On Wednesday morning, we read some juicy excerpts from
Michael Wolff's new book, "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White
House" featuring former White House Chief Strategist Stephen Bannon.
Bannon, now back at Breitbart News, sounded off on the infamous meeting between
Donald Trump, Jr. and Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya at Trump Tower in
July 2016.
Trump Jr.'s meeting with the Russian lawyer at Trump
Tower was "treasonous"and "unpatriotic," Bannon told Wolff,
before speaking his mind about Trump's supposedly foolish decision to fire FBI
Director James Comey.
President Trump is hitting back at his old associate,
telling him in no uncertain terms to butt out of his affairs.
"He's only in it for himself," Trump said in an
official statement, adding that Bannon has "lost his mind."
While Bannon appeared close to Trump both during the
campaign and in the early stages of his White House employment, he has been
speaking out against multiple Trump family members since his departure. Last
month, while campaigning for Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, he mocked
Ivanka Trump for refusing to support him.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was
just as incensed by Bannon's comments.
"This book is filled with false and misleading
accounts from individuals who have no access or influence with the White
House," she told the press. "Participating in a book that can only be
described as trashy tabloid fiction exposes their sad desperate attempts at
relevancy."
For what it's worth, former White House communications
director Anthony Scaramucci (10 days), weighed in on the feud, siding with
President Trump. He pointed readers to his infamous, expletive-laced interview
with The New Yorker over the summer, in which he shared his unflattering
opinion of Bannon.

I said what I said in the Summer take out the expletives and pay closer attention. Btw, @realDonaldTrump is doing a great job.
