Trump: Bannon has 'lost his mind'
thehill.com ^ | 1/3/2018 | Jordan Fabian

In a blistering statement issued by the White House, Trump said Bannon has "lost his mind."

"When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind," Trump said in a statement. "Steve was rarely in a one-on-one meeting with me and only pretends to have had influence to fool a few people with no access and no clue, whom he helped write phony books."

"Steve pretends to be at war with the media, which he calls the opposition party, yet he spent his time at the White House leaking false information to the media to make himself seem far more important than he was," the president continued.

Breitbart has responded and in doing so, they are NOT going after Trump. That seems a little strange, as Bannon is head of Breitbart. My guess is that it's one of two scenarios - 1) Bannon screwed up, and got caught giving the quote, and it taking his lumps, or 2) This is to help in the mid-terms with moderate Republicans, by giving Trump separation from Moore.

Mock all you want but for the time being Trump isn’t as Alt-Right as many of the Bannon sycophants believed. Did you noticed how he praised Ryan and McConnell after the tax vote? Before you tell me Trump and Bannon are playing 4th Dimension Chess remember that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Don’t worry before Trump is done he’ll probably run the gamut.

Bannon was the leaker, notice how the leaks stopped the second he was dismissed.

Steve Bannon is on record as not being on any social media.

The twitter account using his name is not actually Steve Bannon, former adviser to President Trump.

Something big is afoot & I believe the media is making noise to cover for it. Just my 2 cents :)

I don’t get into that 4th chess game crap. I simply follow what Trump does. And he does a hell of a lot of good stuff. I don’t care who he praises as long as he gets good stuff done.

The pantywaists are out in spades!

Bannon may end up running for President in 2020.

He'd have to shave. Never happen.

I asked for my post to be removed. Otherwise, we’ll have endless posts telling me I’m wrong. I know that now.

You may be right!!

And what Trump has been doing is what I would describe as Conventional Republicanism. It isn’t straight down the line Conservative but it isn’t Moderate, either.

One example is the FBI. It is beyond me why he hasn’t forced the FBI to testify before Congress. It would be to his benefit.

Since both Trump and Bannon are economic nation slit, a rare breed, one of them may be a phony. Or this is just a personal dispute. Or fake news.

That’s right. Steve Bannon is dead to President Trump now. To me also.

Bannon’s new book is full of fake news. His fake news, just like his false leaks to the media from his perch at the White House. What a self-important ass.

Bannon just took a dump on himself. He’s done.

I’ll be banned for this but I wouldn’t shed a tear if those “journalists” in the White House Press Room were machinegunned live on TV.

As for Bannon, he may have single-handedly destroyed Breitbart.

He’s not done. He is just getting started. I don’t care if Trump and Bannon have personal issues. As long as they are both marching in the same direction that is a good thing. They don’t have to get along. Bannon needs to keep the pressure up in the Republican primaries to rid us of RINOs. In this effort he is invaluable.

i am actually stunned if Bannon was the leaker.

I am working in a hotel lobby most of the day - CNN is super giddy.

I am so confused about what is happening.

said, "Where is the link to the President’s actual statement?? (I can’t find one anywhere)"

I haven't seen it either. I also notice a lot of names on FR that rarely come on Freerepublic (Turtles)

This was a coordinate attack.

So far what I can make of it. This was a coordinated attack by many news organizations. There is no evidence of any of the allegations.

Nothing I can do except wait see what Bannon has to say.
