Did he or didnt he? Trump contradicts himself on whether he knew Steve Bannon [View all]
"President Donald Trump wavered in his support for White House aide and strategist Steve Bannon in an interview with The New York Post on Tuesday, following stories of a rift forming between Bannon and Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
"I like Steve, but you have to remember he was not involved in my campaign until very late," Trump said."
...
Trump announced the hiring of Bannon and adviser Kellyanne Conway as part of the Trump campaign on Aug. 17, 2016. Here’s what he said at that time:
"I have known Steve and Kellyanne both for many years. They are extremely capable, highly qualified people who love to win and know how to win," Trump said. "I believe we’re adding some of the best talents in politics, with the experience and expertise needed to defeat Hillary Clinton in November and continue to share my message and vision to Make America Great Again. I am committed to doing whatever it takes to win this election, and ultimately become President because our country cannot afford four more years of the failed Obama-Clinton policies which have endangered our financial and physical security."
So, in Trump’s own words he either "didn’t know Steve," or he has "known Steve … for many years."
One of those claims is clearly wrong."

The weasel on Trumps head whispers in his ear on these occasions.
