Bannon is the enemy - he deserves to be thrown under the bus. Like Trump said - Bannon has lost his mind. I never liked the guy in the first place so I was glad when he departed the White House.

And what is the difference in lying? The biggest lie was from Clinton - you know the one- I did not have sex with that woman. That was a whopper.

The lies from Trump began on inauguration day when he claimed that attendance at his inauguration was much greater than the attendance at Obama's inauguration. And the lies have continues almost non-stop.

In my opinion, this is a large reason why Trump has such a low approval rating. Lying. Ridiculous tweets. Throwing people under the bus (Bannon being the latest). Disparaging comments on other world leaders. If Trump would just focus on performing his duties as POTUS and shut his mouth on extraneous issues, I believe his approval rating would be quite a bit higher.

Trump named Bannon chief strategist, a very powerful position in the White House. Bannon was Trump's campaign CEO . Here is what Trump said about Bannon at the time:

“I am thrilled to have my very successful team continue with me in leading our country,” Trump said in a statement. “Steve and Reince are highly qualified leaders who worked well together on our campaign and led us to a historic victory. Now I will have them both with me in the White House as we work to make America great again.”

Well, they turned out to be not so great so Trump got rid of them. I don't see your point here.

Anyone with a 401k is in the market. I know you don't recognize it, but it's called... Winning!

Loser.

That’s why he got rid of them? Really? Because I remember Trump defending Bannon as a good person after getting rid of him. And he lost his mind, but Trump was taking his advice over his people in the White House just a few weeks ago. Trump let him attack Ivanka last week, let him attack Jared while in the White House. Trump was afraid that Bannon had a better grasp of his base than him. When Roy Moore lost I’m sure Trump saw that as a sign maybe Bannon didn’t. Let’s see what happens, but don’t pretend that Trump pushes Bannon out and stop dealing with him.

Bannon should feel used. Because he was.

The point is that Trump threw Bannon under the bus, as he has done with several others who were either in his cabinet or in trusted positions such as Bannon. They are great one day and terrible the next. When Bannon was appointed I knew it was a mistake. Why didn't Trump?

Then Trump lies and says Bannon had nothing to do with him being elected. Total BS.

A person with a 401k was counted in the less than 50% investing in the stock market. You continually show ignorance beyond belief.

As I said -- let's wait until November to see what the people of this country think of Trump's "winning".

Austin Ellen · 01-05-2018, 10:15 AM

OK, I guess in my business life I've seen CEO's pat someone on the back one day and kick them out the next day so this is not surprising to me. You either contribute and produce what the CEO wants or bye bye birdie. Anyway, I'm glad Bannon is out. I thought it was a mistake too but -like in business- you sometimes have to make concessions you do not want in order to get what you do want - everybody does it.
And I'm sure this is not the first President who kicked people out of his cabinet. And now Bannon is an disgruntled ex employee and he's gonna make up stuff on Trump and sell it to the sheep. And the sheep will believe it. And so another distraction takes place instead of letting Trump get down to the business of running the country. And so it goes...on and on and on.

So. anything in the negative light on Trump is made up? Seems to me you are the sheep.

Aroundagain · 01-05-2018, 10:36 AM

Here we go again with this Clinton crap, he is not in office anymore and she never made it, stop deflecting!

Well... Don't rule out the concept that the public feud could be more of a distraction from other news, such as Clinton investigations etc.

Hence, what a good Chief Executive does is to weigh how many good days versus bad days and take decisive action if the bad outweighs the good. Working as designed, I would say.

That's exactly what a good CEO does.
