STEVE BANNON: A NECESSARY SACRIFICIAL LAMB.

ICHEOKU says the president had no choice but to let Steve Bannon go and in order to hopefully rejig his governance towards getting his agenda back on the track. An agenda which has literally stalled with no clear meaningful movement and needed a reboot. Steve Bannon was becoming too much of a distraction with all the media focus on him which sort of took some of the shine on both the president and his government. The pressure was mounting and had remained resolute until the president yielded and allowed his top strategist to be eased out of the White House. 

A man viewed by many anti-Trump and Never-Trump hollering monkeys as a white nationalist, the ambassador/gate keeper of the movement inside the White House, especially after the mixed messaging that came out of the Charlottesville melee, had to be sacrificed on the alter of pleasing those blood hounds who has been calling for the head of the presidency himself. Whether this very big sacrifice, of such an awesome proportion, will placate and appease those nut-jobs and atone for all the imaginary sins of President Donald John Trump is left to be seen down the road. But Steve Bannon, the president's former chief strategist, is now gone and stands shoved out of the White House. He joins Reince Priebus, Sean Spicer, General Flynn and the many other now ex-staffers of President Trump's White House who have been let go. 

It would also appear that the previously fired, eleven-days only communication director of the White House, Anthony Scaramucci, finally had his way. with the departure of Steve Bannon. He was the catalyst which quickened the reaction of staff push out from the White House. He had fingered Steve Bannon and Reince Priebus as two senior staffers of the president who has no business being in the White House, claiming that they are not truly loyal to the president and are sabotaging the president's agenda and leaking classified information about the government to the media. First to go was Reince Priebus and now Steve Bannon follows suit, showing that Anthony Scaramucci eventually achieved his primary objective to rid the White House of both men, albeit retrospectively.  

ICHEOKU says the interview Steve Bannon gave to American Prospect magazine was indeed a killer, the last straw that finally broke his back and forced the president's hands,  and he acted on a nearly boiled over rage against Bannon. Similar to Anthony Scaramucci's own interview to the New Yorker magazine which led to his being let go, Steve Bannon's interview was indeed detrimental to the Trump's government policies, especially its ongoing stand off with North Korea over it nuclear weapon pursuit and ballistic missiles firing. No sane president would stand idly by and watch as his chief adviser creates a firestorm  between him and his military chiefs; people who are planning a massive "fire and fury and power" response against North Korea, while the same adviser is busily behind the scene, sabotaging the response by literary telling North Korean Kim Jung Un to ignore the president's threats as it is merely hot air. 

ICHEOKU will not take it and is glad that the president saw it the same way and found it unacceptable. You don't go rogue against a president or anyone for that matter, in whose service you are engaged in. You go 'lock and step' with the person, fanatically defending whatever policy objective he marshaled out, regardless; or in the alternative, you resign your appointment and your office let another loyal staffer take. But to allow such a rascally conduct will amount to permitting two captains on the same ship and it can only spell disaster. Therefore, President Donald John Trump acted wisely and in the best interest of his government when he fired Steve Bannon in order to send a message that his government's policy towards North Korea is solid and that there is no equivocation nor divisions within his government on the decision to decisively deal with the crisis. 

Steve Bannon is gone and stays gone. The only question now is whether the forces which are amassed against the president would accept the sacrifice and let the president be and allow him to do his job geared towards accomplishing his flagship Make America Great Again campaign promise. The fear however is that these forces will become an Oliver Twist and like the plant in the movie "Little House of Horrors", having tasted blood, will continue to demand for that crimson liquid until they exhaust the president's will to carry on fighting for the American people. With all these firings, particularly the latest Steve Bannon's, these forces will feel more emboldened in their pursuit of the president scalp, having realized that pressure works and that they can influence the president and will continue to dictate who goes and who stays in the White House. 

The good news however is that Steve Bannon, who claimed that he voluntarily resigned and was not fired, is not feeling terribly sad about his latest fate. He has promised to continue fighting for the president from outside the White House. Feeling relieved with his release from the shackles of office, he will go to a full blown war for the president against all his traducers, both in the Congress and in any other place they might be holed in within the Washington DC Swamp establishment. In his own words, Steve Bannon said "If there's any confusion out there, let me clear it up: I'm leaving the White House and going to war for Trump against his opponents -- on Capitol Hill, in the media, and in corporate America." ICHEOKU wishes Steve Bannon God's speed in his new avowed mission and appreciates his effort in electing the president and also for his service while it lasted. So long Steve-B.
