This break up with Steve roots back to the early days of the admin. Bannon thought he was running the White House for Trump. When overruled Steve lashed out, started leaking & attacking Jared & McMaster. Trump knew he had a problem but had to be careful how he destroyed Bannon.
Steve Bannon actually believed he uniquely represented the #MAGA policy agenda. I tried telling people like @stranahan that #MAGA was a Trump creation. That Jared helped drive Trump to victory and was as much #MAGA as anyone. But these people are ideologues, purists.
At the time the nationalist purist wing was strong. Trump had to be careful but time passed & @realDonaldTrump proved himself so there’s less fear & anxiety that Trump is just another globalist puppet. People have watched Trump drive the agenda without Steve. Then AL happened...
AL was about more then just the loss. Once again Bannon took a shot at Trump’s Team. Everyone knew when Steve said Trump got bad advice on Moore he was referring to Jared. So the loss encapsulated everything wrong with Steve. A vindictive egomaniac that specializes in losing.
Alabama would be the last time Steve would lead Trump into a loser’s trap. People like @dmartosko think this is PR malpractice. Nope. Trump is using the publicity around #FireAndFury to utterly destroy Bannon on a grand scale. That’s what matters. Bannon is dead. Politically.
So today @realDonaldTrump sits with @GOP leadership at Camp David. They have many obstacles to overcome in 2018 but one has been removed from the playing field, Steve Bannon and his meddling in the 2018 Senate GOP Primaries. @dmartosko it’s called unconventional warfare.
P.S. I think Steve’s betrayal hurt. Not saying it shocked Trump who has been around and seen it all. But I think it stung. More than @Reince betrayal who was always a rat. Steve came on like he was noble. He wasn’t. As @Scaramucci said he was just sucking his own...
