Steve Bannon is trying to get Trump to fire him. Publicly.

[Saboburns]

Its the only way to explain his actions this week. He runs a large media site, the man knew his words would be front page news. Thats why he did what he did.

And there can only be one reason why Steve Bannon wants Donald Trump to publicly fire him. Because Steve Bannon knows as sure as shit that Donald Trump will not make it much longer as POTUS. Bannon is itching for a public fued with Donnie Two Scoops so that when Trump goes down, which is looking sooner rather than later, Bannon can return triumphantly back to Breitbart and darling of Alt Righters everywhere. He will say, "See, Donald Trump did not listen to me and look what happened to him."

Steve Bannon is dying to get fired by Donald Trump. Steve Bannon sees where all this is heading, and is trying like hell to damage control his reputation.

1. Definitely an interesting theory

He can't quit because Twitler would eviscerate him. He can't stay because he will get caught up in a whole lot of ugly shit headed Twitler's way. His only face saving out is getting fired. If Twitler realizes that he'll never do it. He'll keep him around just to kick him every once in a while.

2. I wondered about that, too.

Bannon might think he can do more in an online forum. Maybe he isn't feeling the power like he thought he would.

Maybe if he leaves the WH, it is his and Trump's way of attacking from all sides.

3. Could be, makes as much sense as anything the nazi does.

He wants to destroy the US government and is on record to do that and makes no bones about it.

So sure, why not.

4. That's s very cynical appraisal...

but, sadly, very valid; because, we're dealing with an administration lacking a conscience.

5. I don't buy that

even if trumps presidency goes down, they will still have alt right supporters

6. An enemy will try to deceive you

It's a ruse, that's what he wants people to think.
He sure as hell doesn't give a fuck about saving face or his reputation

7. Interesting theory.

Trump fires Bannon. Trump goes down. Bannon is more powerful than ever as a voice for the alt-right.
