Wall Street Journal: Majority Of Trump’s Inauguration Speech Was Actually Written By Steve Bannon

Death & Taxes reports:

In the days leading up to Donald Trump’s inauguration, the president-elect’s team made a big deal about the fact that Trump would be penning his own dark, anti-globalist inauguration address. Trump doesn’t need any fancy speech writers like that guy who came before him. He’s gonna buckle down and do everything himself, even if he possibly has to kick a receptionist out of her desk at his hotel to do it.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the majority of the speech was actually penned by white nationalist Steve Bannon with assistance from Trump speechwriter Stephen Miller. This comes as a shock to literally nobody who actually listened to the speech, as most people noticed an eerie similarity between Trump’s words and Bannon’s past rhetoric. Also, this was the shortest speech since Jimmy Carter, so Bannon couldn’t even be bothered to write a long nationalist screed.

The Wall Street Journal story is behind their paywall.
