"SNIP...........
Steve Bannon has built a lucrative career as an outspoken advocate and defender of white male privilege, but his strategy of pandering to the nations inner nationalist-racist demon that helped Donald Trump win the presidency is increasingly becoming a problem for the administration.
So will the president finally boot Bannon from the White House?
According to some insiders, Trump is hesitant to kick out a man who is held in such high esteem among the presidents key constituency of alt-right supporters. Bannon headed the popular right-wing news site Breitbart before joining Trumps presidential election campaign.
The president obviously is very nervous and afraid of firing him, a White House insider told Reuters. As Trumps popularity tanks, he could be hesitant to alienate his hard-right base by firing one of their own.
