Meaning Trump is the one that needs to be fired.

As long as they get Trump eventually, I'll be satisfied. I just hope it happens quickly.

Gorka and Miller need to go, as well. But PINO Trump relies on all of them to reinforce his own bigotry and ignorance. If he actually does fire them, I will be very surprised.

I had heard Count Gorkula was on his way out weeks ago. They are, in a way, good cover for Trump's racism. When he doesn't speak out, they blame Bannon, not Trump.

He might even be correct, but what he doesn't know is that Bannon helped him win. Trump does everything by himself because he is that good.

They'll still be communicating all the time, imo. Bannon has been too important to Trump's campaign and administration's strategy. So I can see them teleconferencing etc very often.

is that there is a war in the WH between the Jared/Ivanka faction and the Bannon faction. Breitbart considers Jared and Ivanka to be "liberals" who are trying to defeat the Bannon faction. In Congress, conservatives like Mark Meadow want SCROTUS to keep Bannon as a link to the base. Rupert Murdoch wants Bannon fired.

If he fires Bannon, who does he replace him with?

Right now, I'd bet a few bucks on not happening. Only a few though.

Should it happen, Miller will take his place and Bannon will pass his orders through him.

His goal was destabilization. Pretty impressive job he has done.

They make trump look even worse than he is by giving him bad advice. They all belong together, but preferably in Hell.

...Bannon is the one who advised Dump on the first lackluster response whereas Jared advised the more forceful second one. Dump went with Bannon and its blow up in his face. PINO doesn't like to look bad.
