It's gotta be. Bannon won't take this lightly. And Trump refuses to shut his shit up.

Even if he had almost no duties or responsibilities, I have a feeling Trump is going to wish he'd kept Bannon on just to have some control over him. Man is dangerous. If his plan of chaos didn't pan out because Trump was too politically inept-- Too stupid for Bannon's own good, basically-- He'll just continue the quest on his own. Played the GOP like a fiddle via Breitbart through the primaries, for example, and now he's a free agent.

Bannon will still have control. He will talk to him every day I'm sure on his personal phone. This is Bannon taking the sword for Trump for the Nazi stuff.

Once again we'll get reporters embarrassing themselves by describing an hours-long pivot. I don't think the CEOs/charities are coming back though.
I think you're underestimating how much more you can push your agenda in person compared to over the phone. Every team I've worked on has in-person meetings for exactly this reason.
Trump is a notoriously suggestible man and having Bannon out of his immediate environment is good.
they'll just see it as 11-dimensional chess, not a real breakup

Hmmmm
She's talking about these stories, maybe others as well. (also they seem to be bogus stories that got picked up all over the rest of the right wing mediasphere)
FBI lawyer allegedly under investigation for purportedly leaking about Yahoo, Inc. program
Former Obama aide Ben Rhodes is now a person of interest in the unmasking investigation

Bah, that's what I meant.

I feel like Trump's entire administration can be summed up by those scenes in movies where the villain is scolding his right-hand-man for fumbling something up, and says "And this is the price of failure" before turning around and killing some random mook.
Except here, Trump is both the villain and the screw-up assistant, and picking off his ranks over his own mistakes.

I think you guys might be overhyping the Trump/Bannon schism. I expect a lot of zealous Trump defending more than White House bombthrowing. If any part of Bannon is going to be re-unleashed, it'll be attacks on Ryan, McConnell, and Congress. But I don't expect him to start launching outside shitstorms at Trump.
Once the tweetstorms start he's going to eventually end up saying he was never actually working for the WH to begin with.

Oooh, tell me more, tell me more.
Anyone that thinks Bannon is going to go on some blistering attack of Trump is sniffing too much hopium.
He's going to still talk to Trump on the phone. He's going to use Miller as a way to push legislation directly. And he's going to cast himself as a martyr sacrificed to the globalists for Trump's sake.

It's Hunger Games where they all agree to band together so they don't have to kill anyone, and then the game master gets upset so he starts launching fireballs at everyone.

he can keep directing smear campaigns against McMaster and Cohn and the rest and Kelly won't be able to do shit.

NYC floor traders aren't the same guys as hedge fund managers. I'm sure most of them hate Bannon for a variety of reasons.

People loved Trump for his racism. They just didn't want him going after middle-class white people.
People rarely care unless something personally affects them

The only one who's going to be left at the end of this is Hope Hicks.
That interview he did was real bad. Regardless of any of the other stuff.

I ran over to the_donald. Its a stickied topic but there's only one comment from a moderator under it referring to multiple news sources confirming Bannon's resignation.
Key there being: resignation.

R/the_donald is just removing the conversation entirely from the thread. The stickied thread is no longer there.
They're in full blown denial mode.

If he was internally at war with the other half of Trumps circle, why do you think that war won't play out in public through Bretibart?
He was already warring with them right now. Everyone with a brain could see it through the articles posted on Breitbart. He's obviously going to keep attacking the "globalists" like McMaster and Cohn and Kushner.
Actual real attacks on Trump? I'll believe it when it happens.

I get that. It's just that Bannon is still a favorite among his base. It seems wild to me that after going all White Nationalist he fires his White Nationalist and there's word Gorka is next.
