Lots of memes and jokes floating around about this comment but consider the possibility - what if he's right.

The assessment of "fine-tuned" has to be made through the lens of the goals. What is he trying to achieve.

What if we're making an assumption that he's actually trying to achieve a functioning government. Through that lens, he's out in la la land and there's nothing fine-tuned about this machine. But what if what Bannon is trying to accomplish is the perception (and eventual reality) of chaos and anarchy, what if this is the actual goal. If that's true - then it might just be that fine-tuned machine. We talk about this and wonder if we'll ever recover from Trump...and Bannon wants to break it all in a way that it can never be rebuilt. If (and I believe it is) that's their goal - it's hard to say they're not right on track.

We have underestimated the class buffoon before. We can't do it again. All this noise going on right now reinforces my belief that Bannon is crazy like a fox and he's calling the tune we're all dancing to.
