Whow. I am listening to Trumps statement about Bannon right now....

[riversedge]

just now on msnbc. smack down. I will post when I see it in print.

[Zorro]

1. Trump ain't happy about Bannon, is he?

Yeah, I'm pinging the MSNBC site over and over waiting for Trump's response to be posted.

[riversedge]

3. I just posted it below...........Says Bannon had little to do with his victory.

[riversedge]

2. Here it is. Trump is MAD angry mad (of course he is crazy mad also).....

7. Is this exposure real or are Bannon and Trump in cahoots to divert attention...book or no book?

You can't trust either one, but did we miss a "break-up" between the two or is that to come? Too much, too convenient.

[exboyfil]

15. That would be some high level chess

Bannon and Flynn. Who else but family members are left.

[Irish_Dem]

55. No, Trump's fragile ego would never allow this strategy.

If someone else were humiliated than yes, you might be right.

Also this story has the ring of truth to it.

[NCTraveler]

9. You saw him say this?

Wow. I mean wow. This is akin to shooting someone in the middle of the street. We'll see if they will stick with him.

[riversedge]

92. No, I did not see trump say this. It is a White House release.

[NCTraveler]

93. Thank you.

I’m still taken back by it.

[marble falls]

10. Rich. Truly rich!

[dixiegrrrrl]

60. Shorter version:

[BoneyardDem]

83. what a pathetic, petty, totally unpresidential official statement

what a buffoon...and I mean both of them.

[ProfessorGAC]

85. As Said Elsewhere. . .

. . . Trump didn't write that. Each paragraph is a cogent thought and the next thought comes in the next paragraph.

This was written by a staff member.

[iluvtennis]

87. Agreed. He doesn't know how to write a reasoned/understandable statement

[marble falls]

4. I hope it goes 16 rounds. I love a good troll fight!

[MontanaMama]

11. Troll Fight!

Hilarious.

[lagomorph777]

58. Ugly, man...

[MontanaMama]

72. Oh dear...

I was thinking the trolls would be more like this:

[lagomorph777]

73. Ewwwwwww! Even uglier!!!

[NightWatcher]

5. Isn't this scary/entertaining as shit?

We're watching the terminal stage of trump. The anti-Americans who put him in office are starting to "burn it all down" (trump quote on the bannon quotes today).

[riversedge]

8. my emotions are in a titter today. too much of trump and NK I think.

[Irish_Dem]

57. Yes, entertaining but scary. Poor judgement, ignorance, acting out.

All dangerous traits in a president.

[NightWatcher]

62. And in the voters who put him there.

[Irish_Dem]

64. Yes, and the corruption of the GOP congress which supports Trump. nt

[greatauntoftriplets]

6. And who will he have his next pissing contest with?

[marble falls]

18. He saves pissing contests for trips to Moscow, apparently.

[greatauntoftriplets]

34. This tragicomedy gets nuttier by the moment.

[marble falls]

36. I know. I just ordered a 100# sack of pop-corn.

[greatauntoftriplets]

38. Didn't buy much, did you?

[marble falls]

41. I'm beginning to think that Steve Bannon wrote the letter and this is a con job.

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/01/03/donald-trump-furious-steve-bannon-not-only-lost-his-job-he-lost-his-mind/

[greatauntoftriplets]

42. Seems to be a whole lot of projecting going on.

[HopeAgain]

52. Did you really just link to Breitbart?

I'm going to have to bleach my computer now...

[marble falls]

56. Sorry. I had to go to the source of the poop to get the poop. Id print the "article" but all it did

was confirm that this is a put up. They sure got their article up fast. This is a prefab controversy.

[renate]

77. that's an interesting theory... definitely something to keep in mind

Even after years of BS from Trump and a year of his nonstop horror, I'm still way too gullible/hopeful and I didn't even consider that possibility. I think your idea is definitely worth considering as this plays out.

