> [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > Agreed with all of this. Trump is currently being run by Bannon, whose \*\*explicitly stated goal \*\*is the destruction of the county in it’s current form, and a re-making of it as a right wing fascist dictatorship. About that Bannon guy… Now Trump the fucking incompetent and sniveling coward is claiming he was duped by Bannon on at least one occasion. New York Times : Mr. Priebus bristles at the perception that he occupies a diminished perch in the West Wing pecking order compared with previous chiefs. But for the moment, Mr. Bannon remains the president’s dominant adviser, despite **Mr. Trump’s anger that he was not fully briefed on details of the executive order he signed giving his chief strategist a seat on the National Security Council, a greater source of frustration to the president than the fallout from the travel ban.** Trump signed an executive order removing the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the National Intelligence Director from the principals committee of the National Security Staff and added Steve Bannon, the former editor of Brietbart, in **an executive order he never even read.** John Dean: _Only a very weak POTUS allows an aide to secretly self promote and go where no political aide has ever been: Bannon’s permanent NSC seat._ Again, _Trump is complaining that President Bannon sold him a bill of goods… ._“Presi\*ent Donald Trump complained that he was not fully briefed before signing an executive order that gave chief political strategist Stephen Bannon a seat on the National Security Council, the New York Times reports. The executive order, which gave Bannon an unprecedented security role for a non-military advisor, was reportedly one of a series of orders crafted by Bannon and policy director Stephen Miller. Trump reportedly signed the order without fully understanding the power it would grant Bannon, and grew angry when he later learned the order’s full significance.” \* The tough guy who admires strength (as long as strength agrees with him) is a weak sniveling coward. He can’t even take responsibility for NOT READING whatever the HEAD NAZI IN CHARGE shoves under his nose. ---

> [@E-DUB](#): > > I just wondered if trump’s continued SNL bashing is motivated by a desire to boost the ratings of the show among his numerous detractors because it’s part of a deal he’s made with NBC, which also broadcasts the Apprentice. Maybe he owns stock in NBC. Who knows? That other criminal and fraud Gingrich got a pass for slamming CNN, even though he is on the Fox payroll. ---

So, has Trump become immune to SNL? I’m shocked that he didn’t tweet about the last show. Of course, he was distracted by the so-called judge, so maybe that is what happened there. ---

Of course, he was distracted by the so-called judge, so maybe that is what happened there. He never watches SNL. Never. Terrible show. Bad ratings. And he really hated last weeks show. That he didn’t watch. But it was bad. That part that he didn’t watch especially. ---

I think I’ll refer to Trump as “this so-called president” for the duration (may it be mercifully short.) I wish I’d thought of it, but I’m taking it. So Bannon basically pulled a coup d’etat, and Trump is too stupid and weak to do anything about it ---
