If Trump Fired Him, Would Bannon Seek Revenge? [View all]


April 14, 2017 By Taegan Goddard

Ben Schreckinger: “I asked friends and foes alike to imagine how, should Bannon get the boot, the pugnacious populist might exact his revenge.”

“Taken together, their suggestions amount to an epic, Kill Bill-style revenge saga that starts with Bannon leaking personal dirt on his enemies to the tabloids, using the megaphone of Breitbart News to exacerbate divisions inside the administration, and siccing an army of internet trolls on his adversaries to harass and defame them. It ends with Bannon using Cambridge Analytica data to identify and primary their vulnerable allies in Congress, then releasing a ‘Where Trump Went Wrong’ documentary on the eve of the November midterms and finally—in this revenge fantasy’s epic climax—running against Trump himself in 2020.”
