Trump slams Bannon after criticism, says ex-chief strategist ‘lost his mind.’ It’s popcorn time! In the book, ‘Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,’ Steve Bannon claims the meeting between a Russian lawyer and Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort was “treasonous” and “unpatriotic.” Trump’s response is below.
“Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me or my presidency,” Trump wrote. “When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind. Steve was a staffer who worked for me after I had already won the nomination by defeating seventeen candidates, often described as the most talented field ever assembled in the Republican party.”
