There could be some fun in our near future. I’m not being sarcastic, we may be in for some light amusement soon. The one bright spot in Trump pestering us like a plague for almost 80 days now is that he’s a creature of habit. If you’re watching this Klown Kar Circus all of the time, like I do, by now you should be starting to get a kind of a rhythm for these jokers, and here’s one example I’ve found.
We all know that Trump has a certain set of pat phrases he tends to use when situations with similar circumstances to previous situations come up. Anything negative to him is “fake news”. Bad economic news, or something that predates January 20th flares up, “It’s Obama’s fault”. That kind of thing.
But already, after less than 80 days, it has become clear that Trump already has his Avada Kedavra, “the killing curse” from Harry Potter. The words that no Trump administration employee ever wants to hear, “He/she has the President’s full confidence”. Let’s look back at the fortunes of the past recipients of this Presidential blessing, shall we?
Back during the campaign, Corey Lewandowski had Trump’s “full confidence”, until Jared and Ivanka made their lack of confidence abundantly clear to Daddy. Paul Manafort had Trump’s “full confidence” until he became too covered with Ukrainian oligarch pocket lint. KT McFarland had Trump’s “full confidence” when she was criticized on the NCS, and now she’s being crated off to Singapore, like it or not. Michael Flynn had Trump’s “full confidence” until his sins became too obvious. Jeff Sessions had The Man’s “full confidence”, and ended up having to recuse himself from the most important investigation for his boss that there is.
And now, it looks like it may be Steve Bannon’s turn in the tumbler. Following Bannon’s humiliating ouster from a principal’s seat on the NSC, the White House tried to boost his sagging feelings by announcing that he has “the President’s full confidence”. Bannon’s been around for a while, and he’s no dummy. You almost get the feeling that he might be looking for a cardboard box on his desk when he gets back up to Washington.
Why do I get the feeling that right now Sean Spicer is doing everything in his power to try to ensure that he never has Trump’s “full confidence”? But then again, the way things are going for Spicer right now, maybe he’s doing everything in his power to get it instead.

God, I’d rather be lucky than good! I was just news trolling for topics, and this gem fell into my lap. Politico is REPORTING that Republican US Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen is publicly calling for Bannon to be completely ousted from the White House for his “un-American views”...If Trump wants to mend fences with the GOP House, could listening to their advice on this simple topic be a start?
