Despite Takedown And Legal Threat, Bannon Says He Still Backs Trump

[Dulcinea]

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon says that he still believes President Trump is "a great man" and that he supports Trump "day in and day out."

He made the comments despite the fact that Trump eviscerated Bannon on Wednesday in a cutting public statement.

"Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me or my Presidency," Trump said. "When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind."

Trump's Bannon takedown came after Bannon was quoted in a new book calling the meeting that Donald Trump Jr. and other top Trump campaign advisers took with Russian intermediaries in June 2016 "treasonous" and "unpatriotic."

1. No Surprise,

the Druggie got his Book Advance and that is the bottom line.

3. I hadn't heard that Michael Wolff was a druggie

As a matter of fact, Newsweek just published a glowing article about him and didn't mention drugs at all.

5. Why did Bannon get a book advance?

He's wasn't the author.

2. Trump and Bannon Have A Mutually Symbiotic Relationship - They Need Each Other

6. Trump was a useful idiot for Bannon

That hasn't changed.

7. Bannon is trying to make nice to get back in the good graces of Rebekah Mercer.

It doesn't look like it will work. The Mercers are REALLY upset about the Wolff book. The Mercers officially broke off their relationship with Bannon and took their money with them. Bannon is now a man without a benefactor. Without money and without influence, Bannon is nobody. Couldn't happen to a nicer asshole.

8. Thank heavens.

The sooner this dogturd with hair goes back to the obscurity he so richly deserves, the better.
