« Steve Bannon is being kicked out of the White House. A Confederate statue will reportedly take his place. »
Steve Bannon, Trump’s White House Chief Strategist, has officially left the building and the internet can’t help but notice his impeccable timing.
Amidst a nationwide debate over the decision to remove Confederate monuments — which Trump sees as « beautiful » pieces of history — from the country in wake of the deadly rally in Charlottesville, the people all over the web can’t help but make one big joke about Bannon’s exit:
That joke, of course, is that Bannon has become an ousted Confederate statue himself.
Though he’s not a self-declared white supremacist, the former Breitbart executive was long considered one of Trump’s most controversial administration appointees for his connections to the alt-right.
As he embarks to join the ranks of fellow « pals » also booted from the White House, like Anthony Scaramucci, Sean Spicer, and Reince Priebu, people can’t help but send him off with a warm internet goodbye:
Bye, Bannon. Trump just probably felt you could be comparably replaced…
