President Donald Trump on Saturday thanked Steve Bannon for his "service," a day after ousting him as the White House chief strategist.

"I want to thank Steve Bannon for his service. He came to the campaign during my run against Crooked Hillary Clinton - it was great! Thanks S," Trump tweeted.

Trump had been silent about Bannon, his former campaign CEO, in the hours after chief of staff John Kelly formally fired him.

Bannon, a populist firebrand, had grown increasingly isolated in the West Wing and Trump had grown tired of his behavior and tactics.

1. "Please don't sic your crazies on me or my family"

2. Bannon should thank taxpayers

for the free ride he has had. Flying in AF I, private jets, luxury accomodations. Yeah, he needs to thank us for letting him live in style, not even taking showers on a regular basis. Hey, tRump better quit saying "crooked Hillary" She is not the one with a laundry list of criminal offences filed against her. Not a single bankruptcy, imagine that if you can. She would have been a much better president than you could EVER be, asshole.

3. My newspaper has an article from the NYT

It says" Trump had recently grown weary of bannon, complaining to other advisors that he believed his chief strategist had been leaking information to reporters".

"And was TAKING TOO MUCH CREDIT FOR THE PRESIDENTS SUCCESSES"!!!!

What flippin successes?, I don't remember any "successes", did I miss something?.

We are truly in bizzaro world.

6. The success of winning the nomination

And the general.

[Scarsdale]

7. The success of

having larger crowds at his inauguration, rallies, speeches, bill signings!!! Who are the people making up these "good news" folders for the orange shitgibbon twice daily? Where do they find good photos of the bloated repulsive person, plus good news clipping?

8. The article said "Successes", plural...

And I don't remember any, but then I'm just being sarcastic you know.

4. Bannon never serviced Trump. He's a Self-Service kind of guy.

[oberliner]

5. He makes a point to say that Bannon came into his campaign after the primary

Just in case anyone is unclear who gets credit for Trump winning the nomination.

9. ON BEHALF OF THE PRESIDENT -

we'd like to say to Flynn, Pribus, Spicer, Scarimucci, and Bannon...

[NotASurfer]

10. I think Scarimucci referred to it as self-service, so to speak? n/t

And Bannon too said - you can't fire me, 'cause I already resigned - It would be interesting to see his alleged resignation letter from a few days ago.
