Bannon Removed From National Security Council Role in Shakeup

President Donald Trump reorganized his National Security Council on Wednesday, removing his chief strategist, Stephen Bannon, and downgrading the role of his Homeland Security Adviser, Tom Bossert, according to a person familiar with the decision and a regulatory filing.

National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster was given responsibility for setting the agenda for meetings of the NSC or the Homeland Security Council, and was authorized to delegate that authority to Bossert, at his discretion, according to the filing.

Under the move, the national intelligence director, Dan Coats, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marine Corps General Joseph Dunford, are again "regular attendees" of the NSC’s principals committee.

Bannon, the former executive chairman of Breitbart News, was elevated to the National Security Council’s principals committee at the beginning of Trump’s presidency. The move drew criticism from some members of Congress and Washington’s foreign policy establishment.

The less influence Bannon has, the better.

Another one bites the dust

This is excellent news, even if it doesn't affect us directly. I don't know how much I want to read into this, but if a guy like Bannon can lose favor with Trump then things are definitely looking up. It might mean that Trump is becoming aware that following the advice of someone like Bannon is toxic to his precious image. Lets hope Sessions is next.

Waking up everyday knowing there will be another crazy story coming up from the Trump Admin lol

Didnt Bannon want to keep DACA?

Not sure if good or bad

My same exact thoughts.

I don't think it means anything.

There may be some correlation between this and some articles I have seen now claiming sarcastically (or maybe not so sarcastically) that Jared Kushner is the "real president".
