Bannon and crew are such morons. Marshall McLuhan's quote is: "The medium is the message." And "media is the massage?" Who exactly is getting the massage?
The glee with which Bannon delights in this chaos, confusion, destruction, lawlessness. Trump, Musk, Bannon et al don’t care about the people they’re running over.
I have a Grand Theory Of Movie Presidents: they always have to be kind of like people think of the current office holder, or maybe the last one. It’ll be a while until we see movies where the President was Jed Bartlet. No one can see the President as a Nobel laureate these days.
So Bannon is admitting what many have suspected about Donny’s psyche and knowledge base. That is that the only reality to trump is the content on his TV and the people he sees on it. That’s very comforting and reassuring, isn’t it.
I don't watch TV - haven't for years - so I didn't realize all the people that I am seeing around Trump are from the entertainment industry. I did notice how, um, glossy his new appointees appeared, especially compared to our Canadian politicians. And, their credentials were quite...abstract?

I don’t look to Washington for entertainment. I want them to work for us!
I often wonder if these co-presidents would be anywhere near the levers of power if they didn't have those hair grafts to disguise their baldness.
We need to unplug their mics.
