 Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon tore into the powerful Koch political network Sunday, accusing it of undermining President Donald Trump ahead of a midterm election that threatens to derail his presidency. 
  
 “What they have to do is shut up and get with the program, OK?” Bannon said in an interview with POLITICO. “And here’s the program: Ground game to support Trump’s presidency and program, [and] victory on Nov. 6.”

 Bannon’s comments came as the network of major Republican Party donors, led by billionaire industrialist Charles Koch, convened in Colorado Springs, Colorado, to discuss the 2018 political landscape. During the retreat, top Koch officials described the Trump White House as toxic and destructive to the country. 
  
 They sharply criticized Trump's protectionist trade policies, arguing that his actions were taking a toll on the economy. A video shown during the conference depicted images of recently shuttered businesses. 
  
 “The divisiveness of this White House is causing long-term damage,” Brian Hooks, a senior Koch lieutenant, told reporters at the event. “When in order to win on an issue someone else has to lose, it makes it very difficult to unite people and solve the problems in this country. You see that on trade: In order to get to a good place on trade, convince the American people that trade is bad.”

 The Kochs, who espouse free-trade views, have long expressed discomfort with Trump, and their network largely sat out the 2016 election. But the open hostilities at this weekend’s conference came as something of a surprise. 
  
 Since the election, there had appeared to be a thaw. David and Bill Koch met with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort a few months after the inauguration, and at a donor meeting earlier this year, the network lavished praise on the president’s tax reform bill. 
  
 With 100 days to go before a midterm election that has emerged as a referendum on Trump and his policies, Bannon argued, the Kochs need to rally behind the president. Democrats, who he said want to halt Trump’s agenda and launch impeachment proceedings, are energized and focused — and out-hustling Republicans. 
  
 He described the Koch political operation as ineffective, saying it had wasted untold dollars on losing past elections. And he argued that voters had rejected the free-trade approach the Kochs embrace in favor of Trump’s brand of economic populism. 
  
 “We can have a theoretical discussion later, OK? This is why they don’t know what it means to win, OK? We don’t have time to have some theoretical discussion and to have their spokesman come out and say the president is divisive,” Bannon said. 
  
 He said it was unacceptable “for them to come out and talk about divisiveness” given their long-running lack of support for Trump. 
  
 “They were the first people to put the knife in his back,” he said. 
  
 A Koch network spokesman, James Davis, shrugged off the criticism. 
  
 “We are focused on uniting the country to help remove barriers that are preventing people from reaching the potential,” he said. “Toward that end, we look forward to working with the President Trump, Congress and communities whenever possible to help people improve their lives.” 
  
 The Koch network has pledged to spend $400 million ahead of the midterms. 
  
 Bannon left the White House a year ago, and earlier this year, he had a high-profile falling out with Trump after he made critical remarks about the president and his family in a book, “Fire and Fury.” 
  
 Since that time, he has taken steps to re-ingratiate himself with the president and has been a loud outside supporter and spokesman. He described Trump’s policies as across-the-board successes and said that he’d achieved a wide range of conservative policy goals. 
  
 Bannon praised, among other things, Trump’s handling of the economy, tariffs and tax cuts, and noted that he’d nominated an array of conservative judges and pursued stringent immigration policies. 
  
 But he said that the Kochs had only chosen a few Trump policies to support “a-la-carte” and in many instances had actively fought him. 
  
 Displeasure with the Trump agenda was an ongoing theme of the weekend’s conference. During remarks to reporters on Sunday, Charles Koch expressed regret about some of his past financial support for Republican candidates — and hinted that he’d be open to working with Democrats. 
  
 "Charles Koch is a good man, but 100 days before an election that will determine the direction of the country is not the time to tell us that you are prepared to work with Democrats that support parts of your progressive agenda,” Bannon said. 
  
 “It's wrong, it's stupid and it shows contempt for the hardworking grassroots folks that delivered the victory that got your tax cut,” he added.

 President Trump castigated the “globalist” Koch brothers in A Tuesday morning tweet sent days after the conservative business magnate Charles Koch suggested he would be open to contributing his substantial financial and political resources to Democratic candidates in the midterm elections. 
  
 “The globalist Koch Brothers, who have become a total joke in real Republican circles, are against Strong Borders and Powerful Trade. I never sought their support because I don’t need their money or bad ideas,” the president wrote on Twitter. “They love my Tax & Regulation Cuts, Judicial picks & more. I made them richer.” 
  
 Charles, who leads the brothers’ massive donor network, sharply criticized the administration’s protectionist trade agenda during a Koch network gathering in Colorado Springs over the weekend, and signaled a willingness to back Democrats who embraced his long-championed libertarian principles. 
  
 “I don’t care what initials are in front or after somebody’s name — I’d like there to be many more politicians who would embrace and have the courage to run on a platform” that acts in keeping with his political priorities, which include lowering taxes and regulation, criminal justice reform, permissive immigration policy and free trade. 
  
 Brian Hooks, president of the Koch Foundation, was more direct in his criticism of the administration. 
  
 “The divisiveness of this White House is causing long-term damage,” Hooks told reporters over the weekend. “When in order to win on an issue someone else has to lose, it makes it very difficult to unite people and solve the problems in this country. You see that on trade: In order to get to a good place on trade, convince the American people that trade is bad.” 
  
 The Koch brothers, who remained largely dormant during the 2016 presidential election, also came under fire from former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon following their comments over the weekend. 
  
 “Shut up and get with the program,” Bannon said, directing the conservative political fixtures to abandon their commitments and back Trump’s agenda without question. 
  
 Trump, however, declined their support in a subsequent Tuesday morning tweet. 
  
