trump hone and communicate his ideas. They said Miller has worked closely with Bannon but also has strategically aligned himself with Kushner, who came to see him last year as indispensable at Trump’s side.
Miller is also Jewish, by the way.
He’s basically been good this whole time so I haven’t seen any reason to criticize him, but of course, if they have to have someone representing populism in the White House, they want him to be a Jew.
As tensions have heightened in recent weeks, the Bannon and Kushner camps have devolved into opposing firing squads. Team Bannon believes the hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” a show the president watches regularly, are speaking regularly with Kushner and projecting his anti-Bannon sentiments. Kushner allies, meanwhile, finger Bannon as responsible for unflattering stories involving the president’s son-in-law, including those focusing on Kushner’s talks with Russians.
Inside a White House led by a president increasingly hungry to make deals, even with Democrats, Bannon’s dogmatism appears to have weakened him.
“Dogmatism” is a funny euphemism for “integrity.”
So anyway.
There’s that.
It’s insight into what’s going on, and though the WaPo’s “anonymous sources” aren’t especially reliable or even necessarily actual people, this rings true.
I’m just wondering why this is being dragged out.
I guess Trump is planning for the fallout.
Because when Bannon goes, no one is going to have any more illusions.
The Whole Bitch Getting Burned
The thing about all of this is, we’re not just dealing with an isolated foreign policy reversal.
When the Syria strike happened, it was reasonable to pause for a second and say “oh well, maybe we’ll still get our domestic agenda through, even with a neocon Middle East policy.”
But no dice.
The whole MAGA program is being wiped out, as if Trump has been replaced with a robot or a clone. In the last 24 hours, he’s said China doesn’t manipulate currency and NATO is good.
The good news is: everyone is going to know this was the Jews who done it.
