Report: Steve Bannon Could Be Out By The End Of The Week

So before I start, let me tell you that this report is coming from CBS, so of course it should be taken with a grain of salt.

Either way, y’all should be aware of it, because the rumblings are getting louder….

The report reads:

The next White House staff shake-up could leave Steve Bannon on the outside.

 

Sources told CBS News President Trump’s chief political strategist may soon be gone.

 

The former executive chairman of Breitbart News helped Mr. Trump win the presidency, but his future is at risk because the president’s new chief of staff is working to restore order in the West Wing.

 

Several high-placed sources inside and outside the White House told CBS News that Bannon has never been in more jeopardy, and one well-placed source said he could be gone by the end of this week, CBS News chief White House correspondent Major Garrett reports.

The report goes on to detail the issues Bannon has had with other members of Trump’s team, including Jared Kushner, and H.R. McMaster.

The new chief of staff at the White House, retired four-star Marine Gen. John Kelly, is trying to eliminate that kind of open, factional warfare within the White House, and he has also tried to strengthen McMaster’s position within the White House.

As many of you will remember, this is not the first time there have been rumors of Bannon being on the outs. Many were convinced he was done when it became public he and Kushner got into it regularly.

Daily Mail, reports a slightly different story:

On Tuesday Bannon’s closest associates at the White House denied that he’s on the outs, even as The New York Times reported that he’s been placed in a sort of ‘internal exile’ without any precious presidential face-time.

 

‘He never expected to be here forever. That much is true,’ one aide told DailyMail.com on Tuesday, reacting to the Times’ description of Bannon’s fading fortunes.

 

‘But it’s not like his people are opening packages of banker’s boxes’ to collect their things, the source cautioned.

 

A second White House aide said flatly: ‘Steve’s staying’ – but wouldn’t elaborate.

 

The dissenting views are an indication of how warring factions in the White House can put contradictory spin on power struggles.

Well, if they’re giving him until Friday, we’ll know soon enough.

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised.
