He might just want to see the world burn at this point. Joking aside, his statements are spot on. Trump has always been stupid, and this bombshell goes right to the heart of the matter. Trump and his cronies were absolutely idiotic to do what they did, and even more so to do it the way they did. Bannon is awful in many ways, but he is NOT stupid, and his comments are spot on, what we all thought was going to happen, and cannot be rebutted by the alt-reich anymore.
I said a long time ago that Trump will likely be impeached for a number of reasons, but he'll see jail time for money laundering.
Bannon wants to fuck over all the establishment, which includes establishment Republicans. He wants to replace them mostly with himself or people that wants what he wants. Those people are quite rare though, because you won't find them in your average Trumpkin. Trumpkins are just the cannon fodder, the pawns that he's playing to get more power. Bannon doesn't believe 99% of what Breitbart puts out, just like Nigel Farage doesn't believe the shit he retweets for one second. It's all just to get the votes of the stupid. To actually replace the establishment with anything resembling an effective government though, you need a lot more people that are actually smart and share the same ideology. The problem is most smart people don't want to overthrow society as we know it. That's why movements like Bannon's usually end up like a huge clusterfuck incapable of finding anyone qualified to take the positions of power. Its the same in European politics, you get these far right or sometimes far left movements with a populist leader that gain traction and gobble up around 15-25% of the electorate, only to implode when they're called to take any sort of responsibility.
Ex-aide Bannon has lost his mind - Trump
Trump seems pleased
I now have "go go go godzilla" stuck in my head imagining that. Thanks!
OT: I am curious what the game plan here is on bannon's part. He's still all in on the ideology of trumpism, though I suspect trump is just a means to an end for him.
Sage advice - do not trust Bannon.

Possibly. He could also be trying to position himself to get more power in the future possibly. No one had heard of bannon until Trump. If he keeps the ideology alive and Trump eventually goes down, he could easily be seen as a key figure to the alt right with no one else to look to.
That would give him and his word, a considerable amount of power.
Purely speculation of course. But I do not take what he says at face value even if it might be correct. It could be as little as him just throwing dung back at trump or he's positioning for something else entirely.
Also, since you brought him up, I'm also curious what Pence is up to. He's far more quiet and out of the spotlight compared toTrump, but he definitely has a crazy world view as well.
This Trump v. Bannon tantrum is the kind of circular firing squad I can get behind!
Wonder how much further Trump will sink once the Breitbart trolls now turn on him...
