Former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon releases new film 'Trump @ War.' On 'The Ingraham Angle,' Bannon addresses the anonymous NYT op-ed and Trump's relationships with members of his administration.

I've been telling my wife this is a political coup ever since Hillary and Comey.

"Gary Cohen and these guys are the investors relations department of the Chinese regime." Bannon got that right! All these never-Trumper war mongering Bush establishment Republicans have made their money by investing in foreign stocks while advocating policies that export US business and jobs oversees.

Lets focus on the positives, remind voters what we have accomplished and how we got here, and we need everyone to vote Red this November to continue this winning.

President Trump the Lionheart! This MAGA crusade is awesome. We stand with Trump!

We love you Steve Bannon thanks for your support for president Trump and speaking the truth.

Obama will go down into history for being the first 'black' president, nothing more, nothing less.

please americans, vote for trump on the mid terms! from France (i love your president, amazing results! and giga balls!)

Place Obama, Clinton, Rice, Jarrett, Brennan, Comey, Mueller, Rosenstein, Soros, and the rest, under a military tribunal. They should all be hung on the capitol steps. We are getting tired of asking, soon we will not ask, it’s your move, for now. Tick Tock

I'm an Aussie and this is a disgrace, elected by the people and the country well BS press knock him. Trump keep it up we gotch ya back 😉

Im a pretty left leaning person. Pro gay marriage, save the whales, yada yada... but seeing these pukes on the left trying to take away free speech, lie to minorities to get their vote, fake news and spread racial tension etc has made me sick to my stomach and i will side with anyone whose aim is to crush anti free speech. Everyone i know feels this way now. We need to smash these pussies into oblivion for even attempting to take free speech from us and impose their censorship. Free speech must be preserved at any cost.

This is all part of the lefts plan to get trump impeached. Dont think the timing of all this was a coincidence, less than 50 days away from the midterm elections. They did this on purpose to create turmoil in the whitehouse. So now that Trump has called to have this investigated by the doj, the left can say hes attacking free speech and freedom of the press. Nothing the left does is random or an accidnet. But it just goes to show how hypocritical the left really is. Theyre going to attack trump by saying hes attacking free speech and freedom of the press all while the left shuts down every conservative social media voice fof no reason whatsoever. The left has lost their mind and it makes me sick. They are the most anti american group of people ive ever seen. Its unreal.

Mr. President Trump, you have my vote in 2020, now keep your promise, lets indict some pedophiles.......

God bless you and protect you president Donald Trump. Trump till 2024 period. Republicans boom

May Great God The Most High put a hedge around president Donald Trump and around his family members

i don't know who is worse for America future ,china government or Holywood actor's or democrats?🤔

Make no mistake, the Dems, along with their tech oligarchs, are making a bold push to alter the outcome of the mid-terms in November. Stifling conservative voices on social media, tweaking search results, banning channels, etc. They are desperate, so they are forced to take desperate measures. This is a fight for the very soul of this nation. If the Dems win in November, it's over. Get out and vote. We can't let these evil bastards retake the House and Senate.

Only a few a bold enough to call it what it is. It's a coup by the left. Mr. President, please, for the Love of God and country, deal with this treasonous lot. May Truth and Justice be served. Great progress on the economy, even great progress on immigration but millions of Americans attention has turned to the treasonous elites, the ones that continue to sell us down the river. God help you Mr. President to reverse this government corruption. The People need to see and hear the traitors are brought to justice. God Speed President Trump!

Weren't we supposed to be at war with another country? Wasn't Trump going to run us headlong into armed conflict? I mean we're hunting ISIS, al Shaba'ab, and Taliban, but that's not new and they aren't countries. So Dems, where's muh war?

Funny, the Democrats have been saying how Trumps economic policies are failing, but Obama is out taking credit for the improvement.

She did nit say that. Nkki said IF she disagrees with Trump she knows he appreciates her talking about it.

