How
ironic that the “fascist”, bannon,should be trying to dissuade
Trump from waging war on Syria!
Has
Steve Bannon turned against Trump?
Steve
Bannon's former media outlet, Breitbart has lead with a story
featuring Michael Savage, a man who used to support Trump but has
become fiercely critical of his foreign policy

It
is becoming increasingly self-evident that Steve Bannon’s
opposition to Donald Trump’s unprovoked attack on Syria was the
proximate cause for his
removal from
his position observing the National Security Council. His
disagreements and personally poor relationship with Ivanka Trump’s
husband Jared Kushner also certainly played a role.
Bannon
has not given any public statements since his demotion from his
National Security Council role. However, a story run by Breitbart
news may hold the key.
Breitbart
was quite possibly the most pro-Trump media outlet in the United
States both during the campaign and into the Trump Presidency.
Today
though, Breitbart ran a font page story by Breitbart editor Colin
Madine, detailing Michael Savage’s scathing critique of Trump’s
new foreign policy.
Savage
who is unaffiliated with Breitbart, hosts a highly popular
conservative radio show where he interviewed candidate Trump.
Savage
was a deeply important Trump supporter, but since Trump’s missile
launch against Syria, the support has turned into criticism bordering
on disdain and audible disappointment.
“…the generals have gotten to him and turned him from peace with Russia. And the people standing in the way of war, like Steve Bannon, are being shown the door”.
Here
Savage praises Bannon’s anti-war conservative credentials while
bashing Trump. The subtext is clear: Bannon=good/Trump=a man who has
fallen.
It
would be folly to assume that just because Bannon no longer has a
formal role at Breitbart that his ethos and his personal contacts do
not still influence the outlet’s editorial policy.
If
there is any ostensible gateway into Bannon’s thoughts at this
moment, Breitbart is the key and their lead story was a piece from a
former avid Trump supporter who now believes that Bannon was right
and Trump is wrong.
I
wouldn’t be surprised if in the next weeks Bannon resigns totally
from his position in the White House. I would be equally unsurprised
if when he does, Michael Savage’s Savage
Nation radio
show, is the first interview Bannon gives.
