http://www.rawstory.com/2017/08/bannons-revenge-breitbart-reportedly-ramping-up-for-thermonuclear-war-against-against-trump/
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 Trumps campaign for president.
However, it looks like Bannon wont be giving Trump the same cushy treatment that he received during last years campaign against Hillary Clinton.
One of Bannons friends tells reporter Gabriel Sherman that Breitbart is ramping up for war against Trump in the wake of Bannons ouster.
Its now a Democrat White House, the friend tells Sherman, likely a reference to Bannons 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.

(32,731 posts)As others have pointed out, it could just be a ploy (with Bannon still advising Dump from the sidelines --assuming he's OK with working for free, lol).

(6,377 posts)Bannon will return to Breitbart and try to use it to push people like Jared and Ivanka out, people he see's as holding back the administration. He's going to try to use Breitbart to negate the moderate voices talking to Trump and push him further right.

(972 posts)If I was a betting man I would bet that you will see Breitbart step up attacks on McMasters, Kelly, McCabe and the like.
I'd love to be wrong though.

(10,048 posts)Trump, his family, and the GOP get to continue their consolidation of wealth and natural resources, while Bannon gets his desired deconstruction of the administrative state.
If Bannon truly tendered his resignation on August 7th, this may have been the plan from the very beginning.
