Josh Green: What Bannon did by talking to Wolff for this book and by extension, probably, talking to me for my book is pour a can of gasoline over his head and light a match. Trump appears to have broken with him in a way that seems final and ultimate, even tagging him with a dreaded nickname, Sloppy Steve, which I think we can all admit is pretty fantastic.
Bannon has been in the doghouse before and come back. I hear that he thinks he can come back from this, too. Well see; nothings ever quite impossible in Trumps world. You can never say never.
As Bannon has told people in the past, Trump is entirely transactional. But if he loses his platform at Breitbart News, then its hard for me to see how hell be able to wield the kind of influence that I describe in Devils Bargain, and that he seemed to have regained after leaving the White House last year.

(48,996 posts)he thinks he is), and I don't believe he'd be playing so obvious a role in undermining Trump unless he thought Trump's presidency would be over soon. He may have been cooperating with Mueller for months already.
Of course if Trump and his GOP enablers succeed in turning the US into a banana republic, Bannon's finished...unless he can flatter his way back into Trump's good graces. Trump's dumb enough to fall for it, but Jared and Ivanka would fight like hell to stop that.
