Stupid AF: "Theresa May has revealed that Donald Trump advised her to “sue the European Union” rather than negotiate with the 27-country bloc, in a private conversation that the US president referred to during his visit to the UK on Friday."
As with Tolstoy’s Prince Vasili, the president “like a wound-up clock, by force of habit said things he did not even wish to be believed.” But unlike Richard M. Nixon and Bill Clinton — our previous standard-bearers in presidential prevarication — Trump’s lies are not a defensive response to protect a political legacy. Trump’s lies are his legacy.
Discussing Robinson on Mr Farage’s phone-in show, Mr Bannon said: “I don’t think he’s a bad guy. I think he’s a solid guy and I think he’s got to be released from prison.”
LBC’s political editor, Theo Underwood, interjected to point out Robinson “broke the law”.
“A lot of people would say that that law is too restrictive,” Mr Bannon replied, suggesting the details of Robinson’s crime were “highly technical”. He asked Mr Underwood: “Are you a news guy? You’ve got to go a lot better.”
The journalist replied: “I’m calling you out on something.”
Mr Farage then ended the row, saying: “I take the view as well that Tommy broke the law.”
Following the programme, Mr Underwood tweeted that Mr Bannon had raged at him as soon as they were off-air.
He said the former Breitbart chairman told him: “F*** you. Don’t you f****** say you’re calling me out. You f****** liberal elite. Tommy Robinson is the backbone of this country.”
