Trump disavows Steve Bannon: 'He not only lost his job, he lost his mind'
CNBC ^ | 03 JAN 18 | Jacob Pramuk | @jacobpramuk

Posted on 01/03/2018 10:30:12 AM PST by DCBryan1

President Donald Trump distanced himself from his former chief strategist Steve Bannon on Wednesday, contending that "he not only lost his job" but also "lost his mind" when he left the White House.

On Wednesday, excerpts from an upcoming Michael Wolff book showed that Bannon called a June 2016 meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer "treasonous" and "unpatriotic."

This is breaking news. Please check back for updates.

Indeed. Nothing on the press release site, nothing on Twitter, tons of lefties talking about this “statement”.

I’m going to withhold comment until we have actual facts.

Fog of war.

Bannon really thought he was smarter than President Trump. Couldn’t even win in freaking Alabama.

That’s reportedly a fake account. It’s not verified. People replying to the tweet say that Bannon doesn’t have a Twitter account.

No blue check mark. This is a fake account. Bannon is not on Twitter.

I’ve always felt that he loves to hear the sound of his own voice too damn much, especially with the over-emotional headlines Britebart pumps out sometimes. And his supporters were obnoxious with their thinking that Bannon was the actual president, and with him not there, Trump was going to become a leftist Democrat.

But, I will ask for confirmation on any of these statements CNBC has.

I wonder why CNBS wasn’t kind enough to post a link to Trump’s statement. 🧐

May or may not be a fake account. The liberal Twits may not have given him their blue check mark.

Bannon is a narcissistic asshole who is now doing more damage than good.

Bannon has reason to be worried:

@realDonaldTrump
Democrats are doing nothing for DACA - just interested in politics. DACA activists and Hispanics will go hard against Dems, will start “falling in love” with Republicans and their President! We are about RESULTS.

Not what he should be saying.

If Bannon was truly the one leaking to the FakeNews media –– which wouldn’t surprise me at all –– then he is an even bigger rat than I thought he was.

The guy has such an inflated sense of importance and it’s easy to see from every single interview he gives. He was a failure in President Trump’s White House and his first big project post-firing (Roy Moore) was a complete and utter failure and embarrassment.

The less this pock-marked egomaniac is seen and heard from going forward, the better.

Dittoes on confirmation.

This breaking news is still breaking. Pres. Trump obviously believed the Bannon comments. As he has blasted back at Bannon.

Who is now in full denial of having said this.

Either Trump or Bannan has been played as a fool today.

Trump should leave Bannon alone & treat him like a nobody. Bannon wants this publicity. Trump shouldn’t give it to him.

Drudge despises Steve Bannon apparently.
