Sure, Steve, it was YOUR call

-

You’re resigned!

Taking a job with Trump is like taking a Christmas holiday job at Macy’s and expecting it to last until next Thanksgivi­ng. It just ain’t gonna happen, honey — no matter how many turkeys you kill.

Steve Bannon (below), Trump’s nutty, alt-right, right-hand man/ chief strategist just got the jackboot in the butt on Friday, but don’t expect him to do a Sean Spicer and creep around the White House like a wimp begging for scraps after he was kicked like a dog.

Bannon’s camp immediatel­y spun it as, yes, his own decision. Again.

So Bannon left to do ... what? ... spend more time with Satan? Yes, he’s headed back to Breitbart.

Meantime, Mrs. Satan, aka Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who lies like the doormat that she is, actually said in a statement, “White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and Steve Bannon have mutually agreed today would be Steve’s last day. We are grateful for his service and wish him the best.”

What about that official statement is untrue? The part about being grateful, the part about wishing him the best, or even the date?

Oh, right, all are blatant lies.

Trump & Co. (or what’s left of it) wish Bannon would have died on his way out the door so he couldn’t retake the reins of Breitbart, (which he immediatel­y did — as chairman) and go after the President like Kim Jong Un goes after his relatives.

Good luck with that. Breitbart editor Joel Pollak fired the first shot on Friday tweeting out a single hashtag tweet:#WAR. Then Bannon declared to The Weekly Standard: “The Trump presidency that we fought for, and won, is over.” You don’t make a fool of Bannon and think you’ll walk away unbloodied. But why was Bannon really fired? You can make book that it wasn’t for reveling in Charlottes­ville hate when he loose-lipped it to the New York Times: “Just give me more. Tear down more statues. Say the revolution is coming. I can’t get enough of it.” After all, nobody loves hate more than Trump. Nor was Bannon busted for his extremist views, or even for telling The American Prospect there was no military strategy for dealing with North Korea. Bannon got the heave-ho for two things only: Daring to take credit for getting Trump elected, and because John Kelly deemed it so. So the story floating around that Bannon resigned Aug. 7, with an effective date of Aug. 14, is just crazy. That was four days before he was “resigned” in disgrace. Evil geniuses do not allow a story to get ahead of them. Controllin­g the story is Bannon’s specialty, as much as firing people is Trump’s forte. So there’s a race war in the streets, the President’s at war with the legit media, and the right-wing media has declared war on the President. “You’re fired!” was hysterical on a reality show, but in reality it signals hysteria in high places and the start of the U.S. uncivil war.