Thanks NY Times for FINALLY admitting that the "Deep State" is real, and for publicizing the fact that there are members of the administration working directly against the President. That is the very definition of a "coup" attempt under way.

President Trump! There are millions of us LOYAL, DEDICATED, PATRIOTS who would be "PROUD" to work for you and the Country. DRAIN THE SWAMP, HIRE YOUR BASE, LET'S FINISH THIS FIGHT!!!

I can't say I like everything President Trump has done so far, but in comparison to the last several Presidents and 16 years of horrible anti constitutional bills and policies, President Trump is outstanding. God Bless America and God Bless President Trump.

It all boils down to all these lib clowns trying to protect their pensions and in many cases their lives or freedom..

Steve got right on the nail.everything that Trump has accomplished was said that it couldn't be done.We still have a lot of resentment from long time Republican senators that were and still are working for their own projects. The only way they would passed something thru Congress or the Senate was if their bill was attached to it.they really never worked for the benefit of the American people.Trump is a very intelligent and business leader .He might not always be political correct but the American people can deal with honesty. There is a reason why friend and not so friendly countries have come to terms in working with him.He will not let the U.S.A. and its people down.Steve knows 1st hand that you can be a friend but don't tried backstabbing cause he will after you.Steve needs to be a good American and help our President and our Country fight all of swamp that's in Washington. The Democrats, liberals Hollywood crowd and the Cowards that write books to discredit our President.Mr.President we have your back.the American people of all races that have seen their dreams becoming reality.God Bless You and Keep you safe to finish the job.

If the fbi can raid Cohen’s office, why can’t they raid NYT. What’s the difference. Lawyer/client privilege is just as important and someone dropping crap to the news media.

I thought sloppy Steve hit skid row when Donald threw him under the Access Hollywood bus. He disappeared for awhile during banishment. Lo & behold & voila! Here he is now again on Fox News! Given a shave, some mouthwash & a new suit & he's back jack still looking sloppy & spouting bullshit. Some stupid men never learn when to give up & are shameless. Ego is a dirty word!

WAAAA Waaaa Trump is draining the swamp tell me Whoopi this just isn't so. I am moving to Canada were they are good to there swamp rats. What will be next will they turn off the free money. We need more insanity to save the swamp. DemoRats please help.

Amazing that America continues to survive. GOD is Sovereign in the affairs of men! Thank you, President Trump, for exposing dark lies by just being you!

Goldman Sachs cares not a speck for the USA. They are the front group for the global elites who want all manufacturing in China, where they can control the population using AI monitoring and Communistic controls. They are ruining what could be a great time to be alive. Evil greedy bastards.

We are getting very very close to having too ACTUALLY FIGHT BACK ! ! Trump 2020 !!

Trump said right from the beginning that Hilary and the DNC are crooked and the Republican Party is full of fake career politicians. We can now see he was right all along. Trust the plan.

This is how fake the fake news is. They've been saying for a year that Bannon hates trump and is plotting revenge lolol. Thanks for staying loyal to the country and the cause Bannon!

Think about the English and the Austrailian's and there part in this mess...Can you say ACT OF WAR!

If the "left" go ahead with such a plan, people must rise and directly demand of the Military to take counter action and pick up all traitors by the scruff of the neck and throw them directly into Gitmo....then proceed with Trump and good lawyers to judge and condemn them case by case while they are, for us, safely behind bars. Period !

Fellow Patriots, be sure to vote Republican during midterms 2018. Be patient. WWG1WGA.

How does someone go from talking crap about Trump to now kissing his butt again? Vote for Democratic Socialism! Progress and moving forward is what makes America better.

Makeup cannot make these two look decent, perhaps it comes from their core. Trumps best people are just doing what's best. Let them do their job, protect America from a madman. He hired the best senior aids! Lets not forget that. Steve, you suffer from extreme Insulin resistance, your diet is not good, discipline and healthy living would help you live longer before the devil takes you forever.

