Something doesn't add up with the dismissal of Steve Bannon. I propose that there has been a "wink and a nod." The heat is a little too warm right now. "Steve, you go back to Breitbart and when all this blows over we will be stronger than ever." Thoughts?
 
When he claimed there was no military option for NK (there's no way to construe that as anything other than undermining the president), I knew he'd be gone soon. It had to be the last straw, a friend agreed.

It's a fun CT, I suppose, but better to go with something unexpected.

Since there are no facts to quote.........I still think there is more than meets the eye. So CT for now.

Naww Trump brought the circus to DC and they formed a circular firing squad. It just took Bannon a bit longer to realize he'd been hit... ;)

I seriously don't get how anyone thought Trump could manage his own administration... :peace
 
From Vanity Fair:

On the morning he was being ousted as Donald Trump’s chief strategist last Friday, Steve Bannon had already turned the page. “Why do you sound unfazed?” a friend asked Bannon as news of his demise ricocheted across the web. “Because,” Bannon replied, “we’re going to war.” Hours later, Bannon was calling into the editorial meeting at Breitbart News, rallying his troops to continue the battles he waged inside the White House. “We have a duty to the country to be the vanguard of ‘The Movement,’” he told his staff, according to one person on the call. Bannon’s main targets are the West Wing’s coterie of New York Democrat “globalists”—Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner and former Goldman Sachs president Gary Cohn—as well as the “hawks,” comprised of National Security Adviser H.R McMaster and his deputy, Dina Powell. “He wants to beat their ideas into submission,” Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow told me. “Steve has a lot of things up his sleeve.” https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/08/steve-bannon-readies-his-revenge

I'm with you there. Trump may lie like a rug, but he's also a straightforward kind of guy. I don't see him doing any complicated slight of hand, now you see Bannon, now you don't. He's gone. I'm just interested to see how long Bannon's support for Trump will last.:popcorn2:
 
I think there is a definite reason for Bannon leaving the WH...and Trump is on board with that reason. But it has nothing to do with any dissatisfaction on Trump's part with Bannon. I think they both agreed that Bannon will be more useful when Trump finally decides to declare war on the Congressional GOP Elites who have been opposing Trump.

Trump has been sending signals...warnings...to those GOP Elites for a while. He will eventually get to the point when he pulls the trigger and there is no one better than Bannon at influencing Republicans against those GOP Elites.

Trump's war with those guys hasn't started yet...but it will, since the GOP Elites still insist on not supporting their own expressed agenda which happens to be Trump's agenda and which happens to be the reason both Trump and the GOP Elites are in office.
 
was it anything more than a pre-condition for kelly to accept the job

Holy mother of god, you give Trump too much credit. He's not going to declare war with the Congressional GOP Elites... because he will ****ing lose and he knows this. No, it was Bannon who became dissatisfied with Trump and his failed Presidency, nothing of Steve's agenda was going to get accomplished with the incompetent POTUS we have so Steve orchestrated his own ouster.

You haven't been listening to Trump.

He has already put McConnell on the spot. He has already put McCain on the spot. He has already targeted Flake.

He's giving McConnell...and Ryan, in a round about way...the chance to change, but if they won't he will definitely open fire on them. Bannon is one of his guns.

His obvious indulgence in alcohol and rage issus aren't going to make for a storybook ending.

Are you referring to Bannon? The Trumpster doesn't drink, so his rages him, unfiltered.
