>President Donald Trump has declared: "I am my own strategist." That would seem to bode poorly for his actual strategist, Steve Bannon.
>And Trump now appears to be publicly distancing himself.
>In an interview with The New York Post, the president said "I like Steve" and called his adviser "a good guy" — but one who wasn't really all that involved with his winning election campaign. He said his warring senior officials, including Bannon, must "straighten it out or I will." In a second interview with The Wall Street Journal, he dismissively called Bannon "a guy who works for me."
>The unusual public, lukewarm support from the boss has Bannon's friends and advisers worried he will soon be out of a job. But shedding Bannon would be no simple staff shake-up. More than any other member of Trump's orbit, the former media executive and radio host, known as a bare-knuckle political fighter, has a following all his own. He is viewed by many in the conservative core as the ideological backbone in a White House run by a president who boasts of his flexibility.
>"I think it's important to recognize the value of the base. It's important to recognize the base sees their advocate in Steve Bannon," said Michael Caputo, a former Trump campaign adviser who has known the president for decades.
>Bannon is not the only Trump official to find himself in the hot seat in a White House divided. Press Secretary Sean Spicer has also come under fire for comments he made about the Holocaust on Tuesday. Spicer has apologized repeatedly, including on Wednesday, and the White House hopes that controversy will pass.
>And Bannon's creation of an in-house think tank known as the Strategic Initiatives group has been marginalized. Some staff members initially hired for that project are now part of the Kushner-led Office of American Innovation.
>A sociopath and narcissist using and dropping someone when he doesn't need them anymore
Looks like Trump is a true politician after all.

Trumps largely Zionist team is a bad fit for Bannon. People like Sheldon Adelson are more valuable to Trump.

Sheldon and Donald don't get along that well. They never met before the campaign last summer despite both being in the casino business. The Mercer family (who owns Breitbart.com) has all the money Trump needs anyway, and they like having their man Bannon in the White House.

There is literally nothing wrong with this. Bannon should be content that he was valuable for something and breitbart fanboys like >>132086 should be glad we're not trying to deport them along with the communist spics.

While it's true that he would be better off without Bannon, he'll have a whole new set of problems with Kushner. Kushner wants him to act like a standard GOP Politician, which wouldn't play well to his base. If he tries to become centrist, neither the Democrats nor the Freedom Caucus will lift a finger to help him.
Basically, he's already been screwed. He can't work with the GOP, since they're in a Civil War, and even hinting at working with the Democrats will have him crucified. His idiot base elected him to punish Democrats, not work with them.
I like that globalists are trying to make "populist" and "nationalist" bad words

Bannon wants to tear down America and turn it into an ethnostate empire. He's said a couple of times that the only way to break the system is if things get shitty. Then people will rise up, kill the libtards and their pet minorities, and establish a nation based around economic ethno-nationalism.

which is why trump lost the popular vote by millions, even after the DNC had all their emails hacked and released to compromise the election, and half of sanders voters refused to vote for her, probably assuming she'd win anyway.
>>132506
America is about making money and doing whatever the fuck you want.
Breitbart, /pol/ memes and all those spooks will never come to be, every ounce of effort should go towards yourself. Ayn Rand not Stephen Bannon. OK? Get with the program.
> Then people will rise up, kill the libtards and their pet minorities
From a logical perspective, you are stating a group will rise up, kill another group, and the groups they support. This, of course, leads to the logic THAT group will also have a rise upping, be killed, and any group supporting them will also be killed.
In summary, your beliefs, and those in your group who hold similar beliefs, are all completely irrational, which is the entire point of the group in which you have placed yourself. Nobody put you there, but you chose to be put there by choosing irrationality over truth and reason.

And Happy Pegan Bunny day to you too.