[spanone]

12. trump says 'bannon has lost his mind'

[Irish_Dem]

53. Oh I missed that tidbit in the article. Amazing.

[riversedge]

13. Wow this WH statement on Bannon. When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind.

Wow this WH statement on Bannon. “When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind.”

[Pachamama]

30. I believe what Trump is doing is called "Projecting"....

Because it is very clear to all of us who has lost his mind....

[Irish_Dem]

63. He projects every time he opens his mouth, but yes this is a stellar example. nt

[malaise]

14. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah says Bannon has lost his mind

and has no influence on the WH.

Mad and madder at war

[montanacowboy]

19. Well it takes someone who has lost his mind

to recognize another who has lost his mind

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA you can't make this shit up!

[malaise]

20. Seriously this is too good

[wcmagumba]

16. I agree with the possibility...

that these a-holes are continuing to troll the public by pretend trolling each other...imo

[HopeAgain]

54. To what end?

I know some Trumpies... they thought Bannon walked on water. He represented the most ardent of Trumps ardent base. I don't think either of them are smart enough to play as a team like that. Trump's ego is to big to let someone dis him or his administration, even if it is a ruse.

I think Bannon has decided he doesn't need Trump or that Trump is already gone.

[Irish_Dem]

66. I agree totally. Trump is a fragile narcissist. Ego would never permit this humiliation.

Steve is out for Steve.

[Eko]

17. Doesnt sound like Trump at all.

Sounds like someone who actually knows how to put a paragraph together, not dump who can’t even make a sentence.

[marble falls]

21. I'd pay $20 to know who actually wrote it, wasn't Trump or Huckleberry.

[mainstreetonce]

23. Oh that was donnie himself

No doubt about it.

[marble falls]

26. Donnie talks and writes like an eight year old. Maybe Barron wrote it, he's 10.....n/t

[Ligyron]

67. I agree, no way Trump actually wrote this.

Grammar and word choice way beyond his capabilities.

[MGKrebs]

28. Wouldn't be hard to believe it was Jr. who wrote it.

[marble falls]

33. Reads too well, even for Jr. Still, its a possibilty. No way Eric wrote it. "Lost his mind" does ...

sound like Jr, though.....

[Blue_true]

25. I read it, you seem right. Way to intelligently written and spelled to have Trump write it. nt

[kentuck]

29. My thought also...it wasn't written by Trump.

Probably Stephen Miller?

[SMC22307]

94. He's a particularly nasty one...

and who first came to mind.

[monmouth4]

35. Kellyann ..Bet it was her..n/t

[Eko]

39. Sounds about right for her.

[dalton99a]

44. Yep.

[Irish_Dem]

71. I think Trump is ranting and raving right now, and someone else wrote this piece based

on some of Trump's outbursts. It is a cleaned up and calmed down version of
Trump's shouting and screaming.

[uponit7771]

88. +1

[Puzzledtraveller]

90. Bannon wrote it.

[mainstreetonce]

22. I can't wait till he goes the same way on Jr and Jared

There is not enough popcorn on the shelves.

[ProudLib72]

24. What we have here...

Are two gorillas flinging massive turds at each other. It isn't pretty, but it's fun to watch.

[Thomas Hurt]

27. Nothing to do with his Presidency...........Trump just put him on the NSC thats all.

[dalton99a]

31. It could be just for show

[lunasun]

49. Yeah that's my opinion . Unfortunately

^^this^^ is what he actually has some experience doing.

[Puzzledtraveller]

91. Totally

This is can serve to distract media and Democrats and muddy the waters. It really adds nothing, not even more credibility to the claims and investigation but could poison the well. Talk about kabuki.

[AlexSFCA]

32. fun to watch splitting the base

[dalton99a]

45. On this corner, we have

[samnsara]

37. let the fight begin!