CNN and Fox don't even bother with pretense of journalistic impartiality anymore. What is the point of news media these days?

Thank you, Steve! You are a true conservative warrior and Trump ally. We love you and miss you.

This guy is totally wrong. Think about why the supply chains were moved out of the US, Moving those back is largely nonsense, because that would only bring back excessive production capacities and surely the inflation given the much higher labor costs in the US. In the long run it would end up in a worse situation, much higher prices and certainly unemployment still haunting. History has indicated again and again that the unemployment in the US is a perpetual structural problem coexisting with the country long long before China becomes a conspicuous enemy, or an enemy Banon concocted to make people believe.

Steve Bannon gets it right again. Individuals and powerful groups within the WH, Congress and some large corps are trying to get President Trump out of the White House. They are against the Constitution.

What a love in with the two of them. Fake news. Spanky is going down, just wait for it.

Trump minions are eunichs that serve Russian interests. Happy there are secret patriots in the Whitehouse that have joined the Resistance.

NICE! Get it all out in the open so we all know what's at stake and who is for what! No more BS and lies.

It's time to admit that Trump has failed because he is weak and because he lied. He wasn't willing to fight the establishment the way he promised his supporters he would. Instead he's tried to cut deals with the establishment he was elected to fight. Trump has failed and betrayed his supporters.

I wouldn't be surprised to find it is a concoction by NYT writers with some low ranking contact in the white house.

Looking forward to Fahrenheit 11/9 and American Chaos, two fine anti-Trump documentaries which will be soon playing at a theater near you! 👍👍

If the Democrats and mass media are against one man then you know hes good for the country. The dems are scared of Trump since hes basically humiliated them and made them show their true nature.

I'm amazed the people who think the Democratic Party is good. Their history and track record are far from that. They are pure evil and the ugliness they have displayed since the election should scare the hell out of Americans. Trump 2020.

The two biggest mistakes of the Trump presidency were firing Steve Bannon and not firing James Comey on day one.

New TrumpWorld Theories: No One Wrote The NYT Op-Ed. Or A Dozen People Did.

ALLAHPUNDIT Posted at 1:31 pm on September 11, 2018

I don’t get the Roger Stone theory, which predictably strays towards InfoWars maximum-treachery territory.

ROGER STONE: This is the most popular parlor game in Washington and in New York right now. I have a theory that no one wrote it. Meaning that it’s a fabrication. A McGuffin…
[I]f you read the actual op-ed, it would argue that the adults are in charge.
In all honesty, Chris, the adults were in charge for the last 30 years. What did it get us? Foreign war which cost us billions and many lives without our inherent national interests being clear. A stagnant economy. The erosion of our civil liberties. A broken immigration system. Trade deals that were one-sided and benefitted our partners and not our country. It sucked the jobs out of America. Frankly, I don’t think we were better off when the adults, meaning the establishment, was in charge.

By “no one,” I assume he means no one in the administration. It’s a fabrication by the Times itself, in other words, an out-and-out fraud on the public. Even if you’re willing to believe that the Times would engage in behavior that unethical (which would run the risk of staffers resigning if it were found out), what good would the op-ed do the paper and its political allies apart from earning it a one- or two-day windfall of page views? Virtually everyone agrees that the piece will backfire. It’ll make Trump trust the “adults” around him less, leading him to follow his own instincts more and to staff up going forward with unqualified loyalists. The anonymous nature of the backbiting sticks in everyone’s craw, and even anti-Trumpers have conceded that refusing to carry out presidential orders because you happen to disagree with his policy vision is outrageous. It makes more sense to believe that someone in the administration really did write this and the Times chose to run it because it’s extremely newsy than to believe that the paper concocted it for political reasons. Whatever you may think of the NYT’s editors, give ’em enough credit to believe that they wouldn’t score an own-goal this spectacular if they were willing to lie outright to damage Trump.

