Steve Bannon believed President Donald Trump had early-stage dementia in 2017 and started a covert campaign to get him removed via the 25th Amendment, a veteran '60 Minutes' producer revealed in a new book.

Producer Ira Rosen wrote in his memoir, 'Ticking Clock: Behind the Scenes at 60 Minutes,' that Bannon began reaching out to Trump allies during the summer of 2017 and had conversations with them about the then-president's mental state.

'He believed Trump was suffering from early-stage dementia and that there was a real possibility he would be removed from office by the Twenty-Fifth Amendment, where the cabinet could vote that the president was no longer mentally capable of carrying out his duties,' Rosen wrote. 'Bannon began to push that story hard.'

“Steve Bannon believed Donald Trump had early-stage dementia and started covert campaign to use 25th Amendment to remove him from office”

Isn’t this actionable?

They can’t even lie good.

To what end would Bannon do this? Put Pence in charge? Paul Ryan? Bannon would lose all power and access immediately.

Someone must be getting worried about Bannon’s ‘War Room’ telecast.

The man peddling this fake news is not so smart. Steve Bannon is still alive to debunk his statements. He should have chosen a deceased person or the standard anonymous source to quote instead.
