# Bannon's Target Isn't Trump, It's Still Kushner

Via GEFIRA,

The former Chief Strategist Steve Bannon fires up the feud against his nemesis during the White House days, Jared Kushner.

The January 3rd edition of the British newspaper Guardianopens with “explosive revelations”. Michael Wolff interviews Steve Bannon about the latter’s book “Fire and Fury: inside the Trump White House”, which calls Donald Jr’s (Trump’s first born son) meetings with the Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya “treasonous” and “unpatriotic”.

Most media stop there. Most liberals, fueled by their hatred towards Donald Trump, also stop there and take it to Twitter because that’s how far their political slacktivism can go. Then Trump replied on the wave of emotions and everything went nuclear. Since everyone seems to be too emotional not only to read through the lines, but actually to simply read the lines, we’ll offer some strategic analysis and put everything into context.

Let’s start with Bannon’s quotes: “Even if you thought that this was not treasonous, or unpatriotic, or bad shit, and I happen to think it’s all of that, you should have called the FBI immediately. (…)You realise where this is going. This is all about money laundering. Mueller chose [senior prosecutor Andrew] Weissmann first and he is a money-laundering guy. Their path to fucking Trump goes right through Paul Manafort, Don Jr and Jared Kushner … It’s as plain as a hair on your face.”

If you want to know what Bannon thinks, you either ask him or read Breitbart, which presents the same revelations with a rather different focus, ignoring Donald Jr. while highlighting Kushner’s role.

A second article on the topic targets the power couple Jared and his wife Ivanka.

Most importantly, the first article on the home page, highlighted in capital letters, is again about Jared Kushner.The article is penned by Adam Shaw, who happens to be one of Bannon’s most trusted writers, and lists essentially everything that’s wrong with Kushner, suggesting what Trump should do with him.

The opening is nothing short of an insult, underscoring how the husband of Trump’s daughter Ivanka appeared to the US troops in Iraq: under the flak jacket, Jared sported his typical rich-boy blazer and khakis, because that’s all he is about and he can’t renounce his materialistic symbols not even when on a military trip. As such, in the eyes of Bannon, Jared Kushner is nothing but a spoilt heir, who never had a real job in his life, owes everything he has to his family’s wealth and connections and is exclusively preoccupied with his own lavish lifestyle; he’s not fit to understand the problems of marines overseas, nor the middle-class American, who would be the main beneficial of Bannon’s economic nationalist platform.

The second and third paragraph present how Kushner is not a conservative at all, but a Democratic mole in the Trump administration, for his support for open borders immigration policies and LGBT causes; he’s also a fountain of bad advice, as allegedly Trump himself called him.

The fourth to sixth paragraphs are a hint of Donald Trump himself: if Mueller’s special counsel is ever going to find anything, it’ll be Kushner, therefore Trump should get rid of him as soon as possible. Kushner is involved in too many shady deals like those in real estate and very much like the Democrat mole he is, he’ll repeat the same lax behaviour Hillary had in her use of non secure servers to handle confidential emails.

The last one highlights Kushner’s alleged poor understanding of geopolitics.

In conclusion, for Breitbart and therefore Bannon, Kushner is a spoilt rich heir, with no real life skills whatsoever that could be useful to the Trump presidency, a source of bad advice, detached from the real problems afflicting middle America, focusing on frivolous issues like LGBT or his preppy shoes, a person who could be used to incriminateTrump. He’s the perfect representative of the out of touch globalist elites and their policies that Trump ran against and won. If Trump wants to achieve anything with his presidency, Kushner must go. Otherwise Kushner will destroy the Trump presidency and drag Trump down with him.

Paragraph three also has a hint for Kushner and Ivanka themselves: leave of your own will.

Fortunately for them, Trump has taken the assault on them as a declaration of war against himself. He fired back at Bannon the same way he fires back and forth with Kim-Jong-Un, had already got his lawyers involved and didn’t get the message at all. Bannon’s New Year’s first shot against Kushner backfired and ended up hitting Trump.

This is just a lucrative-for-a-few book launching and a vote-off-the-island distraction from the mass amnesty being plotted, which, if it comes to pass, will prove how ineffective voting has become in this Republic.

As usual, that serious Constitutional issue is not what is being chanted, over and over and over and over and over and over, by the Fake News Media. The MSM are helping to sell books, including their own, through whipping up another fog of salacious distraction.

They do not care that no issue was more front and center for Deplorable voters than an end to wage cutting, welfare-supported, illegal immigration. What Deplorables are getting instead is another mass amnesty.

