RogerJStoneJr . @elonmusk certainly turned out to be right about Steve Bannon.-----Brian Cates - @drawandstrike Bannon ended up getting tossed ass-first out of the Trump White House back in mid-2017 because he wouldn't stop leaking fake stories to the press about how Jared and Ivanka were stabbing the old man in the back.

Trump told him to cut that shit out and Bannon wouldn't do it.

It always grated Bannon's ass how Jared was Trump's real key advisor and not HIM.

So I watched Bannon all through 2018-2020, including his 'We Build The Wall' fraud shenanigans, where he got caught literally defrauding the donors.

Bannon and the others running the scam swore every dime of the donated money would go to finish the wall...and then paid themselves six figure salaries.

Bannon got himself a deal while the others went to jail.

I was also a freelance unpaid contributor to the Breitbart website for much of 2013, right after Andrew passed, when Bannon was taking it over.

I'll say this: much of the public version of how Bannon ended up being the new boss there is bullshit.

He wasn't 'called in' after a search and handed the reins. He showed up and announced he was the new owner and CEO. Said not to worry, he would run the place just like Andrew would.

Then he started changing everything, and ended up driving most of the talent away, including Dana Loesch.

That time when he was in the wilderness from 2017-2019, publicly cursing Trump and the Trump family and going around saying what he really thought of them was a very interesting time. This includes the Alabama Senate race, where he inserted himself and stumped for Judge Roy Moore rather than Trump's candidate.

Of course, he's successfully rebranded himself over the last 5 years as being 'More MAGA than MAGA!' and Trump plays along with it for his own reasons. https://x.com/drawandstrike/status/2020717111866175501?s=20
