WASHINGTON (AP) — Steve Bannon, a forceful but divisive presence in President Donald Trump's White House, is leaving. Trump accepted Bannon's resignation on Friday, ending a turbulent seven months for his chief strategist, the latest to depart from the president's administration in turmoil. White House spokesman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Friday would be Bannon's last day on the job. "We are grateful for his service and wish him the best," she said in a statement confirming reports of Bannon's departure. A combative and unorthodox Republican, Bannon was a key adviser in Trump's general election campaign, but he has been a contentious presence in a White House divided by warring staff loyalties.

  • The Nodfather: Low Stamina Sleepy Donald Caught Snoozing In Court
    Crooks and Liars, Monday - 04/15/2024 - 08:45 PM

    I remember Donald Trump saying that Hillary Clinton, who traveled 956,733 miles as Secretary of State, didn't "have the stamina" to be President. I also recall Trump calling the President "Sleepy Joe" and "corrupt." As it happens, Trump is facing 91 felony charges. He fell asleep in court, and "his eyes looked red and bloodshot when he opened them and peered at the judge." Sad! Maggie Haberman, a senior political correspondent for the New York Times, also known as the Trump Whisperer, told Jake Tapper, His jaw kept falling on his chest, and his mouth kept going slack." Defendant Trump reportedly glared at Haberman before leaving court. The internet lit up.
