That is the pumpkina** MO. He done done with all his close peeps who were corrupt caught charged tried convicted. Latest one? Steve Bannon. When push comes to shove and you need a friend don't count on pumpkin** to help. He'd just as soon let you drown or even help push you down. What are friends for? Ask the pumpkina**. He is such a good one.
Clearly, Trump has distanced himself from Bannon. Probably claims Bannon only got him coffee. Bannon always looks like he needs a shower, a haircut and a shave. I've seen bums on the Bowery who look cleaner than Bannon.
