Bannon Reportedly Mulling 2020 POTUS Run, Called Trump ‘An 11-Year-Old Child’
Media ITE ^ | Dec 21, 2017 | Ken Meyer

A profile of Steve Bannon indicates that the Breitbart chief is getting increasingly frustrated with President Donald Trump, and might tap into his own presidential ambitions in the coming years.

Vanity Fair’s Gabriel Sherman wrote an extensive report stating that the former White House chief strategist has expressed concern to various aides about the longevity of Trump’s presidency. Even though Trump and Bannon are believed to be still in close contact with each other, the latter is unhappy with the direction of current administration and starting to think his own direct intervention is needed for national politics.

In October, Bannon called an adviser and said he would consider running for president if Trump doesn’t run for re-election in 2020. Which Bannon has told people is a realistic possibility. In private conversations since leaving the White House, Bannon said Trump only has a 30 percent chance of serving out his term, whether he’s impeached or removed by the Cabinet invoking the 25th amendment. That prospect seemed to become more likely in early December when special counsel Robert Mueller secured a plea deal from former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

Bannon has also remarked on the toll the office has taken on Trump, telling advisers his former boss has “lost a step.” “He’s like an 11-year-old child,” Bannon joked to a friend in November.

If true, it would have made for some damn interesting GOP Primary Debates.

Another unidentified single-source story only for the purpose of getting snowflakes ginned up. Of course, when it comes to Obummer, a detailed article with multiple named sources gets poo pooed as “inconsequential and poorly researched” while garbage like this is treated as a book of the Bible.

He will only get impeached if the Democrats take control of both Houses in November.
