    Also heard something about how now Breitbart is going to turn on him for this or something. Eager to see how this turns out.

    Means just another source of 'fake news' that dislikes the president.

    Edit: Just checked Breitbart and see that Bannon is "Going to War for Trump" so I guess we'll just a more extreme polarization of Trump's base via Breitbart. Guess the narrative is going to be that Trump is being controlled by the deep state, globalists, and democrats instead of admitting that Trump is incompenent and not capable of carrying out any policies no matter if Democrat, Republican, neo-nationalist, etc...
    What this I think means in the long run is a push to characterize Trumps inevitable future failures as not the responsibility of the Republicans in order to save them during the mid-term elections.

    Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

    On the surface it sounds like the first story is that they "unleashed the Bannon" to fight the "good fight" for Trump. It's hilarious how he says he wants to fight the Goldman Sachs lobbying in the White House when Trump himself brought all these Goldman Sachs people onto his team. I guess Bannon and the others are the exception or whatever.

    mixed media assessments today. Some think this gives Bannon a chance to fight the good fight and challenge Murdoch for king of the right wing media moguls, others suggest that Bannon will rue the efforts he made to instill a cult of personality on the shoulders of Trump.

    It is not all gloom and doom.
    The Trump admin. actually has science research priorities.
    Climate and energy can expect squat but military and basic research look like they may do well.
    As with all statements from this WH, it is simply a vague expression of desire and depends on what Congress has to say (likely through the budget):
