Steve Bannon used to be in the president’s good graces, but the pair has had a very public falling out. Bannon, the former White House chief strategist and current Breitbart executive, was quoted in a blistering tell-all book, painting the president’s son in a negative light.
Trump heavily rebuked Bannon in a public statement, saying Bannon “lost his mind” after he was “fired” from the White House.
“Steve was rarely in a one-on-one meeting with me and only pretends to have had influence to fool a few people with no access and no clue, whom he helped write phony books,” Trump said.

I authorized Zero access to White House (actually turned him down many times) for author of phony book! I never spoke to him for book. Full of lies, misrepresentations and sources that don’t exist. Look at this guy’s past and watch what happens to him and Sloppy Steve!

Ahead of the release of the controversial book by Michael Wolff, “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,” Trump slammed both the book and Bannon on social media – giving Bannon his nickname.
“Look at this guy’s past and watch what happens to him and Sloppy Steve,” Trump warned.
Trump reiterated the “Sloppy Steve” nickname in another tweet, in which he praised the Mercer family – wealthy conservative mega-donors – for having “dropped the leaker known as Sloppy Steve Bannon.”

Rebekah Mercer recently offered a rare public rebuff of Bannon, saying her family has "provided no financial support to his political agenda, nor do we support his recent actions and statements." Robert Mercer announced late last year that he would sell his stake in Breitbart News and distanced himself from some views associated with Bannon and the right-wing publication.
