::*(5) Bannon was controlled opposition the whole time. His sole purpose was to discredit the anti-globalist movement and ensure that President Trump shifts to the left out of revulsion. -- [[User:James Kardys|James Kardys]] ([[User talk:James Kardys|talk]]) 20:10, 4 January 2018 (EST)

::::Bannon appears to have made these statements while he was still in the White House. I think this piece of info is key because it shows this is a relatively old statement -- a lot has passed since he made that comment, and he has made many pro-Trump statements since then. I think theory #1 is the best explanation of the ones you presented. It's understandable why someone would get so mad when having to deal with people like McMaster, Cohn, Javanka, and Tillerson. A true believer would be very angry to see these liberals hijack Trump's agenda. IMO, it's a repeat of 1964-66 and 1988 all over again. Bannon's comments seem to be old comments that are now coming back to haunt him.
::::Options #4 and #5 are ridiculous in my opinion. I think it's clear that this is not some ruse, and Bannon is clearly who he says he is on policy. And no, we can't blame Bannon for the whole Roy Moore thing -- besides, Moore was already the GOP nominee when the allegations came out. It's ridiculous to act as if they were known during the primaries. At worse, Bannon chose the best of two bad choices, and the establishment refused to accept the primary's outcome and relished the allegations.
::::It seems to me that the hijacking of the Trump-Bannon movement is already well underway. Just like with Goldwater and Reagan, the establishment is succeeding in ensuring that America First nationalists remain marginalized while it takes care not to distence itself from Trump himself. That strategy never fails, and we're in danger of continuing the slide toward socialism and one-world government. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 21:39, 4 January 2018 (EST)
