The rise and fall of Steve Bannon

From Politico, Josh Dawsey, Annie Karni, and Matthew Nussbaum go inside the rise and fall of Steve Bannon; and why Bannon lost and the globalists won: He talked a big game — but he got outmaneuvered and outsmarted by his enemies at nearly every turn. Bannon was set for a graceful exit — then came Charlottesville. Brain AWOL: On the end — and endurance — of the Bannon era (and more). Steve Bannon believed in Trumpism — Donald Trump doesn’t (and more and more and more). Bannon: “Trump presidency that we fought for, and won, is over” (and more). With Bannon out, will Breitbart News go to war with the Trump administration? Bannon is “going nuclear”.

Cancel your Steve Bannon victory dance. Bannon’s banishment changes nothing. Don’t celebrate Steve Bannon’s war on Trump. Bannon could be more dangerous outside than inside the White House (and more and more). Firing Bannon makes no political sense for Trump — assume the worst.
