Donald Trump’s chief strategist Steve Bannon has left his post, US media reports
This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly. Please refresh the page for the fullest version.
 
And here I thought Barnum and Bailey’s closed up shop.
 
No details yet…tic tic tic. Is it trump tweet time yet.
 
Only half a year in and…National Security Adviser…GONE! Press Secretary…GONE! Chief of Staff…GONE! Communications Director…GONE!
Now Chief Strategist…GONE!
Of course the vocal Trump supporters on this forum who moved mountains and oceans to defend Bannon as a good choice half a year ago will come up with some spin to make Trump look good here.
Will he have anyone left from his original inner circle by midterms? That’s the real question now! People drop like flies around this man.
 
🙂

This makes me very happy. Let’s get Sessions out next and I may even be able to stomach the rest of Trump’s term.
 
While we are waiting, I hear Gone with the wind has been canned
 
Ok news is saying he was fired. He is off The Apprentice !

The knives have been out for Trump and his staffers ever since he won the election. The assaults on all of them from the press and the neocons have been unrelenting. The animosity toward an incoming president is unprecedented in our lifetimes. Would have to go all the way back to Lincoln to find an incoming president who was so widely detested. Some will say Obama, but the press and the neocons never treated Obama like they have been treating Trump.

Regarding Bannon himself, he said privately he thought he’d be gone in 8 months. So he’s just slightly ahead of that and I’m not surprised.

What a poor leader that he cannot, with the power of his office, set the agenda!
Effectively a third-party president without a party, Mr. Trump has faced extraordinary resistance from the media, the bureaucracy and even within the Republican Party. But the administration has committed too many unforced errors and deserves most of the blame for its failures. Far from making the transformative “deals” he promised voters, his only talent appears to be creating grotesque media frenzies — just as all his critics said.

It’s ok folks, we are getting rid of our pollies by unearthing their traitorous inherited dual citizenships…

The people that have left or been fired, most were picked by Trump. He called these people, good, very good, the best.

Bannon even played a pivotal role in getting president Trump elected.

The responsibility is on Trump. He’s picked his team and they turn on him. You have to question him for that

Wow. The White House is imploding and his supporters are pulling the victim card.

It’s like the mom who has the most disruptive kid in the whole school but claims that her lovely son would be better-behaved if the other kids weren’t so set against him.

No, ma’am. It is your son who doesn’t think the rules are for him! He has to use good manners and be respectful, just like everyone else. He has to do his own work, just like everyone else. He has to take responsibility for his own grades, just like everyone else. He is not going to get credit for work he has not done. He is not entitled to have people like him and he is not entitled to having things his own way. He has to work and play well with others before he gets to complain that no one wants to work or play with him.

When he starts doing work that is more substantial than announcing bullet points that he could have thought up in about 15 minutes, when he forms an intelligent course of action with the people in his adminstration before he shoots from the hip and makes some wild announcement that surprises them just as much as it does anyone else, when he figures out what message he has other than “adore me” and starts sticking to it, when he quits with the unnecessary personal attacks even on people in his own party, and he (heaven help us) learns what a real apology is and how making one is not degrading but mature, then we’ll talk about how unfair everyone is being to him.

Wait until they get on the interview circuit. The money comes in handy, when you’re freshly out of a job.

This administration cannot get more bizarre.

You’re mistaken. It was Bannon who was fired, not the new press secretary. She stays.

This was the episode of Surivivor: White House that viewers could totally see coming. Not as easy to see as the Scaramucci firing after he called up a reporter on his own volition and went on that bizarre tirade, but not hard to see, either.

Watching Gen. Kelly cross his arms and stare a hole in the floor while Mr. Trump was making the off-the-cuff Charlottesville double-down statement instead of sticking to his infrastructure remarks definitely had the feeling of a foreshadowing. You have to wonder what is going to happen there.

Nobody at the White House does the Nancy Reagan my-hero-don’t-you-just-have-to-adore-him gaze, not even Ivanka. Mrs Reagan was an accomplished actress, though, and she had a opening-credits part. Big difference.

I have to agree with your previous post about the child 110%. I get it, Trump has probably received some bad publicity but man, a lot of the bad things is due to what he’s done.

I also agree, the victim card is getting old, used by his supporters
 
Again, I think it is important that the title of the thread match the title of the article.
