Is it safe to assume that the Trump presidency is now in its final stages? I would imagine that the one person who knows where ALL the skeletons are buried is Steve Bannon.

Curious to see the Breitbart write-up. :lol:

Does anybody really believe that the President's Chief Strategist rarely met with him one on one?

He's full of shit. There's been reports that he still talks to Bannon regularly on the phone.

Besides, if you've followed Trump's last two years, you'll know there are two people he's gone out of his way not to criticize: Putin and Bannon.

this article is WILD

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/20 ... trump.html
From the start, the leitmotif for Trump about his own campaign was how crappy it was, and how everybody involved in it was a loser. In August, when he was trailing Hillary Clinton by more than 12 points, he couldn’t conjure even a far-fetched scenario for achieving an electoral victory. He was baffled when the right-wing billionaire Robert Mercer, a Ted Cruz backer whom Trump barely knew, offered Trump’s campaign an infusion of $5 million. Trump didn’t turn down the help—he just expressed vast incomprehension about why anyone would want to do that. “This thing,” he told Mercer, “is so fucked up.”

i mean there's so much great shit in here

Michael Flynn, the retired general who served as Trump’s opening act at campaign rallies, had been told by his friends that it had not been a good idea to take $45,000 from the Russians for a speech. “Well, it would only be a problem if we won,” ­Flynn assured them.

And it's probably all made up. From previous coverage of Wolff:

I did read it. Trump asking who John Boehner is seems somewhat farfetched. Other parts seem to ring true. Just sharing what people have said previously about Wolff's reporting.

So basically, the wolff garbage is there to distract us from the bannon/trump feud, or vice versa?

Kinda think the appropriate response to all of this is to ignore it.

Thanks. I tripped over that a few minutes ago, and that is a link for a crazy ride according to the first few paragraphs I skimmed. TL/DR @ work.

Yeah. It obviously gets slippery once you get into, "________ is reported to have said to a friend" territory. But I think the central thesis and most of the main plot points are 100% true

Gabriel Sherman @gabrielsherman
Bannon ally says Bannon plans to "keep his mouth shut and let the book speak for itself. They're clearly acting all unhinged."

John Boehner is categorically a guy who could do absolutely nothing for DJT, so that part seems alright.
