Nightmarish Trailer For Steve Bannon’s New Movie Features Don Lemon, Pete Hegseth And That Racist Lunch Guy

After his unceremonious ouster from the White House, Steve Bannon fled to Europe, where he planned to guide insurgent right-wing candidates to political success, sparking a nationalist revolution across the continent.

The reception was lukewarm. The Washington Post detailed the “chilly” reception to Bannon’s quixotic plans of fomenting another alt-right revolt.

So it appears Bannon is back to doing what he was known for before serving as President Donald Trump‘s comically villainous consigliere: making terrifying documentaries about the American Left bringing on the apocalypse.

The trailer for Trump @War, Bannon’s new documentary, set for release just ahead of the 2018 midterms, premiered on Axios Thursday morning.

It opens with dramatic footage of Trump supporters getting attacked in public between clips of CNN’s Don Lemon pinning responsibility for the president’s actions on them.

Then appears former Breitbart editor Raheem Kassam, inexplicably dressed in a large trench coat and silk scarf. “The left, and the opposition party in the media,” he warns. An image of Kathy Griffin holding up a facsimile of Trump’s severed head flashes.

“2018 is another election about Donald Trump,” Fox & Friends Weekend host Pete Hegseth says. “Because you know what, they’re scared of him. They are scared of what he’s done. They are scared of the economy he’s created.”

The strings intensify. I’m terrified. Corey Lewandowski appears.

And then — cameo appearance by the guy who went on a racist rant at a Midtown Manhattan lunch spot!

Sebastian Gorka, the former White House official who has been handing out fake Fox News business cards since his ouster from the administration, makes an appearance.

“This is a cultural war,” Hegseth cries. “The left wants to undo our country, they want to take away the freedoms we have.”

“The president is unstoppable,” Gorka says. “But he is only one man.”

It’s not clear that Bannon’s nascent failure in Europe will translate into a second stroke of success in the United States. Let’s check in on the last time Trump mentioned Bannon in a tweet…

The Mercer Family recently dumped the leaker known as Sloppy Steve Bannon. Smart!
