Steve Bannon: Trump ‘maniacally focused’ on campaign vows
The Washington Times ^ | February 23, 2017 | Douglas Ernst

White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon told attendees at the 2017 Conservative Political Action Conference Thursday that President Donald Trump is focused on fulfilling campaign promises like a man possessed.

Attendees at the most famous annual gathering of American conservatives were given political red meat in the nation’s capital. Mr. Bannon, flanked by White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, told a crowd that “corporatist, globalist media” figures would be opposed every day by Mr. Trump as he attempts to deliver on his campaign vows.

“He’s laid out an agenda with those speeches, with the promises he made, and our job everyday is just to execute on that,” Mr. Bannon said. “And he’s maniacally focused on that. … If you think they’re going to give you your country back without a fight, you are sadly mistaken.”

Mr. Bannon said that Mr. Trump is regularly approached by individuals who try and get him to “waver,” only for them to be rebuffed.

“Every day in the Oval Office he tells Reince and [me], ‘I committed this to the American people. I promised this when I ran, and I’m going to deliver on this.’”(continued)

I think the word ZEALOUS would also be good!

He’s a zealot for We the People!

There are some things I like about it, but I’m not quite there.

They bring in fanatic, and that’s a bit negative.

You may be right.

I had a roll of fat there in earlier times.

It wasn’t much in the way of defense. “:^)

Is "focused" too weak?

You’re right a better word could have been used. I think it drives home the point pretty hard that Trump is goal oriented to do for us what he said he would.

It's nothing more than possessing a laser focus. Everyday Trump wakes up and sets the plan for the day, which is working on unachieved objectives. Some who have not seen a goal oriented achiever before may describe the behavior as maniacal, but it's what it takes to get the job done.

Build the wall. Deport illegals (at least 11 million of them, perhaps more). Repeal Obamacare. Reduce the cost and intrusiveness of government. Appoint conservative judges and Justices. If he keeps those five promises, even if he accomplishes nothing more, I’ll be thrilled.

Nothing wrong with a united front - it’s how the Left has won so much even thought their ideas and reasons were all to the detriment of our Freedom - being united behind a just cause is the only way we can win.

Exactly, in just those 5 he may have saved America, or at worst, halted its decline.

Did Bannon use the word ‘maniacally’?

I didn’t hear it in that YouTube clip.

Get snotty much? Does it iritate your chronic red@$$ to see harmony and teamwork in the White House; the 180° opposite of what the Fake News hucksters are trying to tell us is happening?

Yeah.....but they took his ‘maniacal’ and it became ‘ obsessed’.....

Bannon didn’t say ‘obsessed’

It’s the nice thing about business people, they execute. Government workers just twiddle counting the hours to retirement and their pension.
