"SNIP.......
Stephen K. Bannon's main financial backer is formally cutting ties with the former Trump adviser.
In a new statement Thursday, billionaire conservative donor Rebekah Mercer said that she has not spoken to Bannon, the former White House chief strategist, in many months and that she continues to support President Trump.
"I support President Trump and the platform upon which he was elected," Mercer said. "My family and I have not communicated with Steve Bannon in many months and have provided no financial support to his political agenda, nor do we support his recent actions and statements."
Mercer almost never speaks publicly and her statement about her longtime ally represented an extraordinary rebuke. It comes in the wake of new book by journalist Michael Wolff, "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," which includes incendiary comments by Bannon about the president he helped elect and about Trump's family.

because they pretty much run the country behind the scenes.
