I like Bannon but he is better on the outside where he will be truly unshackled against the left. He will continue his support for President Trump.
I’m sick about this. If Miller or Gorka goes then that will be a death knell of this presidency. I would love to eat crow on this.
What a cluster this country is becoming.
My take is Trump would fire this man, he had to convince him to accept his resignation.

“Controversial impulses?” Is it controversial to do what the Preamble of the Constitution—that some of us have sworn to preserve & defend—clearly requires: To put America & her posterity, “First.” That should be the least “controversial” thing, any President could do.

Libs picking them off one at a time. Who will they go after next?
My optimism in these next 3.5 yrs. is in a precipitous slide.
Make that free-fall.
Who will the liberal media pick next to lie about, and push for their resignation?
This is the wrong direction.
ugh.
Bannon can now return to Breitbart where he can drive the libs crazy.
