Bannon Tells Trump: Keep a Sh*t List of Republicans Who Opposed You
Trumpcare is in trouble and if it fails, Steve Bannon has pledged to remember who defied the White House.
If TrumpCare dies, the White House wont forget who killed it and plans on keeping a sh*t list of Republicans who stood in their way.
According to multiple Trump administration officials speaking to The Daily Beast on the condition of anonymity to talk freely, the president is angry that his first big legislative push is crumbling before his eyesand his chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon is advising him to take names and keep a hit list of Republicans who worked for Trumpcares defeat.
[Bannon] has told the president to keep a sh*t list on this, one official told The Daily Beast. He wants a running tally of [the Republicans] who want to sink this Not sure if Id call it an enemies list, per se, but I wouldnt want to be on it.
One aide described it as a proposed sh*t list for Republicans not sufficiently loyal. Courses of action stemming from any related tally is yet to be determined, but the idea and message is that well remember you.
Two senior Trump administration officials with direct knowledge of the process told The Daily Beast that Bannon and Trump have taken a youre either with us or against us approach at this point, and that Bannon wants the tally of against versus with us mounted in his so-called West Wing war room.
Burn the boats, Bannon (in his typical, pugnacious style) advised Trump, according to one official involved. Burning ones boats is a reference to when military commanders in hostile territories order his or her troops to destroy their own ships, so that they have to win or die trying.
Sources also said that others including Mick Mulvaney, Trump's director of the Office of Management and Budget and co-founder of the House Freedom Caucus, endorsed the idea of the running list, and that Trump agreed with the idea.
Emails to the White House and Bannon seeking comment were not immediately returned.
Freedom Caucus members, of course, are no strangers to barely-veiled threats from Trumpworld, and have remained undeterred this week by earlier attempts. On Tuesday, when Trump made his high-profile visit to Capitol Hill to try to rally Republicans to get behind his and Ryans plan, Trump specifically called out Rep. Mark Meadows, chairman of the Freedom Caucus, several times. According to those in the room, the president made it clear that he expected Meadows vote and support when push comes to shove. (As of Friday late morning, Meadows is saying hes not budging yet.)
Mark, Im coming after you, Trump said, only half-jokingly, on Tuesday.
Freedom Caucus aides said they were similarly unperturbed on Friday. One simply responded to The Daily Beasts question regarding potentially getting on Trump and Bannons sh*t list with one word: Meh.
From day 1 in this fight, conservatives have been far more focused on keeping their promises and doing whats best for their constituents versus any hypothetical political challenges, another conservative congressional aide said. That remains unchanged.
Republican House members jumping ship on the AHCA, both in the hardline-right and so-called moderate camps, are hardly alone in their buyers remorse. On Thursday night, The New York Times reported that Trump himself has told four people close to him that he regrets going along with Speaker Ryans plan.
Bannon, for his part, is hardly pleased with the bill as it stands. According to Trump administration officials, Bannon himself hates the current AHCAhe thinks its a piece of shit and he told me as such, one source described bluntly. But, I mean, he's not going against [the president].
If Trumpcare/Ryancare goes down in flames, a great share of the blame will inevitably be shoveled onto Speaker Ryan and House GOP leadershipa Republican leadership that just two short years ago Bannon was calling out as all cunts.
This from a Trump hating publication. Smells like crap.
Not true. The conservatives came around after changes. The rinos wouldn’t go along.
Problem is that shite list would start out naming all the Patriots that saved him from RyanCare.
LOL.
Trump is playing the long game here. We need Ryan to twist in the wind a little to get what we want passed...
Okay, thanks.
These articles are so fast an furious it’s hard to keep players straight, when you’re reading stuff like this and it goes against the grain.
It’s been hard to read Trump’s true intent on all this, and a loss could cause him to want a slice of the Nuclear Option (all his own) too.
I’m hoping next week he gets behind the Paul plan variation and runs with it.
He’ll get broad support if he does. He’ll find that Conservatives will do everything in their power to back good legislation.
So multiple people were in the Oval and they all went running to the press with this “story?” Riiigghht.
Ryan wins by handing Trump a big defeat and now, if this story is true (a big if) he wins again as Trump puts the blame and thoughts of revenge on the conservatives rather than the RINOs that insisted that only a turd could be introduced. Double victory for the GOPe.
This loss has given the MSM and the Dems a lot of ammunition. Pays to know who one can trust
I agree, so I wish Trump would let him twist.
Priebus / Ryan... grrrrrrrr...
These wasn’t my first choices.
Fake news propaganda.
That alone is all the proof you need to know that the Republican leadership is for single payer because that is the only solution to a totally collapsed ObamaCare. RyanCare would have failed in the same. Seventy-five % increase in premiums first two years then we would get a whopping 10% decrease in premiums. Does anyone even read this cr@p?
Ryan just said that it was the FC who had the vote holdout that did it in. Most (though not all) of the RINO threat was in the Senate.
Conservatives in the Freedon Caucus killed the bill. But whatever, purge away.
I think everyone knows by now these leaks are coming from Preibus associates. can’t they get rid of him already?
If this is true, Trump will last one term, maybe, and will accomplish nothing. Just what the uniparty wants.
I agree too. This loss was a total Obamacare victory and has undermined Trump.
