August 22, 2017When Steve Bannon was ousted from the White House late last week, many of us wondered what this would mean for Breitbart’s relationship with Trump.
Bannon announced his return to Breitbart a few days later, which raised concerns from many, as Bannon has received maximum security clearance and obviously knows A LOT about the inner workings of the Trump administration and matters of national security.
Last night, President Trump addressed the nation about his plans for Afghanistan.

“We will no longer use American military might to construct democracies in far-away land.” As in, no more nation-building with American soldiers.
In a move that many of us foresaw, Breitbart, under Bannon’s helm, came out SWINGING
Ousted White House chief strategist Steve Bannon promised a war, and he is delivering – so far, at least.
Bannon’s alt-right news site Breitbart accused President Donald Trump of a ‘flip-flop’ on his Afghanistan policy late Monday.
Since Trump came into office, Breitbart was steadfastly in the president’s corner as he pursued his nationalist and populist policies.
But the president’s decision to send more US soldiers to Afghanistan coupled with Bannon’s departure from the White House has led to a change in the tenor of coverage at Breitbart.
‘TRUMP REVERSES COURSE, WILL SEND MORE TROOPS TO AFGHANISTAN,’ the red-lettered headline on Breitbart read.
The unflattering coverage from Breitbart appears consistent with Bannon’s reported vow to ‘go to war’ with White House aides who he believes are sabotaging the president’s promises to his voters.
Indeed, one Breitbart article bore the headline: ‘His McMaster’s voice: Is Trump’s Afghanistan policy different from Obama?’
Even before Trump’s prime time televised address to the nation on Monday, Breitbart led its web site with an article critical of the president.
The article quoted the founder of the private mercenary army Blackwater.
‘Erik Prince: Trump will “roll over and accept” same failed strategy on Afghanistan,’ the headline read.
This is going to get messy, folks.
