I suspect that in some ways Donald Trump would love nothing more than to fire Steve Bannon. Even the most loathsome racists in the GOP are calling for it, to save face of course, nothing more. But they’re calling for it.
“I think it’s important for the president to fire Steve Bannon. He should go,” King said in an interview with WABC…
King said Bannon was “exploiting the racial issue. That can’t be allowed.”
King, a member of the Homeland Security Committee, also said Bannon was “undercutting the president” on Noth Korea by claiming in the same interview that “there’s no military solution” to dictator Kim Jong-Un’s nuclear threats.
“To me, his time in the White House should be over,” King said.
I very much suspect however that Trump can no more fire Steve Bannon than he can publicly criticize Vlad Putin.
They know far too many of Trump’s impeachable secrets and their only loyalties are to themselves and to punishing anyone who betrays them and their NeoNazi movements.
Trump can’t be an effective president with Bannon by his side. But I suspect he can’t be president at all if he cuts him loose.
This all seems to be coming to a head. Something’s gotta give, one way or the other.
Ironically, we may see Trump resign before firing Bannon and freeing him to dish on all of Trump’s dirty laundry.
