As you may have heard by now, on Tuesday President Trump made some remarks to the New York Post that seemed to all but spell out the end of Chief Strategist Steve Bannon’s White House career. Trump has been lambasted as Bannon’s puppet pretty much ever since inauguration, which has reportedly infuriated the President, and now it appears he’s trying to walk back how much influence the Breitbart founder has had on his campaign and first few months of his presidency.
“I like Steve, but you have to remember he was not involved in my campaign until very late,” he told the Post. “I had already beaten all the senators and all the governors, and I didn’t know Steve. I’m my own strategist and it wasn’t like I was going to change strategies because I was facing crooked Hillary.”
Bannon has easily been the most ominous figure in Trump’s administration, and with him out — well, it will still be far from an ideal presidency, but at least we won’t have the guy who literally compares himself to Darth Vader and Satan whispering into the President’s ear anymore. So with the metaphorical fork following around Bannon, ready to stick him at any moment, Twitter has responded by throwing a damn party with the hashtag #RoastBannon.
Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out, Steve!

#roastbannon please keep that man away from open flames. No telling how long he'd burn.

Steve Bannon isn't aging before eyes so much as he is decaying before our eyes. #roastbannon
