Steve Bannon on working for Trump: I did 'the Lord's work'

Steve Bannon, President Trump’s former chief strategist, has described his time with the Trump administration as doing “the Lord’s work.”

He makes that comment in a documentary called, “The Brink,” which is about Bannon’s life since his August 2017 departure from the White House.

According to USA Today, he says: “There’s no glamour to the job. I hated every second I was there. The West Wing has bad karma to it. They say, ‘Because you were doing bad stuff!’ But I was doing the Lord’s work.”

After his White House exit, Bannon was targeted by Trump when excerpts from Michael Wolff’s book, ‘Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,’ revealed that Bannon had made unflattering remarks about Donald Trump Jr. and Jared Kushner.

Trump released a statement at the time, saying: “Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me or my Presidency. When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind.”

The book also raised questions about Trump’s mental fitness, leading him to go after both Wolff and Bannon in his tweets and press appearances.

“Michael Wolff is a total loser who made up stories in order to sell this really boring and untruthful book,” Trump wrote in one of the tweets on January 5. “He used Sloppy Steve Bannon, who cried when he got fired and begged for his job. Now Sloppy Steve has been dumped like a dog by almost everyone. Too bad!”
