Discussion: Trump: 'I Like Bannon' But Don't Give Him Much Credit (Or Call Him A Racist)

“Tell Bannon it was only business. I always liked the guy.”

He’s losing it - panicking and flailing. Sad!

That’s because Trump just finished reading Sarah Palin’s new book, “How To Rite Grate Speaches And Talk Good.”

“I like him. He’s a good man,” Trump said. “He actually gets a very unfair press in that regard. But we’ll see what happens with Mr. Flynn Bannon. But he’s a good person and I think the press treats him frankly very unfairly.”

Sounds vaguely familiar.

So when Bannon gets bounced on his ass, does that open the door for Alex Jones to join the Oval Trailer staff?

Director of Mis-Communication?

So does this…

maniacal: adjective: 1. affected with or suggestive of madness: maniacal laughter: maniacal energy: a maniacal killer 2. characterized by ungovernable excitement or frenzy: frantic: a maniacal mob: maniacal fans

Every investigative reporter in DC is thinking of buying a case of whatever Bannon drinks. There going to be a lot of fun “exit” interviews with Bannon now that Trump is putting him down.

I think he was referring to the 16 - 17 senators and governors he was running against in the primaries: cruz, rubio, bush, et al.

That’s it. Thanks. Makes much more sense now. But, he still can’t quite get to an acceptable level of coherence.

Nancy Pelosi, my representative, said this yesterday, and she lays the blame on Bannon. Rs should not argue with this. Add her words to those of Murdoch and others encouraging Bannon to step down.

The President’s statement on Saturday was a direct reflection of the fact that his chief strategist, Steve Bannon, is an alt-right white supremacist sympathizer and a shameless enforcer of those un-American beliefs. In his long overdue statement today, President Trump called white supremacists ‘repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.’ If the President is sincere about rejecting white supremacists, he should remove all doubt by firing Steve Bannon and the other alt-right white supremacist sympathizers in the White House.

From the beginning, President Trump has sheltered and encouraged the forces of bigotry and discrimination. President Trump’s failure to immediately denounce white supremacy is well in line with the unmistakable conduct of his Administration toward immigrants, Muslims, and communities of color.

Not to worry Steve. You’re not going anywhere until you teach Trump that special anatomically difficult technique that the Mooch talked about. Keep your mouth shut, and you can stay.

These special friends of rump aren’t going anywhere … believe me, bigly !!! He was elected … he is president …that’s all folks !!!

Just to point out two … Todd and Quomo (along with the rest of cable news) are absolutely complicit in this mans election and some patriot should open a can of “WhipAss” on both of them…

Hillary Clinton told the entire fucking country in measured and accurate terms what Rump was and is. This election will go down in world history as the biggest fuck up of any democracy … large or small !!!

No more “Steve,” eh? It’s “Mr. Bannon.”

Well, Erik Prince must be rooting through the Washington landfill today looking for some other sponsor for his plan to pig up the U.S. Treasury. The Mercers will give Mr. B a soft landing, no doubt, but will they now reject Trump for not being the useful tool Bannon said he’d be? I like their money being lashed to Trump’s sinking ship instead of blowing into the pockets of potentially less dysfunctional fascists.

Bannon must know it’s coming. Wonder how many “cookies” he’s leaving behind…

Maybe because Donnie insists on being called by his last name?

This cartoon reminds me of a syllogism (at least I think it’s a syllogism) which may be useful in understanding Trump “ambiguity” on this issue…

All Nazis are fascist, but not all fascists are Nazis.

We all know we’re supposed to hate Nazis, because John Wayne fought the Nazis. Hating Nazis is part of our cultural identity. It’s easy to say “I hate Nazis”, because they are a faceless other from all those WWII movies. In this most recent tirade, Trump is trying to parse the syllogism. Nazis are bad, not all those guys were Nazis. The problem is, they’re all still fascists, even the ones he’d like to separate from the outright Nazis. We get that. He does not. Bannon is a fascist. Gorka is a fascist. We get that. Trump just wants us to know they’re not Nazis.
