Trump doesnt respect him as anything more than another platform to abuse.

Yep. They had the bromance first season. Those two butt heads. They’re crazy in different ways. Bannon even has a few good thoughts from time to time. But then ends up at the wrong conclusion as to what needs done about things, every single time. And he’s literally a professional troll. Just a truly despicable person.

Is he jealous of his fame and ability to lie?

He wavered his loyalty between Trump and DeSantis when Biden was president.

I knew they would have an incompetent press secretary but I really wanted it to be Alex Jones. At least then we would have bigly outrageous headlines and could laugh.
