it's a spectacular fall out between the two former allies bannan was the one who helped carve out trump's nationalist agenda that helped him win the oval office despite the furor over his quotes bannon called the president a great man on his right to go ashore. in the present state is a great man you know i supporting day in and day out. the patrol has enraged. anywhere he had steve van gurley call me a great man last night so you know you obviously changes to pretty quick thank you all very much i. thank you i don't talk i don't go. to. the white house is trying to cast doubt on the books accuracy again this book is mistake after mistake after mistake as for the bombshell book the publishers have brought forward its release to friday despite cease and desist threats from donald trump's lawyers. and staying in the us where the east coast is in the grip of a deep freeze on us after a massive winter storm brought fresh snow hurricane force winds and flooding to several regions elsewhere it was a rare opportunity to see snow and ice in locations normally known for their sunshine. sunny getaw

administration ok now a new element here and somebody really outside the narrative completely is trump and bannan in a political my fight right now are we going to see a civil war and a split inside the make america great again movement i don't think it's going be a full on civil war i think steve bannon automatically loses the president is the person in power he's in charge of the republican party we've seen the republican establishment line up behind president trump with the recent tax reform bill steve bannon is the guy that's on the outs i don't know that's going to be a full on civil war i think bannon is just going to be the big loser in all of this ok now what about the democrats is this a late christmas gift for the democrats and their chances in the midterm elections . yeah i think that the twenty eight thousand in the mid-term elections the democrats if they get their act together have a strong chance of both taking back the senate and the house of representatives putting a real big crimp into donald trump's plans for his presidency this is something that they're going to add in to thei
