Moments ago, the Hollywood Reporter released the much anticipated Michael Wolff interview with Steve Bannon, the controversial president-elect's chief strategist. As a preface, Wolff reveals that Bannon - unlike virtually anyone else in the "credible" media

In late summer when I went up to see Steve Bannon, recently named CEO of the Donald Trump presidential campaign, in his office at Trump Tower in New York, he outlined a preposterous-sounding scenario. Trump, he said, would do surprisingly well among women, Hispanics and African-Americans, in addition to working men, and hence take Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan — and therefore the election. On Nov. 15, when I went back to Trump Tower, Bannon, promoted by the president-elect to chief strategist for the incoming administration, and by the media as the official symbol of all things hateful and virulent about the coming Trump presidency, said, as matter-of-factly as when he first sketched it out for me, “I told you so.”

Perhaps Trump naming Bannon "chief strategist" is not a bad idea.

Below we picked a few of the most notable excerpts from the interview, starting with Wolff's description of what he saw on the day he visited Trump. He writes "the New York Times, in a widely circulated article, will describe this day at Trump Tower as a scene of “disarray” for the transition team." It appears the NYT was being a source of fake news again:

"In fact, it’s all hands on: Mike Pence, the vice president-elect and transition chief, and Reince Priebus, the new chief of staff, shuttling between full conference rooms; Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and by many accounts his closest advisor, conferring in the halls; Sen. Jeff Sessions in and out of meetings on the transition team floor; Rudy Giuliani upstairs with Trump...

The sad part is most Americans do not even know they are getting fxxxed over to the tune of $800,000,000,000 EVERY year in foreign trade deficits by other countries. These clueless people have no clue why middle class jobs are scarce. These clueless people think bargains at Walmart are a great thing even if all they can get is a part time job at $15/hour. Why they do not prefer making $60-70/hour in a good manufacturing jobs and buy stuff made in USA, is beyond me.

Betting Bannon likes his Scotch single malt.
Fine cigars
Celtic music mixed with barouque era and he has a library with first editions...
I have no idea but its just a guess
He might even have collection of Vinyl records

“Flyover Country” really has been “F—kover Country” ...well not any more

Bannon hits the ten ring! I am so sick of government oppression and intrusion, especially in states like NY and CA.

[dragnet2]

And remember everyone, when Obama was elected, places like LA plastered his portrait all over state, county and federal facilities, including all the oppressive leftist public schools.

We need to ensure, right after Trump is sworn in, Trumps portrait replaces Obama’s in every leftist school, college and or government building.

Wow, idiot reporter doesn’t get that Thomas Cromwell was nothing like Oliver, although he did meet a bad end when Henry went nuts.

[Steve Bannon] "—we’ll get 60 percent of the white vote, and 40 percent of the black and Hispanic vote and we’ll govern for 50 years..."

KA-EFFING-BOOM!!!!!

Trump, with this team behind him (including the Administration savants yet-to-be-named) will be like a human dynamo. THey cannot even slow him down, never mind "stop" him.

This is going to be fun.

"God this is like a dream come true!"

Amen, mon FRere! I still worry that I'll wake up and see that this was all a beautiful, inexplicably fantastic dream.

If we're having fun now, just wait until Trump's DOJ gets into gear with their priorities... I'm trying to imagine how I'll survive laughing that hard for that long.

LMAO!!!!!!

If Bannon chomped off puppy heads, I would LIKE HIM NO LESS..!!!!

Rock on, bro..!!!

I'm hoping that Sessions will get Lois Lerner to stop laughing at us.
