The departure of Steve Bannon could help President Donald Trump become more disciplined, but the president will "also have to heal himself" now that the controversial chief strategist is gone, The Wall Street Journal editorial staff said Friday. "The most important fact about Stephen Bannon's resignation Friday from the White House staff is that he essentially fired himself," the newspaper's editors wrote. "His departure gives President Trump a chance to revive his listing fortunes, if he draws the right lessons." Now that Bannon is back to Breitbart, he'll be able to wage attacks on people like White House national security adviser H.R. However, the Wall Street Journal noted, Trump often contributes to the stress, through his tweets and by not sticking with decisions.
