Report: Bannon, Priebus May Soon Be Out at the White House

As per Axios, now that Trump has turned over to the neocons dark side, it looks like his chief of staff and top advisor, Reince Priebus and Stave Bannon, will soon be fired from the White House.

Taking their place, apparently, will either by a neocon or lifelong democrat from Goldman Sachs.

Here are the possibilities.

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who developed a bond with Trump as one of the earlier congressional leaders to support him, and remains a confidant.

Wayne Berman of Blackstone Group, a Washington heavy-hitter who was an Assistant Secretary of Commerce under President George H.W. Bush, and a key adviser on eight presidential campaigns.

David Urban of the Washington advisory firm American Continental Group, and a former chief of staff to the late Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.). Urban helped Trump win an upset victory in Pennsylvania, and was in constant cellphone contact with the candidate throughout the campaign.

Gary Cohn, Trump’s economic adviser and the former #2 at Goldman Sachs, who has built a formidable team and internal clout.

Couple this with the fact that Ivanka Trump’s advisor, Dina Powell, former Bush leftover, is now on the NSC, and the rise of Kushner — filling various roles thanks to nepotism, you can clearly see where we’re heading now.

    I won’t expect the market to close green today… flat would be a victory. Coming into the weekend I would think risk off would be the prudent course of action…but markets are always surprising the participants so lets see how the close goes.

    ….so it looks like that deep state is running things unopposed in WH again. They got Trump by his balls. Small balls. Makes me wonder what the deep state has on everybody to blackmail the administration into submission.

      …and I guess we can fade the “lock her up” and “if I am president you’d be in jail’ shit.

    The funniest thing is Fly, and the rest of you, actually seem surprised by how this has all played out.

      what are you talking about. Trump is your President now, doing what you wanted. This should thrill you. You cannot have it both ways.

    All the Trump ball fondlers on this site going to blame any other party, actor, state, meme, pepsi commercial for this impending catastrophe.

    All you have to blame is your Orange Man. No backing down now you flip floppers.

      I voted for Trump and now regret it because he is no different from Hillary, the Bush I and II and Obama.

    They told him play ball or your business empire will be crushed for both you and your children. Seemed like a different person when he spoke last night; almost like they put a spell on him.

      Yea, not accepting responsibility. Just 100% not accepting who you voted for. He was always this.

        What do you mean, Turd? Don’t you support the Syrian strikes? By your logic, you should be praising the President now, not saying ‘he was always this.’
