Another one bites the dust.

[Former] Chief Strategist Steve Bannon is no longer serving in the White House.

What Happened?

Prior to Bannon’s termination, sources affirm that he had the option of quitting. Obviously, he did not exercise this option which engendered his dismissal.

Further reports cite Bannon’s termination as an offshoot of him contradicting President Trump on several occasions. The first strike was Bannon’s public rebuttal of the President regarding North Korea. According to the New York Times, President Trump believed Bannon to be secretly revealing classified information to the press and wrongly accrediting himself for the former’s accomplishments in office.

In addition to the aforementioned occurrences, Bannon did not help his cause by frequently butting heads with other White House staff. He reportedly disagreed with many of his associates [such as Jared Kushner, Reince Priebus, Gary Cohn, etc] on matters pertaining to foreign policy, tax reform, and more. Before long, many people implored Bannon to resign from his post.
