I think I’m going to be sick. It’s worse than I thought.
Steve Bannon is running the country.
Trump is not smart enough, energetic enough, willing to work hard enough to come up with any sort of actual strategy. Bannon is all of the above.
Trump will continue to provide us with the worst of himself. Taking any opportunity for self-aggrandizement, taking every opportunity to attack those who disagree with him. Flying, I predict, into a narcissistic rage at some point. Never giving the slightest fuck about our country, only caring about the glory that is himself. All of this will cause massive damage to our country.
But Bannon will be in charge of long-term strategy. He will steer this country toward fascism. On purpose. Trump will be his puppet, oh-so-easily manipulated by the vastly more intelligent and aware Steve Bannon. Right now, Bannon is simultaneously stroking trump’s ego and giving him “suggestions.” Trump is putty in his hands.
