Now we know why Trump took a strong pro-Nazi stand? Because Bannon's leaving?

Bannon is returning to Breitbart and is considered by some to be THE leader of the nationalist movement.

Bannon could be a very big thorn in Trump's side in the future. He has the cred in his world, and the outlet, and the followers to do Trump damage among his supporters.

Arnold compromised and wasn't racist, the Right hated him. This is a big insult to Trump.

Bannon is going to go to war with Trump by calling him not far Right enough in the hope to drive Trump further towards Nazism. This is going to be epic.

Bannon goes against trump via breitbart. We have to be careful because alt right may still move towards trump if he doubles down on supporting nazi, in which case alt right may turn against bannon.

unless Trump bucks him. Trump thinks like him, though so I don't see that happening.

trump didn't have the grasp of the alt right at all, he did have their support but it was mainly because russia got involved. But trump knows the drill by now and has the power to bad mouth bannon also.

The very scary possibility is Bannon trying to bully trump which would put him on the defensive to prove that he is the real deal, the new hitler. Trump is and has always been controlled by white supremacist propaganda.

Like it or not breitbart is the pulse of the alt right and it has been reiable in understnding where things are going and what trump is trying to achieve.
