Bannon's Uncertain Future

Two senior Trump advisers -- one inside the White House and another who recently departed -- signaled Sunday that the knives are out for Steve Bannon, President Donald Trump's controversial chief strategist.

The comments come as a source inside the White House tells CNN that White House chief of staff John Kelly has soured on Bannon, a political operative with deep ties to the 'alt-right' and the former head of the conservative news site Breitbart.

Good to see General Kelly's name mentioned. I was beginning to wonder if he'd been disappeared.

A second source told CNN on Saturday that it's not only Kelly and Bannon whose relationship is on the rocks, it is also Bannon and the President.

[...]

His job was on the line in April, according to a source close to the White House, after Trump grew frustrated with his inability to cooperate and work with others. The chilling came as Bannon fought with Jared Kushner, a top Trump aide and the President's son-in-law.

In fact, unless I'm misremembering, Bannon did get ousted at one point - perhaps that was during the campaign. I'm too lazy to look it up. So, caveat lector.

Surely no one thinks The Rump will behave or become any better if Bannon isn't there. The Rump is The Rump.

Are we sure he isn't syphilitic?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
