On Friday, Drudge Report scooped The New York Times and reported that White House chief
strategist Steve Bannon, who also served as Trump’s chief campaign strategist in the latter months
of the campaign, is out at the White House. According to the Times, Bannon submitted his resignation
to Trump on August 7, but the announcement of his ouster was delayed until today thanks to the
events in Charlottesville. Bannon claims that he’s leaving voluntarily; Trump’s aides insist he’s being
fired. It doesn’t really matter much — Trump obviously sidelined Bannon in favor of a wide variety
of characters ranging from Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump to HR McMaster and John Kelly.
Bannon’s influence had waned.

But Bannon still had his connections to the Mercer family, Trump’s top funders, and so Trump couldn’t
overtly dump him. It would make sense that Bannon finally got tired of being a marginal player and
wanted out.

That also makes sense of Bannon’s behavior over the last week: he’s preparing for the possibility of
war with Trump.

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 . . .

. . . I said one year ago that Bannon understands that in the game of thrones, you win or die; he
doesn’t intend to die. Now that he’s been beheaded by Trump, look for him to try to become the
Night King, leaving destruction in his wake.
