Trump slams Bannon: ‘When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind’

[Hereiam]

The wheels on the train are falling off, and following the midterms in November, to use another train metaphor, we will finally see light at the end of the tunnel.

He’s a narcissistic sociopath, and those afflicted with such disorders are unlikely to change if they haven’t by the time he has reached his age.

Based on your posts, I think you’re a “narcissistic sociopath”, but since I’ve never actually met you and have no background in psychiatry, my opinion on the matter is pretty worthless, much like yours on Trump in particular and psychiatric disorders in general.

Is this the point at which Nikolai Yezhov suddenly disappears from the picture?

Wait, didn’t you guys like Stalin?

Nice pivot…when the heat is on shift the conversation to Obama…when that fails, Clinton…and now Stalin?

LOL…Attila the Hun and Darth Vader are probably next!

And what “guys” am I, do you imagine?

But you have to admit that as soon as one of the former inner circle either gets indicted or in the case of Bannon, appears to attack the President, suddenly it’s “Paul Who? Michael Who? Steve Who?”

Bannon was sufficiently close to Trump that Trump took him into the White House, pretty much let him draft an Executive Order or two, and, much to the dismay of the generals, put him on the National Security Council. And clearly even after Bannon’s exit, he remained close enough to the President to be able to call him up and ask Trump to do a bit of stumping for the man he wanted to win the Alabama special election for Jeff Session’s vacated seat.

But yeah, Steve Who?

Well, actually, in this particular case he got the reference, even if he tried to turn it back on me (I guess inferring that I’m a big fan of Communist tyrants). I was referring to the downfall of Nikolai Yezhov, former head of the NKVD who, when during the purges of the 1930s, he was executed, Soviet censors doctored a photograph of him walking along side Stalin and other Soviet officials, cut him right out of the picture.

My reference was meant to demonstrate how those in Trump’s inner circle who run afoul of him, suddenly have their histories rewritten so that they become much smaller players in his rise. Not quite the level of a Soviet purge, but definitely there seems to be a need among Trump’s supporters to diminish the roles of the inner circle that get indicted or call him out.

Do not let your heart be troubled…your “opinion”, like mine, is not worthless…but, to quote the White House Press Secretary, “Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But, nobody is entitled to their own facts,” …and who are you or I to argue with Sarah?

Dream on…

Correct. Except I never raised that issue…uncfen is trying to conveniently lump all those he doesn’t agree with into one basket…which is very Trumpesque.

You didn’t get niceatheist’s reference to Yezhov. It’s a Stalin reference, but it is a little obscure. Stalin tended to have people who fell out of favor, like Yezhov, airbrushed out of official photos. Nothing to do with Clinton or Obama. That was you being overly sensitive.

yes, denial is not just a river in egypt…LOL

 

[Jeanne_S]

I couldn’t agree more.Please share that with all the whiners re Tumps win over HC.Talk about denial,Scheesh!

jeanne…news flash…HC became irrelevant 14 months ago…obama nearly a year ago…its now all about Donnie…so you really need to defend him (if you can) on his merits rather than comparing him to those who never were, or are no longer, in power.

It’s a daunting task, I know.

News Flash,the petulant left who from day one after the election ,cannot seem to let go of the HC loss are the ones that need to refocus.I certainly don’t give a rats patooty about HC.Yet the relentless and pathetic attempts from the left ,media et all to bring Trump down are what is getting really tiresome.Sadly they will keep trying but to no avail.

The first person to bring up Clinton on this thread was you

 

[Jeanne_S]

Only insomuch as mentioning her was relevant to the comment of which I was responding.

It looks more to me like you’re trying to change the topic of discussion from the thread. I see nothing in the previous responses that necessitated you bringing up Clinton. If you would like to start a topic about Hillary Clinton, well then by all means do so. But this thread is dedicated to Trump’s attack on Bannon (and by extension, what Bannon is said to have said about Trump and other members of the President’s inner circle).

This newest episode in the Trump saga brings to my mind the old proverb:
‘When thieves fall out, honest men come by their own” - meaning if thieves are squabbling among themselves, they are too busy to rob honest men. The phrase ‘come by their own’ means ‘keep what belongs to them’.

 

[niceatheist]

It feels more like the ancient symbol of a snake eating its own tail.

 

[HCTC]

don’t know how close they actually were. I can’t find any evidence that they were BFFs before the Presidential campaign. They probably ran in the same circles when Bannon was with Goldman Sachs, and Trump was doing “The Apprentice”, but I can’t find out much beyond that. They don’t seem like they were as close as Karl Rove and George W. Bush, for example. Maybe they were, but evidence is lacking. Bannon was forced out for some reason, so Trump clearly didn’t value his opinions as much as he did some of his other advisors.

I don’t know about BFF (which is hardly relevant). However, shortly after taking office Trump put Bannon on the NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL which would indicate that he was a trusted advisor.

January 29, 2017:

“President Trump has reorganized the National Security Council by elevating his chief strategist, Steve Bannon, and demoting the director of National Intelligence and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

“Bannon will join the NSC’s principals committee, the top interagency group for discussing national security. The National Security Council is the staff inside the White House that coordinates decision-making by the president on such matters, in coordination with outside departments including the State Department and the Pentagon.”

Harium talked about the trump supports being in denial.So mentioning the hysteria by the left ,surrounding DT victory which continues over a year later,it was in fact a pertinent point to mention.
