President Trump has told senior aides that he has decided to remove Stephen K. Bannon, the embattled White House chief strategist who helped Mr. Trump win the 2016 election, according to two administration officials briefed on the discussion.
The president and senior White House officials were debating when and how to dismiss Mr. Bannon. The two administration officials cautioned that Mr. Trump is known to be averse to confrontation within his inner circle, and could decide to keep on Mr. Bannon for some time.

This is an INCREDIBLY stupid move by Trump. The one thing Trump cannot afford to do is alienate his base.
You think he gives a rat’s red ass who he alienates? You haven’t been paying attention the last 20 years or so, have you?
He got what (he thought) he wanted, and as far as he cares, you and the rest of “the base” can go fuck off.
And I can’t think of anything more surely guaranteed to alienate his base than dumping Bannon.

No it wasn’t. It was the kind of ride where your gondola breaks loose and throws you 75 feet down the Midway.

If true, Trump is is cutting his own legs out from under himself.

‘That f***ing Steve Bannon [is] taking credit for my election,’ Trump recently told a confidant, according to the left-leaning Buzzfeed website.
I don’t believe that quote for one second.

Of course you don’t. It’s well known that dissing The Darnold in interviews is a fast lane to his smiling approval.

Now that was really stupid of President Trump to fire one of your most loyal staff members when you still have far too many rats running through our White House and agovernment agencies.

Well, I am done with Trump now. Bannon was the main reason I supported Trump. The administration is over as far as I am concerned. Going forward I will neither support nor pray for Trump.
