question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Bannon ? WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump’s lawyer said on Thursday he would try to stop publication of a book that portrays an inept president in a fumbling White House and threatened legal action against former top aide Steve Bannon over “defamatory” comments in the book.
Harder also told Reuters “legal action is imminent” against  Bannon .
Trump cut ties with  Bannon  on Wednesday  saying his former adviser had “lost his mind ” in a blistering statement issued after comments attributed to  Bannon  in the book were made public.
Trump lawyers sent a cease-and-desist letter to  Bannon  on Wednesday asking  him  not to disclose any confidential information. They said  Bannon  had breached an agreement by communicating with Wolff about Trump  his family and the campaign and made “disparaging statements and in some cases outright defamatory statements” about them.
In the book   Bannon  was quoted as describing a June 2016 meeting with a group of Russians at Trump Tower in New York as “treasonous” and “unpatriotic.” The meeting  held after the Russians promised damaging information on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton  was attended by Donald Trump Jr.  Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort  who was Trump’s campaign manager at the time.
Trump’s statement also diminished  Bannon ’s role in the election victory and accused  him  of leaking to the media. Before joining the campaign   Bannon  had headed conservative Breitbart News website and  he  proved to be a divisive figure in the White House.  He  returned to Breitbart after being fired  although he reportedly continued to talk with Trump.

 Bannon ’s reaction to the book controversy has been muted. In interviews with Breitbart News after the news broke   he  called Trump a “great man” and pledged continued support for his agenda.
Bradley Moss  a Washington lawyer specializing in national security law  said any non-disclosure agreement would not apply to  Bannon  once  he  became a government employee. The government has far less power to limit speech by employees than private companies  Moss said.
A lawsuit could hurt Trump because  Bannon ’s lawyers would be entitled to interview White House officials and collect potentially damaging documents from them in his defense  Moss said.
On Thursday  the White House said no personal devices  including cellphones  would be allowed in the West Wing beginning next week for security purposes. The moves followed the  Bannon  split but had been considered for some time.
 Bannon  helped Trump shape a populist  anti-establishment message and had been the president’s link to  his  hard-line conservative base of support  which is often at odds with the Republican Party establishment.

question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Donald Trump Jacobus ? An appeals court upheld a decision Tuesday tossing a Republican commentator's $4 million defamation suit against  President Trump   ruling  his  tweeted insults "were opinion and not fact."
A lower court dismissed Cheryl Jacobus's suit in January  ruling she was engaged in a "petty quarrel" with  Trump  that did not rise to the level of defamation.  Trump  called  her  "a real dummy " among other jabs.
Jacobus  a GOP consultant and TV commentator  sued  Trump  and his former campaign manager  Corey Lewandowski  in April 2016  contending that they raised questions about her professional ethics by suggesting that she only criticized  Trump  on TV after his campaign turned her down for a job early in 2015.

question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mikaela Shiffrin ? The start of  Mikaela Shiffrin 's bid for multiple medals at the 2018 Olympics was delayed yet again when the women's slalom was postponed from Wednesday to Friday because of strong winds.
It's the third time in four days an Alpine skiing race was shelved because gusts made it too dangerous for competition.  Shiffrin  originally was supposed to get started with the giant slalom on Monday; that race was rescheduled for Thursday and will now be  her  first at these Winter Games.
Now Friday will also be a double-competition day  with Shiffrin attempting to defend  her  2014 gold medal in the slalom  which will be held at the Yongpyong Alpine Center that hosts technical races  while the men compete in the super-G at the Jeongseon Alpine Center speed hill about 30 miles (50 kilometers) away.
