And my eyes are VERY clear and wide open!
Bannon was a much bigger deal, but Gorka was just as big of a person. This all started with the firing of Flynn. Trump should have circled the wagons and given them the finger from the start, but when he didn't, it appears that Trump's pedestal of power has gotten smaller and smaller ever since anyway.
From what I can tell, Trump is now negotiating with the shadow government now and these are part of the terms. This likely means he stays in power, but might not ever actually deliver on what we wanted. Let's hope I'm wrong.
