‘Don Jr. Is A Great American’: Leaked ‘Sloppy Steve’ Statement Shows Bannon Planned To Defend Trump
On Saturday morning, we learned that contrary to what we all thought, and contrary to what everyone who has set foot inside the White House over the past 12 months will tell you off the record, Donald Trump is "a stable genius."

Who knew?
As we noted first thing this morning, it's easy to fool people into thinking you're not in fact a "stable genius" when you blast out unhinged tweets at all hours of the day that sound like they were
Is a “Stable Genius” not unlike a “Stable Pilot.”
You know – as in the the old joke about the girl who asked her new best squeeze what he did for a living. His response was that he was a pilot.
A few weeks later the girl was going riding and saw her guy – shovel in hand – shoveling manure out of the stalls of her favorite riding stable. Being a liberated woman and saturated in media awareness in the age of “male abuse,” she confronted her deceptive paramour – forthwith demanding the truth regarding his professional status.
Our literally slick male friend, parked his shovel in the vertical position favored by most hourly manual laborers. Leaning on it and with both hands casually resting on the top of the shovel handle, he calmly replied that he was a pilot, because “I pile it here and pile it over there.” The manure – from here to over there.
A lame and bad old joke, but appropriate – at least in my mind. Trump comes closer to this kind of “Stable Genius/Stable Pilot” – because Teflon Don knows how and where to move shit in his favor – faster and arguably better than almost any President that we have ever had – excepting Slick Willy (Bill Clinton). The “Genius” part like most of Trump’s claims – he has personally and repeatedly demonstrated as being “fake news.”
When this about face by Bannon goes viral, it will be seen as prima facie evidence that Trump is indeed the unstable blowhard that he is. Trump is doomed.
