Steve Bannon

I don't know when Bannon is going to get fired but months ago he was telling associates that he probably wouldn't make it for a full year. Now less extreme elements inside the Trumpist Regime are pushing him out.

1. Emotional volatility
Most would agree that Trump is a highly emotional personality, some might say an unstable one. Either way, many of his supporters believed he was wise enough to avoid impulsive action of any kind that would threaten the safety and security of America and beyond. It was after all his strong anti-war rhetoric that won him many supporters across the globe.

It is becoming increasingly self-evident that Steve Bannon’s opposition to Donald Trump’s unprovoked attack on Syria was the proximate cause for  his removal from his position observing the National Security Council. His disagreements and personally poor relationship with Ivanka Trump’s husband Jared Kushner also certainly played a role.

Earlier today we looked at the blossoming civil war inside the White House. It's very much related to nothing much getting done-- and there is no issue besides repeal and replace where there is as much finger-pointing and fury. Trump may not care what's in the bill, but he certainly wants a "win." He blames different people daily, although Ryan and the Freedom Caucus seem get the bulk of it on various days.

In what amounted to a 59-Tomahawk middle-of-the-night “tweet,” an impulsive President Trump reacted emotionally, not rationally, in attacking Syria, says ex-British diplomat Alastair Crooke.

Steve Bannon’s demotion and deletion from his seat observing meetings of the National Security Council, came a day prior to America’s illegal bombing of Syria.
Bannon was well known for his conservative views which were deeply anti-establishment, anti-deep state, mildly pro-Russian and totally anti-Salifist and anti-Saudi.
The timing of Bannon’s demotion and the missile strikes on Syria is unlikely to be coincidental. It is certainly symbolic.
The man who helped define the now dead Trump movement, was moved over whilst the neo-cons and deep state veterans remain.

Supposedly it was a "him or me" moment for National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster.

A surprise from the financial disclosure forms of the Trump White House was how many of the players got rich from working in the right-wing world of anti-government activism, says Michael Winship. By Michael Winship Some of the latest hooey…Read more →

Three years ago, Syria was declared free of chemical weapons under an agreement proposed by Russia which forestalled an expected attack on Syria led by the United States.
This came after a massive propaganda campaign in western media alleging a devastating sarin gas attack near Ghouta, Syria, which is reported to have killed thousands. The attack was blamed on Syrian president Assad, with the small amount of substantiating evidence provided by Israel.

Tomorrow Donald Trump will host his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping at Mar-A-Lago. Today it was announced that Trump’s Presidential adviser Steve Bannon will no longer have a seat on the National Security Council.
Are these two stories related? They may be.
