Another Trump ally gets the ax.
Ever since John Kelly came on as Chief of Staff, the story has been that Bannon was hanging by a thread. The two were seen as virtually incompatible in their ways of doing things.
The word has been going around for a long time that Bannon was a big source of leaks. He didn't leak randomly, but strategically to undermine his adversaries in the administration.
Other administration leaks have said that Trump has been furious that Bannon is getting too much credit for engineering the election win.
Then he did an interview a few days ago where he directly contradicted Trump directly, most notably on China policy. Bannon said he thought the interview was off the record, but reporters say there's no chance of that, because Bannon is extremely media-savvy.
--------------------------
So what's next for Bannon? He has already gone back to running Breitbart. From that platform, he can do a lot of damage. It looks like that's his intention, because he said now he's "going to war".
Another former editor of Breitbart, Ben Shapiro, said he expects Bannon to eventually turn on Trump because Bannon is a very vengeful person.
Bannon loves tearing things down, even more than Trump. Bannon's tendency toward scorched earth is one of the reasons people didn't like him.
I expect he will jump right into the Confederate monument controversy and try to incite violence.

Bannon swears he will continue to support Trump in all ways. Will be interesting to watch. Maybe the White House will start to function again.
