Bannon gets fired, things get worse for Trump with more stories, fires Kelly.

 

[pushbyte]

Although I'll gladly welcome Bannon out of the White House, this is hardly a victory (if true). First, many elements of the GOP will say it's a repudiation of the white nationalist movement by the administration and that we can move beyond Charlottesville. Second, Bannon outside of the White House means he's free to aggressively push forward with Breitbart in a way that he's been unable to do since having an official WH job.

And Trump resents the publicity Bannon has been getting as mastermind of the campaign.

Hardly surprising this would be the reason he gets the boot. Nothing will change either way.

Kelley seems to be doing a good job

In what sense? It's been even more of a disaster than ever.

Lmao

 

[Chittagong]

I refuse to believe Trump would be so dumb that he'd fire Bannon.

 

[Ithil]

I mean, isn't Kelly more responsible for this mess? He was supposed to bring order to White House. Seems like Trump walked all over him with his freewheeling press conference and those ridiculous tweets. Bannon needs to go, but he's not responsible for Trump watching Fox News and repeating White Supremacists talking points.

I think Trump being a uncontrollable simple minded bigoted manbaby is his own fault.

This implies that fat old goof does an iota of exercise.

 

[Zolo]

Yeah. You could have the best lawyers and the managers in the world, and it wouldn't matter. It's why they stay away despite him being president.

 

[JettDash]

Maybe you're confusing him with Mattis or McMaster? I forget which one was forced into his position due to being an active service member.

That was McMaster.

Mattis and Kelly are both retired.

 

[Swass]

Please, please, please go rogue Bannon. Be as petty towards the administration as you possibly can.

Would this be Bannon's face turn?

 

[SoundofSilence]

Kelly did take the job.

Though I still kinda think he did it to make Trump's presidency less disastrous.

I predict Kelly will resign in September. He doesn't need the job and doesn't need his reputation wrecked by an avowed racist.

We must be at the Kid Buu stage....

Question is if Bannon is out, will Breitbart turn on him?

So will the Neo Nazis.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Trump is going to fire Kelly instead.

 

[Surfinn]

I refuse to believe Trump would be so dumb that he'd fire Bannon.

Why would it be dumber than anything else he's done?

 

[chuckddd]

 

[Surfinn]

Lol this thread

 

[Akuun]

Making Breitbart turn on Trump is a good thing. Just let the racist nutjobs eat themselves.

 

[sflufan]

Question is if Bannon is out, will Breitbart turn on him?

No, Breitbart will focus all fire on the "globalists" who pushed out Bannon while claiming that they have taken Trump hostage.

 

[jstripes]

Would this be Bannon's face turn?

Nah, he'd do it out of spite, not out of any public interest. He'd still be a shitheel, but a useful one.

A 4 star general couldn't rein trump in. Tywin lannister, he ain't.

But what was he supposed to do, bend trump over his knee and spank him?

 

[DerangedHermit]

To save the body, they're going to cut off the dick.

What if it's like Hydra? Cut off one dick, two more takes it's place!

 

[roytheone]

Any chance this will lead to breibart turning against Trump?

 

[BlastProcessing]

[Robdraggoo]

Please, please, please go rogue Bannon. Be as petty towards the administration as you possibly can.

His interview the other day would suggest, that if he is fired, they would sooner turn on h than trump

 

[BrassDragon]

I love you, GAF.

 

[Linkura]

Give Trump a weekly list of things he can do to screw over minorities.

I'd consider that a responsibility. Who can take that over? Sessions?

 

[andythinkpad]

So which even more racist guy is orange fuck going to hire.

 

[Dead Prince]

So what is it that he actually does then?

s*** his own d***

 

[Lev]

Let's say that Trump fires Bannon. What's the worst that Bannon can do? Air dirty laundry? How much worst could Bannon expose with how badly things have been going? If Breitbart attacks Trump, what does it matter? Trump will just call them fake news like they actually are.

 

[donkey show]

 

[sflufan]

Any chance this will lead to breibart turning against Trump?

None whatsoever.

 

[JettDash]

LMAO

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

What does Bannon even do in the White House?

Bannon and Hannity have the ear of the president to push the Breitbart and Fox News agendas, respectively. The two do not always coincide.

 

[Linkura]

 

[JettDash]

Bannon, along with fellow fascist Miller, wrote that Muslim ban.

Bannon will be free from any constraints that he currently has in the White House from fully promoting his economic nationalist/ethno-centrist agenda. He won't turn on Trump at all but will rather leak everything about McMaster, Cohn, Kushner, and the other "globalists" who he despises and he'll frame it as that these are the people who are preventing Trump from doing what he wants to do.

If anything, Bannon becomes MORE dangerous outside of the White House than in it.

Nah, it doesn't matter who is in the job. It's already a very difficult job under a "normal" president. It's a million times more difficult with a rouge mentally unstable man child behind the desk. His presidency will always be a uncontrollable dumpster fire. Even with the best fire fighters standing in front of it the fire will rage on and a new dumpster lit aflame every week.

Dumbass Don's problem his him not his staff. It's not fixable.

 

[RulkezX]

Yeah it's apparent they've turned on him since it became obvious that he's on borrowed time.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

It feels like he doesn't even do that anymore though, like Trump has reached critical racist mass by himself and is now self sustaining...

He literally looks like he's dying.

 

[Link]

I predict Kelly will resign in September. He doesn't need the job and doesn't need his reputation wrecked by an avowed racist.

Too late, imo. That already happened when he accepted the position.

 

[DonShula]

The White House under Trump goes through more seasonal collections than IKEA.

 

[DonShula]

Normally there'd be a good herpes joke here but I don't think you can get it from yourself.

Right now he is kinda working with the GOP, outside he can go at the GOP cause he already hates Ryan and Turtleman. So I think it becomes more letthemfight.jpg

Gorka has gotta go. Dude is a useless piece of shit asslicker. I mean, Bannon is a piece of shit, make no mistake, and I want him gone, but Gorka is an easy one. Why even keep him on?
I guess Trump does like that he licks his ass every day on the news.

 

[Ruprit]

Is that blood on his shirt collar?

 

[Conciliator]

jesus fuck

dude looks like he saw the gate to hell

 

[ApharmdX]

I despise Steve Bannon but is this really wise on Trump's end? He is under fire from the "moderate" wing of the party already- Romney, McCain, Kasich, Rubio have all denounced him or his ideas this week. Without Bannon Trump loses his alt-right and far-right base. And Breitbart has dipped their toes in the water already with anti-Trump stories. Expect a full-on assault on the administration once Bannon gets shitcanned.

I'd bet dollars to donuts that Bannon's publicity is what's grinding Trump's gears the most. Every time Trump is asked about him, he makes a point to mention that Bannon was brought on late. Whatever the pretense, firing that fat dick is good for the country. Watching the far right begin to turn on Trump will be a nice bonus too.

Yeah, it seems like Bannon's high profile and also the accusations that he controls Trump like a puppet have brought him here. It isn't his white nationalism or antisemitism or racism. Trump was fine with all of that.
