https://www.thedailybeast.com/bannon-banished-for-telling-truths-about-trump-as-maga-monsters-turn-on-each-other
Excerpts, but read the whole thing: Bannon wasnt just one of Trumps most senior aides and an architect of the destruction of the Republican Party; he was the multi-shirted, red-eyed White House troll, leaking tales of his brilliance to a constellation of reporters in the ostensibly hated mainstream media. His house organ Breitbart and a host of Trump-right websites and news outlets sang praises to his dank genius. Bannon, they proclaimed, was Trumpism in its distilled essence: revanchist, ahistorical, racially inflected, and consumed with an imaginary war on the media and Americas broader society. Now, like two rats in a bag, Trump and Bannon are tearing at one another in a delicious public spat that has every possible bit of drama, except Bannon drunkenly bellowing for a round of fisticuffs with all comers and Trump offering to compare the length of their relative manhoods on live television. They deserve one another in so many ways. ... Some in the Trump-right were pretending that this titanic rupture in Trumpworld was a devious plan to distract from his masterful handling of Iran and North Korea. Let me disabuse the Trump readers in our audience (a small subset, I know) of this fantasy. No, this isnt the president playing some form of quantum chess with rules so complex and subtle that it would take a team of physicists and string theorists decades to understand. Trump is a furious, shallow, weak man reacting in a spasm of self-indulgent fury to excerpts from a book repeating the taped, verbatim views of some of his most senior aides. Their views were consonant with what White House reporters know to be true: shock, contempt, and dismay at Trumps mental and moral vacuum, and that theyve pledged themselves to a man so spectacularly incapable of executing his duties as commander in chief they can hardly believe the unique mixture of horror and absurdity they feel toward their boss. ... It was Bannons quote that the meeting with the Russians was treasonous; that was the end for Donald. It was the admission that the No. 1 political streetfighter in the Trump White House knew the truth about the Trump teams Russia connections. Bannon was willing to say it to a reporter. On tape. In Trumps mind, that is the sin of sins. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Lmao you know it's obvious when a politician from the GOP can recognize the correlation between Trump supporters and anime. Reminds me of Trump getting pissed off at people sending him nsfw anime pics

Instead of actually retorting point he just goes "People who disagree with me do this!" That's like a 7 year old's idea of counter-arguing. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair. https://imgtc.com/i/14JHfrt.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

UncleBourbon33 posted...>dailybeast To be fair, Wilson was a never-Trumper from the start and tends to be a bit over the top and obnoxious.

Its actually not that weird, if you think about it. A large chunk of Trumps most fervent base are people who feel like theyve been dealt a short hand by society and want to take it out on anyone they can construe as a villain.
For racist hicks, its foreigners. For fundies, its Muslims. For Neo Nazis, its Jews. For the weird wolf t-shirt hentai weirdos, its feminists/women. Trump wittingly or unwittingly makes those people feel like they have a leg to stand on by how angry Trump is and his lack of strong condemnation of their behavior. Im not one of those guys that insists Trump is a secret neo Nazi or something, but they factually feel empowered by him whether he likes it or not. Trump is a rallying point of fury for people who have wanted to lash out. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
