From the BBC article:

"The White House did not announce Wednesday's presidential executive order detailing the shake-up - it only came to light in a regulatory filing.

The reshuffle also restores the director of national intelligence, CIA director and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to full participation on the NSC's inner circle, its principals committee."

He's just talking shite. Making no statements regarding policy or intentions. Just meaningless bullshit.

Oh yeah "Militarily, I don't like to say what I'm doing". Yes, because you don't know shit!

Bannon remains chief strategist and advisor

It's a smokescreen and another distraction

Lweji · 05/04/2017 18:37

I've also seen suggestions that McMaster could be behind Bannon's eviction. It seems he doesn't want a partisan/political NSC. Smile

Roussette · 05/04/2017 18:39

Live Trump conference. He's just been asked by the press "what message do you have for Syria?"

His reply - "you will see. You will have a message. You will see"

Okaaaaayyyyyy.... Confused

Roussette · 05/04/2017 18:41

Grin Grin Oh yes Across, that's his go-to excuse. I'm not going to tell you what I'm doing in case the baddies find out.

No mention of Bannon on BBCTV Six O'clock news. Which makes me slightly sad that I got tv connected yesterday. And reminded me why I preferred France24, Aljazeera and RT as news sources, though RT seems to have gone downhill in the past 8 months.

PausingFlatly · 05/04/2017 18:43

Fair enough, MrsT. I'm still happy Bannon's been removed from the NSC though.

And for more crazy from the same BBC article:
"A White House aide... said Mr Bannon was only given a seat on the NSC to keep an eye on National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who was fired in February."

So the White House says 45 thought Flynn needed an eye kept on him, but appointed him National Security Advisor. Er...

Apparently vocabulary problems run in the Trump family.

I have a theory.

IQ45 is actually a comedy character like Ali G, Dane Edna, Alan Partridge or Les Patterson. It really is the only explanation.

I haven't developed my theory but then it looks like 'absolutely no evidence' is the norm these days.

MrsT2007 · 05/04/2017 18:58

Ummm, she did her job?
Froma few sources I think she was abrasive and the IC weren't fond of her but Trump picks and chooses right and wrong differently on an hourly basis

If Trump were really affected by scenes of kids getting gassed in Syria... maybe he would let Syrian kids enter the fucking country?
