Steve Bannon Breaks His Silence After Firing – Drops On Trump
President Donald Trump fired his White House chief strategist Steve Bannon on Friday, and
within hours, he had returned to his old position at Breitbart and dramatically declared the
current presidency to be "over." Daily Mail reported that Bannon declared war
on his enemies, saying, "I will crush the opposition."
"I feel pumped up. I've got my hands back on my weapons," Bannon said. "I built
a f***ing machine at Breitbart. And now I'm about to go back, knowing what I know, and
we're about to rev that machine up. And rev it up we will do."
Bannon made it clear that he is coming after the people that he believes are guilty of
killing "the Trump presidency that we fought for, and won." This means that Trump's
son-in-law Jared Kushner and daughter Ivanka Trump, chief economic adviser Gary Cohn, national
security adviser H.R. McMaster, House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senator Majority leader Mitch
McConnell, are all in his crosshairs. "We still have a huge movement, and we will
make something of this Trump presidency," he said. "But that presidency is over. It'll
be something else. And there'll be all kinds of fights, and there'll be good days and
bad days, but that presidency is over." "The path forward on things like economic
nationalism and immigration, and his ability to kind of move freely … I just think his
ability to get anything done – particularly the bigger things, like the wall, the bigger,
broader things that we fought for, it's just gonna be that much harder," Bannon
said of the post-Bannon era. He went on to slam moderate Republicans, both inside the
West Wing and in Congress, for turning Trump back toward the political center.
"What Trump ran on – border wall, where is the funding for the border wall, one of
his central tenets, where have they been? Have they rallied around the Perdue-Cotton
immigration bill? On what element of Trump's program, besides tax cuts – which is going
to be the standard marginal tax cut – where have they rallied to Trump's cause? They
haven't," he continued. What do you think about this? Let us know
