Several questions about Bannon after watching MSNBC and CNN

Will he flip on 45?
How did the Murdoch's play a role in this and will Breitbart challenge Fux News?
If the floor of the stock exchange cheered when they heard the news, will it go back up after days of losses?

He's not happy about being ousted, but he's not going to suddenly start ordering hit piece's about Trump for Breitbart. He's going to use Breitbart as a tool to help try to remove people in the White House that Bannon believes is hoping back the far right agenda. And he can do that a lot more easily now that he's outside the white house and doesn't have anyone to respond to.

in the first place. If he goes on a self pitying bender and blames them for his unemployment, maybe. If he doesn't, then no.

Breitbart would love to challenge Pox but while they have a lot of readers crossing over, many of them are voyeurs and Breitbart is still considered too fringe. It's also funded by the Mercers, and while they'd love to challenge Pox News, they'll settle for trying to make their viewers crazier.

The market is down largely because the dollar, which has dropped 10% since January, has rallied and market analysts overseas think the rally is over, so they're selling and taking profits while the dollar is higher. They'll buy everything back when the air goes out of the buck again. In the meantime, I'm glad even the guys on the trading floor of the NYSE have noticed what a clusterfuck is in the White House.

That the website will start producing stories critical of people in the White House, but for now, nothing directly critical of Trump. He also basically said that Bannon has a lot of rage, but it won't be directed at Trump because he's still looking at Trump to help him push his populist views.

Basically, what I said earlier. He's not going to go after Trump, but rather the people around Trump that Bannon believes are holding him back from moving further right.
