I mean, he didn't even realize what he'd done in relation to putting Bannon on the NSC until he saw it in the news, then he was pissed off about it.<br />He also signed off on that Yemen raid without any real briefing about what was going to take place.<br />Now, maybe Bannon is doing stuff as a smokescreen, but I think that might also be going tooo far. I think he just wants as much chaos as possible for its own sake; that it serves as any kind of smokescreen is incidental.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10702621.post-62578444377193094482017-02-08T05:37:06.219-12:002017-02-08T05:37:06.219-12:00We were discussing one day whether the stuff that ...We were discussing one day whether the stuff that makes easy reading -- the inaugural crowds, his griping about SNL -- is being used as a smokescreen to cover the stuff they'd rather not have us discussing. I think there's some merit to that idea.Brianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616494058636881575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10702621.post-13462875150780099662017-02-08T02:28:22.764-12:002017-02-08T02:28:22.764-12:00He also did away with the fiduciary rule in his qu...He also did away with the fiduciary rule in his quest to destroy Dodd-Frank.<br />And got rid of some gun control rule that kept some people from being able to buy guns.<br />And there are other things, but I don't have time to try to remember all of them, right now.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.com
