STEVE BANNON/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me or my Presidency. When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind. Steve was a staffer who worked for me after I had already won the nomination by defeating seventeen candidates, often described as the most talented field ever assembled in the Republican party.
Now that he is on his own, Steve is learning that winning isn’t as easy as I make it look.”
-Donald Trump as quoted by Tucker Higgins, “Read President Donald Trump’s full statement on Steve Bannon — ‘he lost his mind’,” cnbc.com, Jan. 3, 2018
