(Bloomberg) -- Ousted White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon returned to the conservative Breitbart News website on Friday and said he’ll be “going to war” for President Donald Trump, vowing to intensify the fight he has waged against opponents of his brand of populist conservatism.

“If there’s any confusion out there, let me clear it up: I’m leaving the White House and going to war for Trump against his opponents -- on Capitol Hill, in the media, and in corporate America,” Bannon told Bloomberg News Friday in his first public comments after his departure was announced.
Bannon led the evening editorial meeting at Breitbart, where he resumed his role as executive chairman, the website said in a statement. A person who was on the call said Bannon called on the group to "hunker down" and work like never before to advance conservative causes.

Every day that Steve Bananas keeps himself on the news, it's an added embarrassment for Trump that will hurt him among all but his most fascist support base.

Said base, in turn, can't be happy at what they see as "Trump's know-towing to the media." It's a lose-lose no matter how Bannon decides to respond.

Which front is he going to fight in? Wouldn't having Bannon in the front lines be the illegal use of bioweapons?
