President Trump (to my knowledge) has never publicly stated that Bannon is leaking to the press.

Just more “according to sources” stuff.

Well, he gave him faint praise as a “nice person.” But, he said he was a leaker, and he was a late-coming flatterer to Trump’s campaign who came after Trump won the primary and didn’t have anything to do with his success. His most cutting remark: He said, “I know Steve Bannon.”

This is completely unsourced. We are just supposed to believe the author. I do not.

At this point Trump and Bannon need to play Solomon with the press.

Here is what they need to do.

1. Announce a press conference concerning Steven Bannon

2. Get the names of all of the reporters in the room and put them on an executive pardon order.

3. Start the Press conference asking if they feel that Steve Bannon needs to answer for his supposed “crimes”? When they say YES.

4. Lead Steven Bannon out in prison chains and put him on the floor in front of the press gaggle.

5. Announce that everyone on the press pool is on an executive pardon order for pardoning them for the death of Steve Bannon, and that Bannon has agreed to this ahead of time, but it is conditional that everyone in the press pool will have to unanimously agree to kill Steve Bannon and that it will be filmed and streamed online.

6. Tell them if they think that Steve Bannon is such a monster they should use their fists and feet to beat and stomp him to death and his death will be filmed.

If the press press just walks away, tell them they have chosen wisely.

If not the press is shown as the monsters they are and Steve’s Sacrifice would not be in vain.

Ha! No wonder Michael Merced was so livid about Trump’s speech.

Still winning.

Axios is a crap source citing unnamed sources

Brannon does not give interviews. While this might be his reaction I consider this article to be pure speculation

“I wonder, is it George Washington next week?

...
Not quite. Al Sharpton is now gunning for Thomas Jefferson.

True, the whole thug was a bunch of morons fighting a bunch of thugs.

There were probably a large handful of patriots there to protest the removal of the statue, but they weren’t part of the battle, I would assume.

Well I think the media needs to be called out on the absolute demonization of Steve Bannon, they have been working since before the election to paint him as someone worse than the most evil man who ever lived.

The reason is because they envy the way Breitbart took the wind out of their sails, I doubt very many of them actually believe all this crap they spew at Bannon, but they need to be called out their crap.

Punks like Acosta and the press pool like to talk a big game, but they themselves are a bunch of wimps. They should be forced to confront directly their own biases against the man.

I have come to the conclusion it does not matter what Trump says or does not say. The media is out to destroy him and will twist his words and second guess him.

I’m much more interested in what he does.

Bannon is smart enough to know this is a Soros psy-op or staged event;

paid for crisis-actors on both sides,

innocent people getting hurt and killed.

The awesomeness of this Press Conference was too awesome for the Fake News.

I am tired of people damning President Trump with faint praise.

Here is my opinion: He is GREATNESS. He might make it a BIG 4:

Washington—Jefferson—Lincoln—Trump.

I only omit Reagan because the 4 I counted were at a NATION-BUILDING moment in history.

Nation Building in AMERICA.

American Jewry looks to be out for blood, even though Trump has proved himself a friend.

Goldman Sachs and Gary Cohn can go straight to hell.
