Politics Trump - What has he done now???

I'm fairly sure Bannon "resigned" in the same sense that high ranking officials usually do. He's going to be spending plenty of time with his family, I'm sure.

Unless Kuttner is fabricating some or all of his interview it seems that Bannon was not aware on Tuesday that he'd resigned on Monday. He talked about staffing changes he wanted to make and how he planned to go about it. Either he's delusional or someone is trying to do some damage control.

 

Actually @martian I do think he escaped
I don't think he's that stupid to do the interview and not expect it to get out.
I believe he did it on purpose
To get unfiltered information out
And a face saving excuse to get out.
And perhaps he coordinated with Trump,
But I'm unsure it goes that way or why.

 

I think you're underestimating his ego. Bannon didn't expect Kuttner to go public with their conversation because Bannon thought Kuttner would be dazzled by getting a call from White House Chief Strategist Great Manipulator Bannon. Bannon thought he could feed Kuttner some transparently manipulative breadcrumbs and Kuttner would fall right in line and do what Bannon asked him to do. I think he buys wholeheartedly into his own mythology, and thought he could use Kuttner as a political instrument, and that's exploded in his face.

Assuming this was all pre-orchestrated doesn't really fit the MO of a guy who likes to engage in dick-waving contests with his boss's son-in-law, and thinking that Trump had some hand in arranging a "fire my chief strategist to make it look like we're on the outs when really we're up to some greater shenanigans" scheme really stretches credulity.

Y'all are assuming these guys are far more competent than they've demonstrated themselves to be.

 

It's going to get weirder...

 

No shit...

You can see it coming like a bad Hollywood plot.

Made an actual law-breaker...constant law-breaker...above the law.

 

Trump may be "old-school"...REALLY old-school.

The only good thing is #5
5 things Trump did this week while you weren't looking

I'm all about capitalism...but I'm not fully laissez faire
#3 is only good common sense to keep conflict of interest restrained...but it is a soft target to manage.

Oops

 

I wonder when her resignation will be announced to have already happened?

 

Uhh...I've heard of "keeping your allies close and your enemies closer"
But he may have misunderstood the concept...
Conservatives direct ire at GOP leaders — not Trump

The GOP leaders are pissed that he cut a deal with the Dems
And now they're being blamed and politically harmed by their supposed "supporters"
Hamstringing themselves both ways.

Now that I have ANY sympathy for them. (where's the world's smallest violin, when you need it??)
While I do have some conservative values, the GOP went mucky swamp and then some...playing vile hardball. (and I don't respect that)

Does it seem that he's just going out of his way to piss people off???
Actually, I was reading another article saying he's starting to realize how much people don't like him - "People really f@&@ing hate me."

REALLY???

Sure, when it seems that you get up every morning after throwing everyone under the bus on twitter in the middle of the night,
thinking "what kind of dick move can I do today??"

It's like his goal is to go down in history in true infamy.
Without actually killing anyone. (so far...)
