Chris Buskirk, the publisher and editor of American Greatness, weighs in on the media reports that President Trump’s chief strategist Steve Bannon may be pushed out of the White House by the establishment globalist forces in the Trump administration.
Buskirk writes that “any move to fire Bannon is more dangerous to the future of the Trump Administration than anything [special counsel] Robert Mueller can do” because for Trump voters, “Bannon is their voice in a White House they see as increasingly populated by representatives of the very establishment they voted to evict.”
From American Greatness:
There has been an ongoing battle—a war really—to undermine the president and overturn the election. The campaign of character assassination waged against Bannon is one of the front’s in that war. But neither Bannon nor even Trump are the real target. The war is against the 63 million people who voted for Trump and, more importantly, his agenda. These forgotten Americans had been cowed into silence or tricked into supporting candidates who sold them out as soon as they arrived in Washington for years. But in 2016 they woke up and voted for a pro-America and pro-American agenda. They wanted a candidate who would change the way Washington works because Washington is broken. It is parochial, self-serving, corrupt, and heedless of the rights and interests of average Americans. If you’re not connected to the courtier class you’re out of luck.
The equation is simple: What’s good for the president is bad for the D.C. establishment and what’s bad for the president is good for the D.C. Establishment that wants desperately to go back to business as usual. “Vote all you want, but we’re the ones in charge.”
Steve Bannon understands that dynamic and has been a keen supporter of the president and his agenda—which is why he has been the object of sustained attack since last year.