 “Their network is highly overrated, I have beaten them at every turn. They want to protect their companies outside the U.S. from being taxed, I’m for America First & the American Worker – a puppet for no one,” Trump tweeted. “Two nice guys with bad ideas. Make America Great Again!” ||||| Charles and David Koch, the billionaire libertarian-ish brothers and longtime Republican Party patrons, never did like Donald Trump. During the 2016 election, they refused to contribute to Trump’s candidacy, noting that they would instead spend their $300 million to prop up Republican candidates in local races. They remained aloof throughout 2017, with Charles suggesting that Trump’s Muslim ban was reminiscent of Nazi-era racism, and both brothers implying that they would wait it out before backing Trump, who had begun to rail about tariffs. “We’re principled, and if we can’t get comfortable with the policies that are in place, then we’re not going to support them,” said Mark Holden, Koch Industries’s top lawyer. Though they made several attempts to influence the White House’s policy through their connections with top figures like Mike Pence, the president’s recent gesture toward a trade war with China represented a proverbial final straw. “From the beginning we've said that tariffs and protectionism is a bad idea,” Tim Phillips, president of Americans for Prosperity, the Kochs’ political organization, told CNBC. “[The White House has] explained their reasoning behind it and we just strongly disagree.” 
  
 Even then, the Kochs still hoped to push their agenda through Congress, donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to individual representatives and Republican fund-raising groups, and announcing that they would spend up to $400 million to defend their control. But on Sunday, during an annual seminar with roughly 500 top conservative donors, Americans for Prosperity announced it would no longer solely support Republican candidates, formalizing a visible schism within the G.O.P.’s donor class. As Charles Koch put it to reporters, “I don’t care what initials are in front or after somebody’s name.” His comments seemed like a foregone conclusion following several Kochworld attacks on the Trump administration’s policies over the weekend, with the brothers and their spokespeople flaming the White House left and right. “It’s a bail-out to bad policy,” Koch network spokesperson James Davis told reporters of the administration’s announcement that it would spend $12 billion to relieve farmers impacted by its trade war. “You can’t make this up. We put tariffs supposedly to put pressure on China and then it actually hurts farmers here. Crops waste away in the field. Then you pull a Depression-era program out to bail out farmers and make them whole. But who’s underwriting our debt?” Another Koch official lamented that the “divisiveness of this White House is causing long-term damage.” Koch himself called Trump’s tariffs “unfair to the people.” 
  
 “I know this is uncomfortable,” said Emily Seidel, the C.E.O. of Americans for Prosperity, during a speech. “If you are a Democrat and stand up to [Senator] Elizabeth Warren ”—the regulatory-allergic Kochs’ ultimate progressive boogeyman—“to corral enough votes for financial reform that breaks barriers for community banks and families, you’re darn right we will work with you. . . . If you are a Republican who sits on the committee that wrote the worst spending bill in our country’s history and you voted for it, you’re darn right we will hold you accountable.” 
  
 The Kochs’s hostility toward Trump isn’t new, though their rhetoric seems to mark a turning point. A.F.P. has been subtly instigating this agenda for months, running a not insignificant volume of ads blasting Republicans for voting in favor of Trump’s controversial trillion-dollar spending package, and going out of their way to advertise in support of Democrats who embrace their agenda, such as North Dakota Senator Heidi Heitkamp, who voted to roll back Dodd-Frank regulations on community banks. (Heitkamp, incidentally, faces a tough race in a vulnerable seat this year.) Perhaps the brothers Koch hoped that overtly voicing their objections would lure some Republicans back into the free-market fold, thereby preserving their Congressional majorities. 
  
 Whatever their motivation, Trump loyalists were not pleased. “It’s wrong, it’s stupid and it shows contempt for the hardworking grassroots folks that delivered the victory that got your tax cut,” Steve Bannon, former chairman of the ardently pro-Trump Web site Breitbart News, immediately told Politico. “Charles Koch is a good man, but 100 days before an election that will determine the direction of the country is not the time to tell us that you are prepared to work with Democrats that support parts of your progressive agenda,” he added. “What they have to do is shut up and get with the program . . . And here’s the program: ground game to support Trump’s presidency and program, [and] victory on November 6.” 
  
 It’s possible that Bannon, who is in the midst of his own populist comeback campaign in Europe, is overreacting. After all, the Koch camp is still spending massive amounts to keep Republicans in power post-2018 midterms—if the G.O.P. retains control of Congress, it will by default be pushing a Trumpian agenda. It could be that the Kochs’ willingness to speak out against the White House’s trade policy, then, is more to assuage their consciences than to damage the president. But it certainly sets them apart from Trump’s rabid isolationist base, lending credence to Republican fears that Trump’s trade war, which is already dinging American businesses and costing American consumers, may come home to roost among Republican voters. |||||
Amid a morning flurry of tweets, President Trump took aim at two powerful figures on the right: brothers David and Charles Koch. "The globalist Koch Brothers, who have become a total joke in real Republican circles, are against Strong Borders and Powerful Trade," the president tweeted. "I never sought their support because I don't need their money or bad ideas," he continued, adding, "Their network is highly overrated." His comments, however, come after the Kochs lobbed an attack of their own at a weekend forum in Colorado. Coverage: Kochs' criticism: At a Koch network gathering in Colorado Springs, Charles Koch criticized Trump's tariffs and protectionist trade policies and suggested he's open to supporting Democratic candidates who are more in line with the Kochs' free-trade and libertarian views, reports the National Review. "I don't care what initials are in front or after somebody's name," he told the group. Turning point? A video during the forum showed businesses supposedly shuttered because of retaliatory tariffs, notes Politico, which says "the open hostilities at this weekend's conference came as something of a surprise." At Vanity Fair, Tina Nguyen sounds a familiar note: "The Kochs' hostility toward Trump isn't new, though their rhetoric seems to mark a turning point."
