Bannon: 'The Trump Presidency That We Fought For, and Won, Is Over.'
Weekly Standard ^

Posted on 08/18/2017 3:50:04 PM PDT by springwater13

“The Trump presidency that we fought for, and won, is over,” Bannon said Friday, shortly after confirming his departure. “We still have a huge movement, and we will make something of this Trump presidency. But that presidency is over. It’ll be something else. And there’ll be all kinds of fights, and there’ll be good days and bad days, but that presidency is over.”

Bannon says that he once confidently believed in the prospect of success for that version of the Trump presidency he now says is over. Asked what the turning point was, he says, “It’s the Republican establishment. The Republican establishment has no interest in Trump’s success on this. They’re not populists, they’re not nationalists, they had no interest in his program. Zero. It was a half-hearted attempt at Obamacare reform, it was no interest really on the infrastructure, they’ll do a very standard Republican version of taxes.

“What Trump ran on – border wall, where is the funding for the border wall, one of his central tenets, where have they been? Have they rallied around the Perdue-Cotton immigration bill [legislation proposed by Republican Senators David Perdue and Tom Cotton that would revamp the system of legal immigration, favoring immigrants with education, skills and English proficiency. On what element of Trump’s program, besides tax cuts – which is going to be the standard marginal tax cut – where have they rallied to Trump’s cause? They haven’t.”

Now you get the idea why Trump thought he was a leaker, full of himself, and trying to take all Trump's credit. Bad form Bannon.

I guess I didn’t read anything that I don’t believe to be true. Its clear the GOP does not support the President’s agenda and is actively working against him.

Bannon is right.
The Uniparty has him surrounded inside his own administration.

I think he is just calling it like he sees it. The President is surrounded by so many that are not in his best interest. . .including family members.

It’s not who I trust or not. Bannon called the Standard and those are his direct quotes.

Are you saying they just made up an entire interview with him out of thin air?

Bannon did call the far left wing magazine reporter earlier this week and blabbed about North Korea.

Nothing in the article indicates this is fake news. Bannon is very much on the record with direct quotes.

I agree with what he said in the excerpt. Don’t agree with him saying it like this or this soon.

I love Trump, but I think he may be speaking the truth. Seriously, I think Ivanka and her husband has Trump’s ear more than anyone.

And guess who is best friends with Ivanka? Chelsea! And I also heard Huma is very close to Ivanka as well...

Sick if true...

The question is, is what Bannon said actually true?

If it is, we have a problem.

He’s right, and with that the country is lost.

But what the Uniparty represents and stands for is basically collapsing and dying under it’s own weight and contradictions, much like what happened in the Soviet Union and East Bloc in the 1970s and 1980s.

Weekly Standard is always trying to depress support for Trump. Silly that Bannon called them.

I totally disagree. Bannon sounds like a war causality who has lost faith.

Also remember the Weekly Standard is pretty close to the rest of the Lying Leftist media, so I would look to a reasonably reliable source to get confirmation.
