Headed back to battle at Breitbart

Steve Bannon is not going quietly into the night — rejoining Breitbart, the combative nationalist Web site he ran before joining the Trump campaign — and his enemies better be on guard.

The site announced his return just hours after Bannon left the White House.

“The populist-nationalist movement got a lot stronger today,” said Breitbart News editor-in-chief Alex Marlow on Friday.

“Breitbart gained an executive chairman with his finger on the pulse of the Trump agenda.”

President Trump’s former chief strategist told one journalist he’s prepared to pick up right where he left off — waging war against globalists, free-traders, pro-immigration advocates and the mainstream media.

“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 corporate America,” he told Joshua Green, author of “Devil’s Bargain,” a book about Bannon’s rise.

In an interview with the Weekly Standard, Bannon predicted that with him gone, other White house aides would try to “moderate” Trump.

“I think he’ll sign a clean debt ceiling, I think you’ll see all this stuff. His natural tendency — and I think you saw it this week on Charlottesville — his actual default position is the position of his base, the position that got him elected. I think you’re going to see a lot of constraints on that. I think it’ll be much more conventional,” he said.

Bannon blamed the GOP establishment for blocking Trump’s agenda. “The Republican establishment has no interest in Trump’s success on this. They’re not populists, they’re not nationalists, they had no interest in his program. Zero,” he said.
