Beneath the Spin*Eric L. Wattree
WE PREDICTED ONE WEEK AGO TODAY THAT THE GOP WAS GOING TO SACRIFICE DONALD TRUMP, AND NOW IT BEGINS
.
.
We pointed out in the article that "If you hate Donald Trump, now’s the time to go out and get some popcorn, because he’s about to be sacrificed by the GOP. The GOP is a ruthless bunch, and now America’s going to get a ringside seat to see just how ruthless they can be with one of their own.
.
"The minute Trump signs the Republican tax cut he’ll become a liability to the GOP. He will have served his purpose, and thereafter he’ll instantly become an albatross around the GOP’s neck heading into the 2018 and 2020 elections. He’s reckless and unpredictable, he has absolutely no idea how to even pretend to be president, he’s nearly universally hated (even by Republicans), and he’s the most unpopular president in the entire history of the United States, hands down. So the Republican Party can’t afford to have him around going into the coming two elections because he’s dragging the entire party down. While his agenda is in perfect sync with their own - to cut America’s throat and drag the poor and middle-class way of life back to the days of Jim Crow and the Great Depression - he doesn’t have sense enough to keep that agenda a secret, which is an absolute must in order for the Republican Party to remain viable. He gets out and brags about it in order to appease his bigoted base.
.
"So when we hear that the Republicans are turning up the heat on Mueller in order to bring the Russia investigation to an end, that’s a farce. What they’re actually doing is stirring up enough criticism toward Mueller to give Trump a false sense of security and to make him think that he has the backup to let Trump be Trump. That will embolden him to do something stupid, like when he fired FBI Director Comey. Once he does that, or something similar, the GOP will claim that they don't “have any choice” but to "cave-in" to the resulting cries for impeachment. After all, why would Trump even consider firing Mueller or pardoning Flynn and others if he wasn’t guilty of wrongdoing? The GOP knows that, and the American people will also know it, so the GOP's hands would be tied, like in the case of Richard Nixon."

| DONALD TRUMP ANMD STEVE BANNON |
Now, in a report by CNN, "Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon called the 2016 Trump Tower meeting between Trump campaign officials and a Russian lawyer purportedly offering damaging information about Hillary Clinton "treasonous," according to a new book obtained by The Guardian." The report goes on to say that Bannon told Michael Wolff, author of the book, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump white House, "They're going to crack Don Junior like an egg on national TV." Trump fired back at his former aide saying, "When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind."
.
What makes this feud between Trump and Bannon of particular interest is Steve Bannon is the manager and executive chairman of Breitbart News, the far-right conservative publication which caters to Trump's conservative base, not to mention that as a former insider of the trump administration he presumably knows where any bodies might be buried. So as I suggested in my previous article, it's time to breakout the popcorn, because this is developing into a very dramatic moment in the Donald Trump saga.
