Deranged Steve Bannon Says Trump Has Never Lied
In a recent appearance on ABC's This Week, former Trump advisor Steve Bannon claimed that Donald Trump has never lied, except for one instance where he called Bannon "Sloppy Steve." This statement has stirred discussions about the nature of truthfulness within political discourse, especially regarding a figure as polarizing as Trump.
During his segment, Bannon suggested that his long-time observation of Trump led him to this conclusion, which is surprising given numerous documented instances of Trump's falsehoods. In fact, political analyses indicate that Trump averaged over six lies per day while in office, even exceeding fourteen lies in one day last Friday. Despite these facts, Bannon's defense of Trump can be seen as an attempt to elevate Trump to almost divine status, portraying him as infallible to his supporters—a behavior described by some as cult-like.
Critics have pointed out that Bannon's insistence on Trump’s honesty demonstrates a deeper issue within American political allegiance, where supporters refuse to acknowledge contradictions or falsehoods perpetuated by their chosen leaders. Commentators also question ABC's decision to host Bannon, arguing that it allows for publicity to figures known for disinformation, further legitimizing their claims without challenge.
Ultimately, the conversation brings forth the broader implications of such beliefs: how the framing of political figures can influence public perception and the importance of truth in leadership. In the modern political landscape, where media plays a crucial role, maintaining an informed citizenry is paramount.
What do you all think about Bannon's comments? Do you find it concerning that such claims are given airtime, or is it just part of the political entertainment landscape we navigate today? Share your thoughts below!
