President Trump reportedly suspects that his chief strategist Stephen Bannon is behind some White House leaks about fellow staffers, according to a new report by Axios.
Sources told Axios that West Wing staff believe Bannon was behind leaks about national security adviser H.R. McMaster and that Bannon's job could be in danger.
According to the report, Trump has been "irritated" with Bannon following a series of Breitbart reports targeting McMaster. Bannon was formerly the executive chairman of Breitbart.
There is no clear connection, however, linking Bannon to such reports.
Trump has long decried leaks of sensitive information to media, such as specifics of his Oval Office conversations with world leaders earlier this year, as well as details surrounding the palace intrigue around the White House.
Come on, we know Bannon's the leaker.
After all if somebody else was leaking to Breibart Bannon would have forced them to give him the name and he would have outed that person a long time ago.
Bad timing if you think about it.
I mean just imagine how much fun Trump and Bannon could have had bonding over the video of that alt-right dude plowing through a crowd of liberal snowflakes.
But nope, Bannon thought it was more important to repeatedly stab McMaster in the back than to celebrate a murderous rampage by an alt-right racist. (Which you know they totally would have if the circumstances were different.)
Okay so if Bannon goes how many would that make?
Lewandowski, Flynn, Manafort, Priebus, and now if Bannon goes that is almost all of Trump's original team members kicked to the curb.
All that will remain from the original group will be family members and Jeff Sessions. And face it, Sessions is living on borrowed time.
I now picture Donald Trump wandering through the White House alone at night becoming increasingly isolated and increasingly suspicious of everybody who tries to get close to him.
