Steve Bannon made national headlines this week, giving a full-throated and off-the-script interview with the American Prospect, where he referred to white supremacist protesters as “clowns” and directly contradicted President Trump’s position on North Korea.
“Until somebody solves the part of the equation that shows me that ten million people in Seoul don’t die in the first 30 minutes from conventional weapons, I don’t know what you’re talking about, there’s no military solution here, they got us,” said Bannon.
Political commentators have been questioning Bannon’s fate for months, as fellow republicans and some White House insiders pushed for the senior advisor’s exit. It remains unclear whether Trump’s senior aide was fired or whether he resigned.
