Bannon needs to be strongly supported.

He is the Trump base.

And which are the most powerful unions now?

The government-employee unions. The non-government trade unions have been weakened beyond all recognition.

FDR said that unions for government employees should never be allowed to exist.

And now these very unions - which are funded with government kick-back schemes - are the only unions that have survived.

We certainly don’t want the NORKs to “wring our windpipes”.
Something tells me fat boy’s translators are afraid to tell him how lame he sounds and quote him exactly.

That doesn't give him the right to spout his mouth off while being stupid. The message was locked and loaded, fire and fury, not well we can't do much.

Offshoring a non union factory to Communist China is a crime against the American people. Supporting it is sedition

Actually China is a massive, manufacturing union.

Massive. Far more powerful than any unions anywhere.

Every bit as monolithic, though. Yet we are deliberately blind, while they take ever more of what used to be American industry, and sell the products back to us.

Rush quoted Bannon’s comments today. They were completely against the President’s stance on NK. Is Bannon trying to get fired?

I can see that, and I agree - China is using North Korea as a bargaining chip.

But for Bannon to lay all this out for the liberal American Prospect signals that he is very desperate. Which I don’t think he is.

So the question remains, why did he go out of his way to make this interview?

Maybe it’s intentional to create confusion and throw the Norks off.

Bannon is no longer a NSC staffer and is purely an economic advisor. His opinions on the DPRK are just that, opinions.

Yeah, right. Do you even listen? Bannon was a blabber mouth to a liberal reporter..if there was a good reason for being such I would like to hear it.

Bannon is Trump’s base.

There seems to be a concerted effort to get him out of the way.

I suspect, part of the group trying to do that, are globalists who want him to stop interfering with their sell-out.

Just my opinion.

But it’s my opinion.

Bannon is an economic nationalist and is worried that potential retaliation for decades of trade abuse by China will be used as a bargaining chip. He has his reasons. Of course if you are a Free Traitor™ then none of that makes any sense.

Maybe it was intentional because they found the REAL source of leaks during renovations. Bannon is outing himself as a “leaker.”

I am as puzzled about this as I was Trump dissing Sessions to the NYT. Wonder if there is a connection?

Well, yes.

And you can thank all of the NAFTA-loving previous presidents for that.

Trump is not one of them.

“The whole episode is puzzling. Bannon was very loose lipped. Uncharacteristic.”

I have to agree. Something is up with Bannon.

Well I assume he’s doing this with Trump’s blessing to get support for tough dealing with China.
Liberal support would be good, would squeeze the RINOs and Dems.

If he’s doing it without Trump’s blessing he’s nuts.

Not “nuts” LOL!
Either wrong or intending to leave the administration.

I don’t think so though, but that he is building support for Trump’s tough response.

Win. Win. NK takes out the trash in SF, LA, NYC, ShiGo, boom like that.

We glass NK and start from SiO2.

I also hope he has Trump’s blessing.

But he talked about much more than China/North Korea in this interview.

He gave away his strategy for dealing with the Swamp, too.

I suppose that maybe this is all well known among the swamp denizens and, as he said, it’s just what he does everyday.

But why does he reveal all of this to a reporter from the liberal American Prospect?

I’m scratching my head.
