Bannon's real problem -- he threatens Trump family corruption

In a long article from the Washington Post there are these frankly shocking paragraphs. They explain that all Ivanka and co care about is making money. Since Bannon is turning off potential customers, they want him out.

Trump’s three oldest children — Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric — and Kushner have been frustrated by the impression of chaos inside the White House and feel that their father has not always been served well by his senior staff, according to people with knowledge of their sentiments. The Trump heirs are interested in any changes that might help resuscitate the presidency and preserve the family’s name at a time when they are trying to expand the Trump Organization’s portfolio of hotels.

“The fundamental assessment is that if they want to win the White House in 2020, they’re not going to do it the way they did in 2016, because the family brand would not sustain the collateral damage,” said one well-connected Republican operative, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the president’s family. “It would be so protectionist, nationalist and backward-looking that they'd only be able to build in Oklahoma City or the Ozarks.”

Trump is easily manipulated and has never had an original thought his entire life. Appeals to conscience will not work Trump has no conscience. He is bothered by what he perceives as rejection seemingly not by contradictions in what he says or does. If Trump the hollow man was in close physical proximity to Hillary, or Obama saw an opportunity for financial gain he would become a Democrat.

If we can just get one propaganda organization lined up against Trump he is finished. Fox news, Limbaugh, Breitbart, IJR/Newsmax/etc are all backing him to the hilt.

There is so much dirt and 40% of Americans don't know because they believe Fox news.


Please, Donald, alienate Bannon.
