Trump Praises Bannon’s Return to Breitbart: ‘Fake News Needs the Competition!’

President Trump is openly welcoming Steve Bannon‘s return to Breitbart where he can fight back against the “fake news.”

After tweeting his thanks to his former chief strategist this morning, the President tweeted out this message:

Steve Bannon will be a tough and smart new voice at @BreitbartNews…maybe even better than ever before. Fake News needs the competition!

Even though Breitbart’s Joel Pollak wrote yesterday that there is a risk of Trump becoming the next Arnold Schwarzenegger of the Republican party, Bannon has been saying that his “war” will be with Trump’s opponents in and out of the White House.
