I'm glad he's gone. He and his alt-right minions are human shit.
I do think it was a dumb move for the Trumpster, though. Bannon is as media savvy as they come, and a toxic human being. If he's disgruntled, then we'll find out every piece of dirt imaginable on that administration's staff.
Also, this leaves Trump extremely vulnerable to being pigeonholed as a Goldman-Sachs puppet by the loony (Alex Jones, etc) right. Without Bannon's influence to encourage populism and "economic nationalism", Trump will become just another corporatist warhawk GOP president. It might be a win for the Reps in the House, but when it comes time for re-election, it will be tough for him to cling to the mantle of little man's champion (which was always a lie anyway).
