Steve Bannon "strategy": Trump to run for Congress in 2022 and, as Speaker, impeach Biden [View all]

The man, and his audience of Boston Republicans, are delusional. They are ignoring that Trump is a lazy fucker who would never have enough energy, skill or inclination to organize Republicans in the House, let alone get an impeachment going. I suspect Bannon said this to get on Trump's good side and as a way of grifting more money from someone:

During his talk to the West Roxbury Ward 20 Republican Committee on Saturday, the same day Trump was acquitted by the Senate in his impeachment trial, Bannon even floated the idea of Trump becoming speaker of the House in 2022 and impeaching President Biden.

“Trump is a disruptor, but he has a long-term vision because I absolutely believe in the marrow of my bones that he will be our nominee in 2024,” Bannon later added. “He’ll come back to us. We’ll have a sweeping victory in 2022, and he’ll lead us in 2024.”
...
“We totally get rid of Nancy Pelosi, and the first act of President Trump as speaker will be to impeach Joe Biden for his illegitimate activities of stealing the presidency,” Bannon said, leading to applause and hollers from the Boston Republicans.
...
“It’s between populists, nationalists, traditionalists versus these kind of globalists, elites, secular radicals,” Bannon said, adding, “This is what I think the future of this movement is … . We’re going to have a big aspect of disaffected Democrats that start to come over.”

This is, of course, close to anti-semitism with the talk of opposing "globalists". Again, it's delusional to think there are "disaffected Democrats" when Biden's policies have huge support among Democrats, good support among independents, and the initial policies are even going down well with a lot of Republican voters, in polls.
