The Bannonites war with everyone and everything, including President Trump, is self defeating and a disaster.

I had a Freeper tell me I was "his enemy" because I criticized Bannon's handling of the Alabama Senate race.

Enough of this.

I have been critical of Trump's tax bill, but other than that I love the man. Now Trump is being mired in yet another needless distraction.

The end game of all things anti Trump is impeachment.

It’s not so hard to bring a charge against someone if you really want to.

Mueller will destroy lives (already has) and stop at nothing to TRY to get an indictment against Trump.

he didn’t hire 20 ultra left wing lawyers for laughs.

And the Rs better show backbone because if Trump is impeached and removed, war is on.

His poll numbers had risen to 40%. They hadn't been that high in several months. This will hurt.

What's wrong with these people, though? You work for the man. If he looks bad in the press, it doesn't help you, so why are you leaking negative info?

Look at this from the same source which confirms Bannon gave him the access and it was called "The Bannon Book":

How's this for palace intrigue? Despite knowing his trashing of President Trump was coming in Wolff's bombshell of a book, Bannon had continued talking to the president, and had even been telling friends he wanted to run Trump's reelection in 2020.

Bannon has described himself to friends as a "revolutionary" and not in an ironic way. He genuinely views himself as a transformational figure of history, who belongs in the history books. A source who knows Bannon well — and is mostly sympathetic to him — told us he thinks Bannon is even more narcissistic than Trump.

And how's this for a twist? Bannon has also told friends he'd run for president in 2020 if Trump does not, knowing the same book would include his on-the-record argument that Mueller could topple Trump.

He wants to be Trump's heir — and has a plan for positioning himself to pick up the president's unusual coalition. Bannon has been traveling the country, building his own base and name ID with his campaign to support insurgent Republicans who would run in primaries against Mitch McConnell's handpicked candidates.

The travel has had the double effect of putting Bannon in all the right places for a future run at office. It's no secret Bannon is a mischief-maker and fancies himself a Machiavellian operative. But this is some out-there behavior, and arguably the craziest episode of the Trump show:

The man who helped elect Trump last year, seemingly trying to destroy all of those around him, including the president's son and son-in-law, 12 months later.

Wolff's book was known internally as the Bannon book, because he opened the door to the author's extraordinary access. Jared Kushner, in particular, feared it would be used to settle scores. Damn, was he right.

You know what's sad in all this, Bannon, out of all the people Trump brought in, was the most dedicated to the movement and keeping the campaign promises that Trump ran on platform wise. I know he still believes in that platform. A mistake Trump made was letting too many establishment folks in the door. We needed more folks who were #MAGA folks. Trump and Bannon should have been natural allies working together.

Bannon wants candidates that will help Trump. Obviously Alabama ended in disaster, but we don't even know if those were true allegations, and I think he would have won without them. Strange wasn't a bad guy in my opinion, though, and he should have been left alone. Bannon is right in that regard to want Trump agenda supporting candidates. This book and this fracture doesn't help the movement at all and will make it harder for that goal to be achieved.

It's sad. I think perhaps Bannon's ego took over, and it did him no good.

Steve Bannon is dead to me, after handing loaded ammunition magazines to the Leftist rag “The Guardian,” and aiming the gun at Trump for them.

Bannon is dead to me.

Indeed. Sad to see supposedly conservative people adopting the habits of liberals.
