President Trump has told senior aides that he has decided to remove Stephen K. Bannon, the embattled White House chief strategist who helped Mr. Trump win the 2016 election, according to two administration officials briefed on the discussion.
The president and senior White House officials were debating when and how to dismiss Mr. Bannon. The two administration officials cautioned that Mr. Trump is known to be averse to confrontation within his inner circle, and could decide to keep on Mr. Bannon for some time.
As of Friday morning, the two men were still discussing Mr. Bannon’s future, the officials said. A person close to Mr. Bannon insisted the parting of ways was his idea, and that he had submitted his resignation to the president on Aug. 7, to be announced at the start of this week, but it was delayed in the wake of the racial unrest in Charlottesville, Va.
Mr. Bannon had clashed for months with other senior West Wing advisers and members of the president’s family.
But the loss of Mr. Bannon, the right-wing nationalist who helped propel some of Mr. Trump’s campaign promises into policy reality, raises the potential for the president to face criticism from the conservative news media base that supported him over the past year.

Why lose his base? Is Bannon who they all voted for? Why did Bannon do that interview, was he TRYING to get fired?
Say good-bye to your country.
The globalists have taken over the Trump administration.
Bannon is not Trump but I hope this doesn’t indicated some sort of movement left...
Amen. McMasters is trouble.
If true, that would make Stephen Miller one of the few remaining WH staff who supports the issues that won the election for Trump.
Let me go look...
Saw it on Youtube from last night... Never mind I misread it and didn’t click on it. Dang. It’s McMaster who wants him fired.
“Trump is finished. He’s surrounded by Dems and Rinos.”
If Bannon goes, Trump has become an accessory to his own destruction.

Dr. Gorka is still there.
LS was listening to Bannon directly, and my feelings are that Bannon’s overconfidence was only matched by his apathy towards the real problems, despite the “I’m so focused on the agenda” propaganda.
Dang!
BIG MISTAKE.

Uh-huh, you know, like the ones in Charlottesville. These “journalists” just love manipulating the facts to direct people’s thought.
The husband DVRs “60 Minutes”. Occasionally, I watch it with him. A recent piece dealt with IT people who have been replaced in their jobs by foreigners — mostly from India — brought in on those special visas. Adding to the pain, the piece told us, was the fact that the American workers were required to train their replacements if they wanted to get their severance pay.
There were subtle attempts at pegging this problem on the Trump administration, but, then, the part that made me start yelling at the TV was staring me in the face. At the beginning of a piece on “60 Minutes”, and at other times when the camera is back on the presenter, there is a type of title page in the frame with the presenter.
There on the title page was the name of the segment, “You’re Fired”, something that had not caught my eye initially. So, of course, average viewer is perhaps subconsciously associating the problem with Trump and the line that is often associated with Trump. I was outraged. The husband does not pick up on subtle stuff like this, so I sometimes think he thinks I am nuts.
Late at night...I misread it.

I’ll make a prediction though. I give McMaster better than 50% chance he’s gone by next Spring.
