Bannon's Gone!! Yippee!!

[leibowde84]

So, Bannon is threatening members of the Trump Administration and Republican opposition in Congress. Is this going to finally be the end of Trump? The President desperately needs to mend relationships with Republican Congressmen and women, and this is certainly not going to help. So, what do you think? Do you really think Bannon has any actual power to influence other than the small minority who think Breitbart is credible? I mean, the only people who take Bannon seriously are already Trump supporters, so what is Bannon's thinking here? Is he off his rocker?

Who knows. The way Trump has a flare for firing people, likely nothing will happen. Firing people is the only thing he's good at other than golfing on tax payer dollars.

I was more asking about Bannon's (confusing and unclear) threats. Do you think Bannon actually has the power to disrupt things in the Trump Administration?

Doubt it, especially the way the entire administration has been going thus far. Certainly, it would be great if Bannon did have the proper dirt, but I am not holding my breath.

He might be losing, he was throwing his supporters under the bus in the last interview I heard him give to the opposition. He's toxic but only a small minority of a minority will still support him.

We'll no doubt see soon if Bannon has any dirt on the others in the administration or not.

As soon as he gave that interview.. I knew.
Look I am a prophet!

All I know is that I'm going to have to change my profile info. . .

which will be a pleasure to do!

If he has that much dirt he'll most likely end up in Chesapeake Bay with a pair of concrete shoes on next to Jimmy Hoffa.

No need. Trumps biggest asset is he has convinced his followers that any news he doesn't like is fake news.

And two months later, a third of the US will think that Clinton did it.

I think a third of the U.S. population taking credit for it is more likely.

Mr. Bannon (the Republican not the Democrat) has been on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, so he knows things nobody else does. That may mean he continues to be a player even though he has been removed.

Removing Bannon gives Donald Trump the ability to pivot. He can become the savior president. He's got 3 years left, theoretically. If he works with the Republican Congress he can become quite popular.

Who knows what his exit might preface, if anything.

If I had to guess, years from now we will remember this as just one more step of the sequence of quick firings in the Trump White House that is both a consequence and one of the many causes for the severe fragility of his so-called mandate.

Bannon, mediocre as he is, is probably far more media-savvy than most other people that were around him in that cabinet, even his former boss.

That NY Post article seems remarkably vague, probably because he skillfully chose his phrasing to sound both incisive and ambiguous. He positioned himself to take credit for further events without giving any clear indication of what those would be, but it is not like Trump was exactly emanating auspices of a solid future before now. Bannon is just trying to raise his street cred, as he seems to do all the time anyway.

Better a paralyzed cesspool of a White House confronting and embarrassing the GOP sycophants with a Trump-Bannon bromance than a Pence-GOP machine efficiently undermining social justice.

True that.

Nothing would please me more than Bannon destroying the Trump Administration from outside, but I don't see it happening either. Bannon is like Trump. He thinks he is way more important and liked than he actually is.
