Bannon fired at long, long last
Team Pepe cries a river
The hobo shitlord leaves his job
To spend more time with his liver
Now that former White House political strategist Steve Bannon is out of a job, many reports are claiming that he is planning a return to Breitbart News, the nationalist website he used in 2016 to promote Donald Trump’s campaign for president.
However, it looks like Bannon won’t be giving Trump the same cushy treatment that he received during last year’s campaign against Hillary Clinton.
One of Bannon’s friends tells reporter Gabriel Sherman that Breitbart is “ramping up for war against Trump” in the wake of Bannon’s ouster.
“It’s now a Democrat White House,” the friend tells Sherman, likely a reference to Bannon’s belief that First Daughter Ivanka Trump, along with key advisers such as Jared Kushner and Gary Cohn, are New York liberals who are disconnected from the nationalist message that Trump used to win the 2016 election.
Bannon friend says Breitbart ramping up for war against Trump. "It's now a Democrat White House," source says.

Similarly, a source close to Breitbart News tells Axios’ Jonathan Swan that the news website plans to “go ‘thermonuclear’ against ‘globalists’ that Bannon and his friends believe are ruining the Trump administration, and by extension, America.”
As if to confirm the reports, Breitbart editor Joel Pollak simply tweeted “#WAR” in response to news of Bannon’s ouster.
If Breitbart were to really launch a war against Trump, it would leave the White House with few reliable media allies apart from top Fox News personalities.
The globalists win? Trumpo gets pulled in line
Maybe Bannon just doubled the value of his brand.
Maybe the term "economic nationalism" will now become popular as a way to distinguish "new right" protectionism etc from "alt right" racism. I can see a scenario where this plays pretty well in 2018 or 2020.
