Steve Bannon Interviewed: "It's About Americans Not Getting F—ed Over"

Moments ago, the Hollywood Reporter released the much anticipated Michael Wolff interview with Steve Bannon, the controversial president-elect's chief strategist. As a preface, Wolff reveals that Bannon - unlike virtually anyone else in the "credible" media

In late summer when I went up to see Steve Bannon, recently named CEO of the Donald Trump presidential campaign, in his office at Trump Tower in New York, he outlined a preposterous-sounding scenario. Trump, he said, would do surprisingly well among women, Hispanics and African-Americans, in addition to working men, and hence take Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan — and therefore the election. On Nov. 15, when I went back to Trump Tower, Bannon, promoted by the president-elect to chief strategist for the incoming administration, and by the media as the official symbol of all things hateful and virulent about the coming Trump presidency, said, as matter-of-factly as when he first sketched it out for me, “I told you so.”

Perhaps Trump naming Bannon "chief strategist" is not a bad idea.

Below we picked a few of the most notable excerpts from the interview, starting with Wolff's description of what he saw on the day he visited Trump. He writes "the New York Times, in a widely circulated article, will describe this day at Trump Tower as a scene of “disarray” for the transition team." It appears the NYT was being a source of fake news again:

"In fact, it’s all hands on: Mike Pence, the vice president-elect and transition chief, and Reince Priebus, the new chief of staff, shuttling between full conference rooms; Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and by many accounts his closest advisor, conferring in the halls; Sen. Jeff Sessions in and out of meetings on the transition team floor; Rudy Giuliani upstairs with Trump...

LOL about Hillary as Javert, but she and her corrupt husband are more like the Thenardiers getting their start looting valuables from the bodies at Waterloo before moving on to running a corrupt boarding house, Motel 1600.

I'm hoping Sessions gets her to stop laughing, period.

Nothing like a dedicated prosecutor with a committed Grand Jury to wipe the smile off her face once and for all.

KA-EFFING-BOOM!!!!! . . Trump, with this team behind him (including the Administration savants yet-to-be-named) will be like a human dynamo. THey cannot even slow him down, never mind "stop" him. . . This is going to be fun.

Indeed it is. Most leftists have never worked 18 hr days, seven days a week with a short vacation here or there to recharge the batteries. Trump et al will be the BOOM administration. They will get more done in a year than the last 20 yrs. . More popcorn please.

“The media bubble is the ultimate symbol of what’s wrong with this country,” he continues. “It’s just a circle of people talking to themselves who have no f—ing idea what’s going on. If The New York Times didn’t exist, CNN and MSNBC would be a test pattern. The Huffington Post and everything else is predicated on The New York Times. It’s a closed circle of information from which Hillary Clinton got all her information — and her confidence. That was our opening.”


Yup. This guy nailed it.

“predicted exactly how things would play out”

The full sentence is:

“As a preface, Wolff reveals that Bannon - unlike virtually anyone else in the “credible” - media predicted exactly how things would play out”

Thank you. Actually, I did go read the whole article, I was just frustrated with the sloppy editing.

MAGA Pepe!

In all seriousness though both the MAGA acronym and Pepe meme I believe had the interesting effect of bonding together the different parts the Trump Coalition with positivity and humor.

We all know the goal MAGA The liberals/democrats I've talked to had no idea about either of these things.

I'm surprised at how disengaged many of the libs were this season.

She may get a pardon from Ovomit. But she still has to deal with people that hate her guts.

She will always have to worry about where she goes. She deserves everything coming her way.

At the risk of sounding like a bonehead, what does “MAGA” mean, gaijin-san?

OVomit may pardon her for FEDERAL crimes, but she, Bill, and Chelsea (and many others) may well face consequences for any broken STATE laws. I don’t know specific laws, but given the overabundance of laws, attorneys should still have plenty of available work here. At least I hope so!

I worked for 25 years in manufacturing of heavy machinery. My last year there was 1986, and I was making $23/hour which was good money in 1986. I resigned to go work for a government funded agency. There are lots of higher paying jobs in manufacturing besides the lowest level worker.
