After threatening nuclear war again, Trump says it’s Steve Bannon who’s “lost his mind”
We’ve unfurled ourselves from the fetal position we’ve been in since Trump revived his threats of nuclear war on Twitter yesterday to bring you the news that the belligerent old kumquat has released an official statement in which he claims it’s actually Steve Bannon who’s lost his damn mind.
You’ll want to briefly halt construction on your bunker to read the statement, which was issued by press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, in response to a new book from veteran journalist Michael Wolff, which includes some biting criticism of Trump’s campaign and family from former chief strategist and amateur dicksucker Steve Bannon. Here’s the full statement via Deadline, which you are welcome to print out (assuming you haven’t gone completely off the grid yet) and edit for inaccuracies, like Trump’s claim that Bannon, who many analysts credit with strengthening the bloviating moron’s bid for the presidency with a little help from his white supremacist friends and readers, had nothing to do with his victory.
Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me or my Presidency. When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind. Steve was a staffer who worked for me after I had already won the nomination by defeating seventeen candidates, often described as the most talented field ever assembled in the Republican party.
Now that he is on his own, Steve is learning that winning isn’t as easy as I make it look. Steve had very little to do with our historic victory, which was delivered by the forgotten men and women of this country. Yet Steve had everything to do with the loss of a Senate seat in Alabama held for more than thirty years by Republicans. Steve doesn’t represent my base—he’s only in it for himself.
