https://politicalwire.com/2017/08/16/bannon-celebrates-trumps-response-charlottesville/"SNIP.............
On Tuesday night, while Gary Cohn was fuming about President Trumps latest comments, Steve Bannon was excitedly telling friends and associates that the globalists were in mass freakout mode, Jonathan Swan reports.
Today, Bannon reveled in the disbanding of the presidents business council, seeing this as yet more evidence that the Trump administration is at odds with the Davos crowd, as Bannon often calls these corporate elites, in a voice dripping with contempt.
Bannon saw Trumps now-infamous Tuesday afternoon press conference not as the lowest point in his presidency, but as a defining moment, where Trump decided to fully abandon the globalists and side with his people. Sources whove spoken with Bannon since Charlottesville say he views this moment as analogous to the campaign moment when Hillary Clinton condemned half of Trumps supporters to a basket of deplorables.'
Meanwhile, ThinkProgress notes that just 16 of 292 Republicans in Congress have released statements that call out Trump directly by name or title for his comments.

There is a method to this madness. Don't believe all the leaks.There will be a backlash to this just like there was to president Obama. Dark days ahead. If you think tRump is going to lay down or go away peacefully your in for a big surprise.

THAT's the major problem, right there.
Plus Bannon, of course.
