Steve Bannon and other prominent advisers to ex-President Donald Trump have had enough of Trump's shenanigans. According to Bannon, who was Trump’s ex-adviser, former US President’s demand from everyone behind the weird NFT collection should be removed today. Bannon said ‘I can’t do this anymore’. He expressed his exasperation on Thursday on his show, "The War Room," while talking about the collection of the forty-fifth US president, which was launched a day before.

Trump's previous strategist stated that the person he helped to enter the White House was one of the great presidents and that he still loves the people who work for him, including his communications team. Two advisers of Trump in the White House were unanimous with Bannon. Bannon was the White House's chief strategist in the initial months of the Trump administration.

Trump's latest stint should never have occurred, as per Dr. Sebastian Gorka, who was Trump's deputy assistant and is now hosting America First. Another fellow White House adviser from Trump era, Steve Cortes went a step ahead, calling for the suspension of everyone helping Trump at Mar-a-Lago, not just those accompanying the cringe-worthy NFT release. He was also disappointed with Kanye West and Trump's anti-Semitic stance.

Cortez also stressed that "President Trump cannot be absolved of responsibility" for the debacle. Cortez said the video released by Trump was "not the 45th president" but about things like diamonds and silk. He said it's what you'd expect from a quirky Trump supporter. Donald Trump shouldn't be making this kind of video. This video shows a lack of discipline and focus, and it takes incredibly steely discipline and focuses on going against an intelligence agency.
