Bannon Is Out

President Trump “has told senior aides that he has decided to remove Stephen Bannon, the embattled White House chief strategist who helped Mr. Trump win the 2016 election,” the New York Times reports.

“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.”

Washington Post: “Bannon had been expecting to be cut loose from the White House, people close to him said, with one of explaining that Bannon was resigned to that fate and is determined to continue to advocate for Trump’s agenda on the outside.”
