President Donald Trump distanced himself from his former chief strategist Steve Bannon on Wednesday, contending that "he not only lost his job" but also "lost his mind" when he left the White House.
On Wednesday, excerpts from an upcoming Michael Wolff book showed that Bannon called a June 2016 meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer "treasonous" and "unpatriotic."
This is breaking news. Please check back for updates.

I share your instincts, but suspect that Trump and Bannon are playing the media with disinformation. My gut feeling is that President Trump is having the time of his life manipulating the press with strategic leaks.

Good to hear, Yaelle.......... Bannon may be on a two month bender, but I don't think he'd knock off a beautiful, excellent man like Andrew!
Yep. See post 98.
I wonder if we are all witnessing a big media/political sideshow here today?
“Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain”.
Yesterday, it was bad enough thinking of Romney being a Senator.
Today, speculation is that he might challenge President Trump in 2020. Yikes.
Ha! Romney is Jeb! Lite.
>> This dumpster fire is not an example of “winning” in any way <<
Cut it out. Your Nattering Negativism not needed. This stuff is an example of 3-D chess at its finest — maybe even N-dimensional hyper-chess!
If he did call them traitors he must be working with Mueller.
Last tweet on there is dated 2014!
He does NOT tweet - sans the one you linked

see post # 93.
That did suk.
Trump hasn’t said squat about Bannon on this - don’t fall for this stupid idiot ‘game’.
Romney = Jeb Lite would be Jeb Translucent to Insubstantial !
Hard to say which because there isn’t enough there to make an exact determination.

Mostly only when he's drunk.
It seems contrived to me. This reminds me or Trump telling Tillerson to stop negotiating. Bannon has been in Trump’s corner so his quote came out of left field (except that he obviously has a major problem with Jared)
If Bannon backstabbed the President, and in such a Sleazy way, then to Hell with Bannon, and if Breitbart backs Bannon, then screw them too.

smart
No, this is real.
TRUMP has responded big time and released his retort with both guns b
Steve Bannon can chill or go away, if he thinks he can bulldog Trump and this Trump supporter.
Bannon is acting like that Cuban, Che, a mad man, unleashed, hurting Trump and providing demolition wiring for the Left.
but the Response from the white house makes it real news now...They either layed this trapped or stepped into one.
Of course it doesn’t make sense, it’s all a big fat lie!
There have been no statements by Trump, no tweets by Bannon (that’s a fake account btw) and seems the author took liberties in telling the story.
It’s so pathetic, here we fight against the real fake news and yet stupidly fall for something so juvenile...I can’t believe the comments on here. Think people - think!
This sure as heck is “not the time” for Bannon to be going after POTUS Trump’s family, for heaven’s sake. If any of this b.s. did not come from Bannon, he needs to immediately disavow and work to clean up the mess that’s been attached to his name.
I have no use for Javanka, but Don, Jr. is valuable, and anyway, calling people so close to the POTUS “treasonous” is typical Democrat/MSM nonsense, not what any genuine MAGA advocate would be doing.
