An Egomaniac's Ego Shoots Bannon in the
Mouth
The rather nasty attack on Donnie and
family by former key adviser Steve Bannon has resulted in Bannon
becoming
persona non-grata in the political world of far right
conservatives.
See, Bannon like all self absorbed
people didn't realize the Trump phenomena is about Trump. No one
cares about Bannon, it was only his closeness to Trumper that made a
difference.
WASHINGTON
— Enthusiasm for Stephen K. Bannon’s plans for a fiery Republican
revolution had already been fading among some of the donors and
candidates he was relying on to upend the party’s establishment.
But
Mr. Bannon’s provocative remarks about President Trump and his
family, reported in a new book now
scheduled to be released this week,
and Mr. Trump’s angry
response,
further alienated some of Mr. Bannon’s most important backers —
including the family of the hedge fund magnate Robert Mercer —
leaving Mr. Bannon confronting the possibility of a dire fate for a
publicity-hungry provocateur: political irrelevance.
The
Mercers were blunt on Thursday in cutting the cord, reiterating
support for Mr. Trump while disavowing Mr. Bannon’s remarks and
disowning his political endeavors. “My family and I have not
communicated with Steve Bannon in many months and have provided no
financial support to his political agenda, nor do we support his
recent actions and statements,” Rebekah Mercer, Mr. Mercer’s
daughter, said in a statement. “I have a minority interest in
Breitbart News and I remain committed in my support for them.”
So goodbye, good riddance to Bannon. Hey Steve, don't slam the door on your way out.
