President Donald Trump's chief strategist Steve Bannon is officially out of the White House.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed the news in a statement Friday: "White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and Steve Bannon have mutually agreed today would be Steve's last day. We are grateful for his service and wish him the best."
Sanders did not say whether Bannon was fired or resigned, but according to media reports, Trump has had a strained relationship with Bannon for some time.

Penn and Presidential Arts Committee Resigns by Telling Trump to Step Down, Too
View StoryAs recently as Thursday night, Trump took issue with Bannon after he was quoted in The American Prospect contradicting POTUS on the North Korea front, claiming he was able to make personnel changes at the State Department.
Hollywood was quick to celebrate all over Twitter over the most recent White House exit.
See some of the best reactions below, but check back for more later, because the party is just getting started.
Who will media decide @realDonaldTrump has to fire next?
@AnnCoulter

Bannon gone. Now to force Trump to get rid of the real racist/fascist/destroyer in the administration: Trump.

The problem was never just Steve Bannon. It was and always will be Donald Trump. https://t.co/cTBqwdwZUW
@SenSanders
Oh good. Now Steve Bannon is free to run underground Nazi websites.
@JenKirkman
Getting Bannon out of the White House won't solve the problem. Neither will one sip of water in the desert but thank you yes I'll drink that

@kumailn
Good news: Steve Bannon is gone.
@kumailn
Bad news: He is being replaced by a sentient swastika with its right arm permanently in the heil salute.
Didn't even have to wait a year "sitting by the bank of the river waiting for the bodies of my enemies to float by." #BannonOut #BoyBye https://t.co/NGCkiYzmvd

@BetteMidler
A shame Bannon won't even have his weekend gig as a Chuck E. Cheese animatronic anymore.
@MJMcKean
Bannon is out. Beware! He can do the exact same thing without an official title in the Administration. Nothing changes until Trump is out.

It is a delicious irony that the white supremacist rally has led to the ouster of the most visible white supremacist from the White House.
@GeorgeTakei
On to Miller and Gorka. Fuck them too.
@timothycsimons
Now we're down to just 3 Nazis in the White House! (and also the VP & AG)
@robdelaney
"You can't go home again" sez giant toilet full of putrid swamp poison to a lumbering, commode-bound Steve Bannon

Sources say Bannon & Trump just couldn't agree on whether some Nazis are good people or all Nazis are good people

Steve Bannon's biography should be titled "American History Eczema".
@McJesse
Steve #Bannon should've never been given the honor of working in the @WhiteHouse & serving the Office of the President of the United States.
@repjoecrowley
Steve Bannon's exit does not erase @realDonaldTrump's long record of lifting up racist viewpoints & advancing repulsive policies. #BannonOut

Steve Bannon is what Luke and Leia were afraid of finding on the floor of the trash compactor room.
@bryanbehar
Steve Bannon looks like he was sewed together from pieces of old Nazis.
@bryanbehar
Steve Bannon is a monster, a racist demagogue who should have never held a job at the White House. Good riddance.
