SHAKEUP IN THE WHITE HOUSE: Steve Bannon is OUT — [UPDATE:TWO WEEKS AGO!]

by The Right Scoop

Drudge is claiming with a huge siren right now that Bannon is out at the White House.

But he’s not linking to anything substantiating his claim. He only writes this:

SENIOR ADVISOR MOVING ON AFTER IMPRESSIVE RUN, THE DRUDGE REPORT HAS LEARNED…
POPULIST HERO MAY RETURN TO BREITBART…

However, according to the NY Times, Trump has told his aides that he’s dumping Bannon:

President Trump has told senior aides that he has decided to remove Stephen K. Bannon, the embattled White House chief strategist who helped Mr. Trump win the 2016 election, according to two administration officials briefed on the discussion.

The president and senior White House officials were debating when and how to dismiss Mr. Bannon. The two administration officials cautioned that Mr. Trump is known to be averse to confrontation within his inner circle, and could decide to keep on Mr. Bannon for some time.

As of Friday morning, the two men were still discussing Mr. Bannon’s future, the officials said. A person close to Mr. Bannon insisted the parting of ways was his idea, and that he had submitted his resignation to the president on Aug. 7, to be announced at the start of this week, but it was delayed in the wake of the racial unrest in Charlottesville, Va.

Mr. Bannon had clashed for months with other senior West Wing advisers and members of the president’s family.

But the loss of Mr. Bannon, the right-wing nationalist who helped propel some of Mr. Trump’s campaign promises into policy reality, raises the potential for the president to face criticism from the conservative news media base that supported him over the past year.

Even Roger Stone wrote an article today that said Bannon needs to go.

So there it is. Bannon is just another in a growing list of high profile people who were forced out of the Trump administration.

UPDATE: Two weeks ago!

UPDATE:

Here’s a list of everyone that’s been forced out:
