Steve Bannon believes Democrats talking about racism instead of the economy will help Trump crush them in 2020 as he contradicts his boss on North Korea and dishes on West Wing war with Gary Cohn

    White House's chief strategist called a liberal magazine writer on Wednesday and spoke casually about North korea, China and race politics
    Said despite Trump's 'fire and fury' warnings, there's no real U.S. military solution to the North Korean missile standoff
    Insisted the U.S. is in an 'economic war' with China, and said he's feuding with National Economic Council chair Gary Cohn about how heavy-handed to be
    Predicted that Democrats will be crushed at the polls if they continue their fixation on race and identity politics, instead of focusing on the economy

White House chief strategist Steve Bannon stunned the political chattering class on Wednesday when he called a liberal magazine writer out of the blue and dished dirt to him about race politics, the fight against North Korea, and internal West Wing skirmishes over an economic war with China.

Bannon told the American Prospect, a far-left publication, that Democrats' fixation on race politics instead of jobs and the economy would be their doom in 2020.

'The longer they talk about identity politics, I got 'em. I want them to talk about racism every day,' he boasted.

'If the left is focused on race and identity, and we go with economic nationalism, we can crush the Democrats.'
