It is reported that the problem was that Bannon was not getting along with General Kelly. Something had to give.
It was reported on Jay Sekulow that Bannon resigned, which I could easily see being the case.
He’s a good guy and he could see that he had become such a distraction for the President that he just graciously bowed out.
By the way, as a conservative, I don’t support Donald Trump because he had Steve Bannon in the White House.
I support Donald Trump because he carries out a conservative agenda, and that will continue as long as he carries out a conservative agenda.
Drudge would not go full siren unless he thinks this is for real. But consider that the article is, yet again, a pile of steaming anonymous sources. The article does not even claim Bannon will be gone soon, says he might stay on in some capacity for awhile. So what really is the point of any of this? When he’s actually gone, he’ll actually be gone. Until then, this is just more fuel for “Trump is doomed” hand-wringing. Personally, I think (a) Bannon is great (even though I disagree with some of his positions such as about tax increases); (b) Bannon and Breitbart played a significant role in Trump’s victory and for that I am grateful; and (c) Bannon can probably do just as much or more good from back at his perch at Breitbart than he can from inside the WH (heck, if he goes back to the morning Sirius radio show, DJT can listen to him unfiltered every morning).
This was a stupid thing to do. With all the people who have betrayed him, Bannon was a good guy. Bannon is not a racist - see interview he just gave. He’s going to surround himself with interventionists and globalists like McMaster.
Generals are good for war but for politics....not so great. This is probably not going to be a good thing as that leaves the Kushner’s political leanings pushing the agenda without counter. Having said that I think Brannon probably did this to himself with leaks to Cernovich.
“Bannon Out”—Trump just cut his right arm off.
If this is true, I am beyond disgusted.
JaVanka is now in charge.
If true Trump could not have picked a worse possible time. The base is in a rage over being called “White Supremacist” by the Media, and if Trump did fire him, its a conformation to the press, “you know, you may be right”. Worse timing ever.
How I wish those here on FR would not give
the liberal media points by quoting them
here on FR.. get your news elsewhere.
OANN!!

Steve Bannon out of White House, Submitted Resignation August 7
Well at least Trump still has his son in law who knows how to smirk and invest in real estate and his daughter who knows totally about fashion.
Well...this should give those ‘Jared Kushner is the anti-Christ’ theories a much needed shot in the arm. :-)
I’ll wait and see. I also voted for Trump, not Bannon.
obviously fake “news” unless otherwise proven true
The least the president could have done was wait to announce this at 4:40 Eastern so all the scummy “journalist” in Fake News would have to work late.
Regardless of what anyone here thinks of The Daily Wire, or Shapiro... I do think there is, at the very least, a reasonable expectation that this is where Bannon takes this.

“Bannon is deeply vengeful, and supremely ambitious. He has already held the most powerful job he will ever have — unless, of course, his new job is to destroy Trump from the outside. And he set the groundwork for that job over the past week.”
Then I’m out too.
Hasta la Vista, Trumpy.
The Deep State / Javanka have won.
F Drudge.
He’ll never get another hit from me.
