Steve Bannon Told Trump: 'Go To The Mattresses' & Bodies Falling At WH Just Like Mafia Movie
The Trump White House is flailing like a beached whale right now as Kremlin Gate looms like a tsunami in the distance. They can hear it roaring and it's only a question of time before it arrives, smashing them down, engulfing them and splintering their soon to be lost dreams of glory. And who is the only man who can stop it, or so he tells them? Steve Bannon. Steve Bannon has advised Donald Trump that his only hope is to "go to the mattresses," under Bannon's direction if he wants to save his presidency. This from the Washington Post:
-Although much remained fluid Saturday, the beefed-up operation could include the return of some of Trump’s more combative campaign aides, including Corey Lewandowski, who was fired as campaign manager nearly a year ago, and David N. Bossie, who was deputy campaign manager and made his name in politics by investigating Bill and Hillary Clinton for two decades. Both men have been part of ongoing discussions about how to build a war room that have been led in part by chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon.-
It should be interjected at this point that Steve Bannon took the position of campaign manager to Trump on the condition that Trump place him at the top and give him free reign. Bannon at that point was thinking as a salesman, utilizing his Goldman Sachs training and speaking in terms of "points" i.e. votes, and "closing." He told the Hollywood Reporter in an interview, "I knew she couldn't close. I knew we would win." After that there was a change. The Sun Tzu books came out and the nomenclature became warlike. Steve Bannon chistened his office the “War Room.” Bannon is now adding a touch of Hollywood metaphor as well, as he describes last ditch efforts to save the Trump Crime Family from itself. The Post:
-“Go to the mattresses,” a line from the film “The Godfather” about turning to tough mercenaries during troubled times, has circulated among Trump’s friends, said two people close to the war room discussions.
“The bottom line is they need fresh legs; they need more legs,” said Barry Bennett, who served as a political adviser to Trump during the general-election campaign. “They’re in full-scale war, and they’re thinly staffed.”
As Trump has participated in meetings with world leaders in recent days, senior aides — including Bannon, Kushner and Chief of Staff Reince Priebus — have met in the White House to discuss a potential reshuffle.-