Deplorables have already gotten an increase in child-tax-credit welfare for illegal immigrants, although illegals with traceable income that falls below the earned-income limit for monthly welfare already get a refundable EITC tax refund up to $6,444.

That refundable tax welfare is given on top of other freebies to reward legal / illegal immigrants (and many citizens) for having sex, reproducing and working part time to stay below the earned-income limit for welfare, thereby driving wages and hours down for the many US citizens living in states where per-capita income is between $18k and $20k per year.

It is really just another tax giveaway to the employers of illegal/legal immigrants who often hire in a very discriminatory manner, staffing with 98% immigrants or with others whose major household bills are covered by streams of monthly welfare / tax welfare, which enables them to accept very low wages.

https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-income-tax-cr…

https://cis.org/Child-Tax-Credits-Illegal-Immigrants

https://www.google.com/search?q=child%20tax%20crditd%20for%20illegal%20immgeabts&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

https://www.google.com/amp/amp.dailycaller.com/2017/12/04/gop-tax-reform-still-lets-illegal-immigrants-receive-child-credit-subsidy/

Most Deplorables did not get a tax cut / tax-welfare infusion in the thousands, unlike the womb-productive illegal immigrants. Most Deplorable citizens got $24 per paycheck that will not help one bit, when rent consumes more than half of their monthly pay.

Deplorables are noting how many more jobs are needed to absorb 800,000 DACAs and all of their immediate family members, bringing it up to millions of new jobs needed, not to mention the millions of Puerto Ricans pouring in here, as is their right since they are US citizens. This does not count the new jobs needed to accommodate a new influx of DACA-inspired illegal immigrants.

Illegal aliens alone, not counting the 1 million new legal immigrants that come here each year, cost taxpayers $116 billion per year, mostly in education for their children and welfare payments for sex and reproduction (free EBT food, free rent and child tax credits [EITC]).

Every year, immigrants, in general, send $46 billion out of the USA in remittances, helping to strengthen their countries, not America.

https://fairus.org/press-releases/new-fair-study-illegal-immigration-co…

https://www.google.com/amp/thehill.com/latino/303471-remittances-play-h…

All of the amnestied immigrants will get old here as well, consuming government resources all through their childbearing years and all through old age.

After they get amnesty, the vast majority of the ones who bother to vote will vote for Democrats, whereas many Deplorables will stay home, knowing now that their votes do not count.

Though it is certainly not the preferred way, Deplorables could try to get a redress of grievances from this Failing Constitutional System via the third branch of government.

https://www.google.com/search?q=breitabart%20bakery%20sued%20hiring%20o…

Some underemployed citizens already have resorted to the legal system, successfully, in cases where employers were hiring all immigrants.

Managers often hire based on racial loyalty and likely due to the fact that many immigrants can afford to work for low pay due to the elaborate pay-per-birth welfare and tax welfare system, which keeps getting piled higher by the RepubliCON Party—the party of unfair tax welfare and Illegal Aliens First.

Swamp Congress represents wealthy donors and the citizens of other countries. We thought Donald J. Trump represented American citizens, including the Deplorable citizens who put him in office

A dentist jew is a normal laboring person, and is hardly an example. Jews in Iran are forbidden from being in sensitive professions.

As long as they are held to normal jobs, they behave normally. Zionists even tried to get Iran's jews to leave for Israel, and they refused.

Your comment is snarky, but also is dissimulation. Jews are a problem, that is history's verdict. Because they are a problem, they are to be treated differently.

Unfortunately it appears there is nobody who can counsel Trump effectively. I "get" that one has to allow Trump to be Trump, or what's the point of having Trump as President. The problem is, he reacts rather than responds. He has somehow never learned how not to let his emotions dictate his words and actions. He can't "count to 10" or bounce his emotional reactions off someone he trusts to see if there's another possible perspective, or how his reactions might be interpreted.

So now everyone knows if you want to knock Trump off his game, attack his kids and their spouses, and imply that other people don't think Trump is very smart. He can't take it, he can't stop himself from reacting, and he won't keep his long-term priorities foremost in his mind.

Unfortunately, these flaws also prevent him from getting or following competent legal advice, and competent attorneys simply won't represent him as a result. He slings around loose talk of suing people and his personal attorneys bow their heads, wag their tails, and do what they are told. He doesn't have anyone who can tell him how to rise above, not to mention to take the high road.

We could argue that Trump's is the more honest approach, but these are the weaknesses his enemies are going to use to bring him down, with lots of help from him.