[marble falls]

40. I'm thinking the letter was written by Steve Bannon:

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/01/03/donald-trump-furious-steve-bannon-not-only-lost-his-job-he-lost-his-mind/

Be sure to shower off after reading.

[bdamomma]

43. Could they possibly include

the other Steve too, Stephen Miller, he is out of his mind too.

[maxrandb]

46. I know it's redundant to say it, but

there is all kinds of crazy pouring out of this statement.

" won the nomination by defeating seventeen candidates, often described as the most talented field ever assembled in the Republican party." - the voices in his head again telling him he defeated the "greatest field" ever assembled

"Now that he is on his own, Steve is learning that winning isn’t as easy as I make it look" - Nobody wins like Donnie Short Fingers...ya' hear me?

"our historic victory, which was delivered by the forgotten men and women of this country" - this is Sally Fields yelling "You Love Me! You Really Love Me!" at the Oscars

"Steve was rarely in a one-on-one meeting with me" - Steve, I hardly knew ya'...ya' putz"

"Like me, they love the United States of America" - Not like Dems, who--like--hate it!

FUCK EVERY LAST GOD DAMN PERSON THAT VOTED FOR THIS FUCKING PRICK!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Irish_Dem]

74. Yes, no need for a formal mental health eval for Trump.

We have all the info we need right in front of us.

[Bleacher Creature]

47. This is going to get both ugly and terrifying. NT

[Irish_Dem]

75. I believe it is going to get much worse. nt

[frogmarch]

48. I don't think trump himself wrote it.

Too many bigly words and complete sentences.

[Eyeball_Kid]

81. Absolutely

[Kentonio]

50. I went to FR for some cheap laughs after seeing this.

Was not disappointed.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

51. Reads like hate notes passed between high school kids.

Leader of the free world?? LOL.

.................. ..................

[Irish_Dem]

76. Exactly, what age level is represented here? nt

[0rganism]

59. smackdown in crazytown

[Irish_Dem]

61. Soon we will get to the point that there is no need for a psych eval for Trump.

All the data needed for the eval is in the public domain.

[Irish_Dem]

65. Trump has many enemies. This is just the first round.

Paybacks are hell Donald.

[gvstn]

68. Just saw this over at JoeMyGod comment section. Seems about right.

The Trump - Bannon relationship in one gif...

[JHB]

69. Little Desk Donnie says what?

[Freethinker65]

70. Nice response. Wonder who wrote it?

[mountain grammy]

78. So who do the Nazis follow now?

This might split the base. Breaking up with Bannon might actually get their attention. Are we Nazis or not?

[Eyeball_Kid]

79. Guaranteed: it wasnt written by Trumpy.

[randr]

80. The fat lady is tuning up

[regnaD kciN]

82. Mad King Donald must have found out...

...that Bannon's nuclear button is bigger.

[OriginalGeek]

84. It would be pretty tough to convince me

this wasn't theater on their part. At lunch with my conservativ-ish boss we saw the CNN crawl with this story and I said then I didn't believe it. The right knows how much we love to think they are falling apart and they love to have their little "gotcha" moments because they think it makes up for real gotcha moments like when Palin can't recall any of the many magazines she reads.

They think it means something to see us LOL'ing when it was all a set-up.

[peggysue2]

86. Can't figure out if this is for real or . . .

political theater to distract us from something else. Maybe something getting ready to swing around the corner with Mueller's check mark on it. The Trumpster has been tweeting out a storm with all kinds of crazy, now Bannon deliberately bites the Orange One and his clan and we end up with a food fight after school.

The cray-cray just keeps coming.

Btw, are we to believe the Trumpster wrote this response? Not in hot New York minute. I vote Kelly Anne or Sarah. Terrific projection, too:

When Bannon lost his job, he lost his mind.

You can't make this stuff up. Really, do they ever listen to themselves??

Obviously not.

[Puzzledtraveller]

89. Don't fall for it

This is total triangulation, something smells real bad. This is way too scripted.