Plus, why would the Times need to invent an op-ed like this with the Woodward book coming out? If their aim was to show that Trump’s own staff thinks he’s unfit for office, all they had to do was sit back, wait a few days for “Fear” to be published, then promote the hell out of it on the news pages.

And so we turn to the Bannon theory. Not only did someone in the administration write it, multiple people did:

Steve Bannon on the 'coup' in Washington against Trump

Meh. That’s better than Stone’s theory — certainly there are multiple people within the administration who’d endorse the op-ed, even if they had nothing to do with actually writing it. Here again, though, to make it work you’re forced to accuse the Times of an outright lie to the public in claiming that it was the product of a single “senior official.” You could hammer out a scenario, I guess, in which multiple administration officials secretly collaborated on the op-ed and then one of them approached the Times with it, claiming sole authorship. But that would be risky business: As with any conspiracy, the more people are involved, the greater the risk that someone will talk and the whole thing will unravel. If you were a Trump deputy thinking of attacking him anonymously in the pages of the country’s most famous paper, prudence would suggest you keep your intentions closely held to limit the chances of being found out. That means single authorship.

But all of this assumes that Stone and Bannon are pushing their theories because they earnestly believe them rather than as a means to some political end. Bannon, the anti-establishmentarian, is eager to advance the idea that a soft “coup” is happening around Trump because that helps his populist message. There really are treacherous Washington swamp creatures sabotaging the president at every turn. That’s why we need to throw the bums out next time and elect more Bannon-approved populist-nationalists! The more people like him there are in Washington, the less power the disloyal “deep state” will have. Stone, meanwhile, seems to be appealing to the gut of right-wingers in laying this all off on the media. Sure, there are establishment backstabbers around Trump in the White House, but you’ll never understand how deep the corruption runs until you entertain the possibility that the establishment’s favorite paper made the whole thing up. Stone’s a bit more febrile, Bannon’s a bit more calculating, but each likes the idea here of something going on that’s even more nefarious than a disloyal aide knifing the president anonymously in an op-ed. No one wrote it! Everyone wrote it!

Incidentally, PredictIt is taking bets on who the secret op-ed author is. Leading the pack is Fiona Hill, an intriguing possibility. Hill was a surprise choice to join Trump’s national security staff last year, having served in the Bush administration previously and made her mark as a critic of, uh, Vladimir Putin. If anyone inside the White House is apt to be disgruntled, particularly after the spectacle in Helsinki, it’s Hill. But for the same reason, she might be reluctant to resign and declare her opposition to POTUS’s Russia policies forthrightly: If she thinks she’d be replaced with a more Russia-friendly advisor, which is surely possible, she might feel a duty to try to keep her job and make her unhappiness with Trump known anonymously instead. She’s a plausible candidate. Which is not to say, of course, that she did it.

Dear 1 inch Group:

In case you haven’t noticed, media is getting manipulated as well as comments on various social media sites including YouTube. It was of interest to me to see a cross section of comments for this video, and worth it to me to take the time to parse out the extraneous stuff. Ten years ago on FR I recall doing the same with similar type posts when comments were part of the overall understanding to the story.

I dislike bad format as much as the next guy, but this was an attempt to capture comments before they were hidden or erased or whatever happens on the big social media sites today. Wanted to grab comments and save them for FR.

P.S. if you don’t think the Elites are cataloguing all of this themselves to take down center right conservatism, you are deluding yourself. I can’t believe you gave me guff over this post, as if you don’t understand what we are up against.

We are up against a monolithic Uniparty Elite who comprise maybe 10 percent of the population at most, but control the reins of the MSM.

Their tactic is to make us believe THEY are in the majority.

They are trying to gaslight us into thinking they have us outnumbered.

That they believed their own lie was the reason Trump won.... because they didn’t think to cheat enough!

So please, don’t put down my puny efforts to catalogue responses such as comments on this story... as an effort to show the TRUE numbers are on our side.

God bless.
