The Trump presidency Steve Bannon fought for is over, and the people to blame are “West Wing Democrats” and the Republican establishment.
That’s what Bannon told The Weekly Standard in a Friday interview immediately following his ouster as White House chief strategist.
“The Trump presidency that we fought for, and won, is over, ” Bannon said. “We still have a huge movement, and we will make something of this Trump presidency. But that presidency is over. It’ ll be something else. And there’ ll be all kinds of fights, and there’ ll be good days and bad days, but that presidency is over.”
Bannon has now re-joined Breitbart News, the pro-Trump website he ran before joining Donald Trump’s campaign in August 2016. Bannon appears disillusioned with the potential for Trump’s presidency, if his interview with TWS is any indication.
“The Republican establishment has no interest in Trump’s success on this. They’ re not populists, they’ re not nationalists, they had no interest in his program, ” Bannon said. “Zero. It was a half-hearted attempt at Obamacare reform, it was no interest really on the infrastructure, they’ ll do a very standard Republican version of taxes.”
