ExpandMyMind Posted August 18, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) Unfortunately it's more likely that this was done because he kept taking credit for winning Trump the election, which was seriously p***ing him off Quote Donald Trump's chief strategist Steve Bannon has left his post, US media reports http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-40980994 Edited August 18, 2017 by Saru Tone down the hostile rhetoric please 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I cant, actually when trump announced he was joining his team I scoured Brietbart and found that most of what was said about Bannon was truly misconstrued and twisted to demonize him. The "renegade jew" one being the one that sticks out in my mind. That being said its become clear that the "alt-right" movement is just a hop and skip (not even a jump) away from the white nationalist movements and Bannon proclaimed Breitbart the platform of the "alt-right". IDK if you didnt catch my drift in my previous post but I was suggesting perhaps Trump fired Bannon for offending the white supremacists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not at all. Im saying that people tried to use that headline as proof of Bannon's racism but placed in context it wasn't racist or offensive at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExpandMyMind Posted August 18, 2017 Author #10 Share Posted August 18, 2017 This is absolutely crazy when you actually think about it for a minute. On the one hand (regarding Trump in general), I'm embarrassed and I feel sorry for my American friends, on the other hand this is hilarious and I never want it to end. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExpandMyMind Posted August 18, 2017 Author #11 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Well, I think this is the first time a US President has been fired. RIP Bannon. RIP the dream. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmer77 Posted August 18, 2017 #13 Share Posted August 18, 2017 #WAR': Breitbart set to take on Trump White House after Bannon ouster Quote Joel Pollak, a senior editor-at-large at Breitbart, tweeted "#WAR," a reference to the site's early days and the mission statement of its founder, Andrew Breitbart. A person who recently spoke with Bannon told CNNMoney that the now-former White House chief strategist will not stay quiet on the sidelines. "It will be Bannon the barbarian," the person said. "He's not going to go out peacefully." Ahhh good stuff, now they're starting to eat their own 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAyMO Posted August 18, 2017 #16 Share Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) I can't take the credit for this quote - it was someone else on these forums: "the president who just gives and gives" my only fear is that Kelly may successfully pull the plug on this reality show of all reality shows.

How about straight from the horse's mouth? Quote “If there’s any confusion out there, let me clear it up: I’m leaving the White House and going to war for Trump against his opponents -- on Capitol Hill, in the media, and in corporate America,” Bannon told Bloomberg on Friday.

If Bannon talks bad about Trump to the media it will white-ant Trumps support while giving democrats and anti Trump republicans extra ammunition.
