Inside the rise and fall of Steve Bannon

In the end, it was Steve Bannon’s ego that did him in.

On Friday, ending weeks of speculation, chief of staff John Kelly fired the president’s chief strategist — the rumpled, populist firebrand who helped the unlikeliest candidate storm his way to the presidency. Bannon, who proved a perfect partner for Trump during the campaign, struggled from the beginning to function within the confines of the West Wing.

Trump, however, was notably silent on the matter. Hours after Sanders announced the news, he had still not tweeted about his onetime top strategist who had helped him secure the White House.

Still, Bannon appeared to be in denial about his ouster. Although a senior administration official said Bannon submitted his resignation on Aug. 7, the strategist was still shrugging off stories of his looming ouster over the past 10 days, calling them “bullshit,” according to people who have spoken to Bannon.

Bannon, the bomb-thrower who took his anti-globalist worldview from fringe documentaries to Breitbart News and finally to the White House, outlasted former RNC chairman and chief of staff Reince Priebus. But he made it less than a month in the new order instilled under Kelly.

Kelly didn't understand what Bannon did, why he had a PR portfolio, why he seemed to cause so much trouble with colleagues and why he was so widely disliked. He asked many questions about Bannon in his early days at the White House and found widespread disdain.

"No one liked him,” senior White House official said. "People didn't know what he did other than stab his colleagues in the back."

Speaking on Bannon's position in the Kelly era earlier this week, Trump ally and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said in an interview: "I think that depends on how well Mr. Bannon learns how to salute."

It's not shocking that all these crazy batshit lunatics that think they know how to run a country often get into these positions and all they can do is blame everyone else, stab people in the back, and in general, completely lack the ability to get anything done.

Pop that corn boys

@gabrielsherman: Bannon friend says Breitbart ramping up for war against Trump. "It's now a Democrat White House," source says.

Aide: Mr. President, the most recent polls show that 60% of the people who voted for you would remain loyal "no matter what."

Trump: Hold my beer.

Something isn't good with his genes. I saw Guided By Voices on Wednesday, Bob Pollard is 63 (same as Bannon), drinks every day (same as Bannon), and is still kicking (literally).

[Raven117]

Lol yep, dude went to Harvard and was a Naval Officer too.

With a very blue collar background with his family.

He is a complex figure. Never could quite figure out his end-game. He always seemed to be playing at a bigger deeper game.

He was/is an interesting figure.

The first he ever heard of it was when they quit.

Otherwise he'd have made a big show of doing it early on.

Soon(ish):

"The president decided months ago that it was best to part ways with the white house and resign. It was his plan for quite some time. He will focus on spending more time with his family and handling his business."
