Trump has turned the Senators and Reps he has into Trump loyalists. They’re on the Trump Train now and Bannon is done.
“Trump has turned the Senators and Reps he has into Trump loyalists. They’re on the Trump Train now and Bannon is done.”
Don’t be fooled. They’re still loyal to the $wamp. That’s how they get paid and earn their millions.
The only reason they’re supporting Trump is they now believe they have leverage over him so can get some of the things they want. Such as protection of investment banker tax loopholes (done), DACA amnesty (in the works), no border wall (in the works), etc.
They don’t represent Americans’ interests, only their own. Hopefully Trump won’t ‘work with them’ any more than he has to. With Bannon gone there’s no one in the WH Administration I know of to push the America First economic and other nationalist (vs. globalist) policies. There are plenty of Globalists though, like the ones who speak badly and leak about Bannon.
Personally, I trust Bannon more than any of them. They’re all part of a culture that worships power and their access to it for personal gain. Promoting policies which use that political power to serve the best interests of the nation and the states is anathema to them. It’s like kryptonite. It takes their power to exploit the political process for their own gain away from them. This is why we hear politicians and pundits calling the tax reform theft. Because it takes away their access to power and money. That’s why they’re there. That’s all they’re about.
Unless I hear Bannon say it or hear it second hand from Rush, David Horowitz, Dennis Prager or a member of the Freedom Caucus then Bannon didn’t say it or do it. I suspect the vast majority of the unsourced ‘Bannon said, Bannon did’ is Fake News. They do it to Trump but people don’t think they’d do it his political strategist who authored the platform that elected Trump?
