President Donald Trump’s chief strategist Steve Bannon is out at the White House, two administration officials told CNN on Friday.

The President has privately stewed over Bannon in recent days, including Thursday night from his golf course in New Jersey. He was furious with his chief strategist after he was quoted in an interview with the American Prospect contradicting him on North Korea and asserting that he was able to make personnel changes at the State Department.

He did not travel with the President during the first week of what White House officials described as a “working vacation” at Trump’s golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey. Instead Bannon remained in Washington to work out of a temporary office in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.

Bannon grew up in Richmond and is a graduate of Benedictine High School.....

It is possible that Bannon should have done more direct advising (even just whispering in Trump’s ear) and less publicly pronouncing and throwing his weight around.

The media controls the narrative. We have the House, the Senate, and the White House.

And the propaganda machine (media) of the Democratic Party has ALL the power.

The people don’t matter. The media is all that matters.

Not good if true. The swamp is trying to separate Trump from the people that he can trust and who will advise him wisely. this is a big win for the Left, and they'll now move on to Miller and Gorka (again, if true).

… two administration officials told CNN on Friday …
Say, “two administration officials” apparently talked to the NY Slimes as well. Name these two!

It’s being reported on by dozens and dozens of sources. I doubt that they’re all fake.

Not a great sign. Bannon was one of the folks I was hoping would help this administration stay on message with building the Wall. This leaves people who don't seem to be on board with many of Trump's campaign promises in charge.

Still, I'll wait to see results - I don't care how many eggs get broken as long as the omelet gets made.

Wouldn’t it be ironic that, when Antifa brings the hemp and pitchforks to the White House the only people to get in their way will be those Nazi Alt right guys?

I believe that. Nobody who intended to keep working for Donald Trump would have given that interview. It sounded to me as if he'd already decided to leave when I heard about it, and said so on previous threads.

They won’t defend the White House if they really are national socialists.

indeed, the media is not the propagand arm of the Democrat Party,

the Democrat Party is merely the political arm of the Media.
