According to the NY Times and confirmed by Fox News’ John Roberts, President Trump has decided that Steve Bannon is gone. The White House chief strategist who helped Mr. Trump win the 2016 election has been rumored as gone for almost as long as the Donald Trump has been president.
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,
