UPDATE: Mega-donor urged Bannon not to resign

The man credited with honing Donald Trump’s populist message and guiding him into the White House has grown frustrated amid continued infighting in the West Wing, so much so that in recent weeks a top donor had to convince him to stay in his position.

Five people, including a senior administration official and several sources close to the president, tell POLITICO that Bannon, one of Trump’s closest advisers, has clashed with the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, who’s taken on an increasingly prominent portfolio in the West Wing. Bannon has complained that Kushner and his allies are trying to undermine his populist approach, the sources said.

Republican mega-donor Rebekah Mercer, a longtime Bannon confidante who became a prominent Trump supporter during the campaign, urged Bannon not to resign. “Rebekah Mercer prevailed upon him to stay,” said one person familiar with the situation. Another person familiar with the situation, a GOP operative who talks to Mercer, said: “Bekah tried to convince him that this is a long-term play.”

holy cow, clusterf*ck! city!

America will be better when Bannon is removed from the WH permanently.

The 'anti-establishment' types that supposedly got Trump elected are being systematically eliminated by the old guard establishment and they are using Trump himself to accomplish it. Trump, of course, is blithely oblivious to what's going on.

This is embarrassing to conservatives in this board, who have been lying about Bannon being okay with his removal because he was supposed to be there only for a couple of months anyway, they say, until Obama's NSC became "de-operationalized".

Agreed, but it makes it easier if he resigns and leaves on his own.
