UPDATE, 1:53: In a tweet, Trump suggested that Bannon’s exit from the White House will likely only empower his work at Breitbart—and that, whatever led to Bannon’s ouster, Trump still respects his position as a mouthpiece for his alt-right base.

Steve Bannon let loose about Donald Trump’s presidency on Friday night, hours after he was fired from his position in the White House, saying in a freewheeling interview with the Weekly Standard that “the Trump presidency we fought for, and won, is over.” With the former chief strategist’s ousting, he believes, a new era is beginning—an era at odds with his brand of nationalist-populist exceptionalism.

“The Trump presidency that we fought for, and won, is over,” Bannon told the Weekly Standard. “We still have a huge movement, and we will make something of this Trump presidency. But that presidency is over. It’ll be something else. And there’ll be all kinds of fights, and there’ll be good days and bad days, but that presidency is over.

“I just think his ability to get anything done—particularly the bigger things, like the wall, the bigger, broader things that we fought for, it’s just going to be that much harder,” Bannon continued. He said he doesn’t have much faith that Trump and his remaining White House advisers will be able to make good on all those other campaign promises.

“I think they’re going to try to moderate him,” Bannon said. “I think he’ll sign a clean debt ceiling; I think you’ll see all this stuff. His natural tendency — and I think you saw it this week on Charlottesville—his actual default position is the position of his base, the position that got him elected. I think you’re going to see a lot of constraints on that. I think it’ll be much more conventional.”

Shortly after he officially left the White House, Bannon was back on his throne at Breitbart, saying he was “jacked up” and “ready to rev that machine up,” prepared to fight back against the new, more moderate Trump White House.
